Minister of Tourism, Commerce and Industry Gil Alves - Speech at the Opening Ceremony for the Sunset Fair

Their Excellencies President Jose Ramos-Horta and Minister of Tourism, Commerce and Industry, Gil Alves, perform the opening ceremony for the Sunset Fair
"Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Thank you very much for joining us at tonight’s Grand Opening of the Dili Sunset Fair. From October 6th, the Sunset Fair will run every Wednesday throughout the dry season;  I believe that we will see it go from strength to strength to become a favourite fixture on the tourism events calendar.
It will serve as a showcase for international and domestic tourists to appreciate the range of food, entertainment and handicrafts available in this country.
This event is modeled on the hugely successful Mindil Sunset Beach Markets in Darwin and we are delighted to announce that the Mindil Markets Association will be acting as our partner in developing the Sunset Fair.
We are honoured to welcome a delegation from Darwin here tonight. They are going to be working with the Sunset Fair Association in the long term, sharing an impressive variety of skills and experience in support of their Timorese counterparts–everything from circus performance to fair administration and restaurant management .
I would like to thank them for their dedication and valuable contribution to private sector and tourism development in Timor-Leste.  Together we will work towards enhancing the creativity, diversity and quality of the products and experiences offered at the Sunset Fair.
I would also like to thank our sponsors, Airnorth, for facilitating the participation of the Mindil Sunset Markets Association. Airnorth is a steady supporter of tourism development in Timor-Leste, acting as a bridge between Dili and Darwin and as a ready partner in the increasing number of special events that are being staged to attract visitors to Timor-Leste.  
Airnorth’s slogan, “Together We Fly” symbolizes the growing relationship that Timor-Leste shares with the Northern Territory, as we work towards our common goals of prosperity and friendship.
 Thanks are also due to the Timorese entertainer Boy Clemens – who will be performing here tonight - and the television company Valsa Productions, for their creative contributions as Sunset Fair promotional sponsors.
The Sunset Fair is the result of the combined efforts of these partners and sponsors with those of the cross-sectoral Organising Committee, which has coordinated contributions from a diverse range of State and Civil society participants.  Under the auspices of the National Directorate of Tourism, the Organising Committee has demonstrated that good teamwork can produce impressive results.
This exciting new event will create economic benefits for years to come and I am looking forward to sharing the public’s enjoyment of the Dili Sunset Fair.  I hope you have a wonderful evening and thank you for coming".

NIGHT LIFE: SUNSET FAIR BRINGS FOOD, CRAFTS AND MUSIC TO KRISTU REI BEACH


Live music, circus entertainers, international cuisine, Timorese handicrafts and a bouncy castle are all lined up for the grand opening of the Sunset Fair on Saturday, September 11th.  Guests at the launch – which is open to the public - will include several hundred Tour de Timor participants, members of the diplomatic community and government officials. 
The inspiration for the Dili Sunset Fair was drawn from a recent visit to the highly successful Mindil Beach Sunset Markets in Darwin by the Minister of Tourism, Commerce and Industry, Mr Gil Alves, who was impressed with the range of local and international products on sale and the large numbers of visitors to the event, which has become one of Darwin’s leading tourism attractions and a major contributor to the economy of the Northern Territory.
“I thought to myself, ‘we could do something like this in Dili’. We have the products, we have the location,   we have the talent and we are keen to expand the range of experiences that Timor-Leste can offer to tourists, as well as the market for our local handicrafts”, Alves said.
The Sunset Fair location at Kristu Rei has recently been renovated by the Timor-Leste Ministry of Tourism, Commerce and Industry. 
“This is a fantastic use of this purpose-built tourism facility,” Quintas said, “There is a performance arena, plenty of parking and space for up to 50 stalls. It is right beside one of our country’s most beautiful white sand beaches, with spectacular views of the sunset and it is surrounded by a nature reserve.  I am sure that the Sunset Fair will be a great addition to our night life in Dili and will be popular with both foreign and local tourists, especially families”.
 The Mindil Beach Sunset Market Association Inc will be signing a Memorandum of Understanding with the   Directorate of Tourism, to share their expertise with their Timorese counterparts in launching and developing  the Sunset Fair.  MBSMA  General Manager, Kylie McCourt said that the technical support being offered to  the Sunset Fair organisers would extend to advice, training, cross-promotion and regular exchanges of traders and entertainers between the two events. 
“I believe that Mindil Markets’ relationship with the Sunset Fair will be a two-way street,” McCourt said, “One of our aims is to promote the sharing of cultural community and we are looking forward to developing long-term ties with our friends in Dili, so that we can learn more about what Timor-Leste has to offer in terms of products and cultural experiences, to the benefit of both parties. We would love to see some Timorese traders and visitors over here at Mindil”.  
A delegation from the MBSMA is travelling to Timor-Leste to participate in the September 11th inauguration of the Sunset Fair, which is expected to run every Wednesday evening throughout the dry season, from October 6th until December 15th 2010.  The Mindil Market visitors will be selling some of their creative handicrafts at the fair, as well as performing fire-twirling, stilt-walking and face-painting for children.    
Sunset Fair will be offering a wide range of local and international culinary specialities as well as traditional weavings, carvings and other typical local handicrafts and products.  Timorese entertainers will include Boy Clemens, who recently recorded a song about the Sunset Fair beach, entitled “Areia Branca”, which he will be performing at the opening event.  His album, “Forca de Amor” will also be on sale.
The Sunset Fair grand opening will be MC’d by Anito Matos and there will be performances by 5 de Oriente as well as  Le Ziaval and Tramasta Timorese dancing troupes.
The Venture Hotel and Esset will be bringing their Bouncy Castle to the fair. (a large inflatable “building”  designed for children to jump around and use as a trampoline).
The Sunset Fair will allocate a proportion of its stalls to international traders, as it aims to offer a multi-cultural experience to visitors and to extend the creativity of Timorese business in developing new products.  The Mindil Beach Sunset Market Association will assist with the development of the Sunset Fair in creative product development, food hygiene, Association and Market Management and other areas touching on private sector strengthening. 
The Sunset Fair will also offer a regular opportunity to Timorese entertainers to gain experience in performing in public and to promote their music. They will be allowed to sell their CDs at the event.  “We encourage all performers who are seeking an audience to register their interest with us so that we can draw up a schedule of entertainers to last the whole Sunset Fair season,” said Quintas, “This is also a chance for youth and church groups to get valuable exposure and  to raise funds for charity”.  

