“Sports tourism is the mainstay of TTU, every time we hold a sporting event thousands of people will come and see. We’re going to hold two other events soon: Crossborder Grasstrack and Wini Horse Racing,” said TTU regent Raymundus Sau Fernandes.
Raymundus is aware that the region doesn’t have plenty of tourist attractions to offer which is why they rely on man-made tourism with sports tourism as the leading attraction. According to the tourism portfolio, sports event is categorized as man-made tourism.
“We like to conduct events that can attract the people from neighboring country Timor Leste. We are serumpun [nations with the same kinship], we share the same likings. We’re going to keep on developing our tourist destinations.
