ABSTRACT
This final project report was written based on the internship accomplished at the event of Bengawan Solo Travel Mart 2015 within a month in January. This international event was organized under the Association of Indonesia Tours and Travel Agencies (ASITA). During the internship I worked as a volunteer in seller division which the job desk was to maintain anything related with seller in the Bengawan Solo Travel Mart 2015.The objectives of this report are to describe about Bengawan Solo Travel Mart 2015 as tourism event and describes the significance of volunteer role in Bengawan Solo Travel Mart and the problems faced during Bengawan Solo Travel Mart 2015.
During the internship at Bengawan Solo Travel Mart 2015, I had to adapt to a new atmosphere and different responsibilities from student life to voluntary job. I encountered several problems; the lack of communication and briefing; the limited number of volunteers; and the lack of volunteers who could speak English because the committees did not equip them with English, whereas it was so essential for international tourism event.