Corporate sponsors for the event include Airnorth, Valsa Productions, and Boy Clemens.   
Applicants must submit their requests to Mr Antonio Da Silva, tel: 7410185 or go directly to the National Directorate of Tourism, Rua Dom Aleixo Corte-Real, Fomento, Mandarin. Participants must commit to operating their stall every Wednesday evening from 5pm-10pm for the full market season (Oct.6th-Dec. 15th).  The government will provide electricity, water and a basic stall structure to participants, but they must supply any other equipment they need, such as tables and extra lighting, themselves.

Boy Clemens to perform at grand opening of Sunset Fair in Dili, Timor-Leste




Sunset Fair organizers have announced that Timorese recording artist and songwriter Boy Clemens will be performing at the launch of the event in Dili, Timor-Leste on September 11th, 2010.
Paulus Boy Ratamila Clemens, aka Boy Clemens, was born in Kupang, Dec 16th, 1968. His mother is Timorese, although she lost contact with her family in the strife of Timor-Leste’s struggle for independence.
Boy Clemens said that he started to love music as a child. He was already playing in bands when he was at junior and high school. As a college student, he started to perform in cafes in Jakarta and sang regularly at church; this led to him joining an “a capella” group, Talenta. His key influences are black music and jazz.
Boy Clemens’ big break came when he met renowned Indonesian composer Erwin Gutawa, who asked him to sing backing vocals with his orchestra, which helped him to develop his distinctive voice and musicality, as well to gain experience of working across a wide range of different genres. Appearances on Indonesian television soon followed and Boy Clemens started to write his own material. The result was his debut album, “Forca de Amor”, which he composed, arranged, mastered, produced and distributed himself, without the support of a record label.
The spirit behind “Forca de Amor” is Boy Clemens’ pride in his Timorese heritage: “I want to tell the world that Timor-Leste has a beautiful cultural tradition” he explained.
The songs on the album span a variety of musical styles, with lyrics in Tetum (an indigenous Timorese language) and themes touching on peace and reconciliation, love of nature and the country’s stunningly beautiful landscapes. Overall, the sound of Boy Clemens is melodic and laid-back, perfect for easy listening as you watch the sun go down after a day at the beach. This is why the track “Areia Branca” (White Sands) has been selected as the anthem for the Sunset Fair, a weekly event in Dili featuring entertainment, food and local handicraft stalls, which is being launched on September 11th - on the Dili beach that inspired the song.
“I made that song to remind people that the beauty of the ocean belongs to them. But I had never seen the beach when I wrote the song – I had only heard stories from the people how beautiful it is. The song is supposed to call people around the world to see that Timor-Leste also has a beach that is just as beautiful – if not more – than beaches in Bali or elsewhere”.
Now Boy Clemens will be travelling to Timor-Leste to participate in the concert for Sunset Fair launch: “Who could have imagined that I would be performing my music in that very place?” he said, laughing, “I’m so excited. It feels so good. It must be my destiny”.

Boy Clemens’ album, “Forca de Amor” will be on sale at the Sunset Fair. For further information, email boyclemens@yahoo.com or call +670-7234715. Listen to "Areia Branca" here

Sunset Fair Opening in Dili, Timor-Leste: September 11th 2010

National Director of Tourism Jose Quintas announced on Thursday (August 9th) that the Ministry of Tourism, Commerce and Industry is organizing a weekly Sunset Fair to be held every evening throughout the dry season at Kristu Rei beach. The event launch on Saturday, September 11th, 2010, will feature Timorese and international entertainers, food stalls serving dishes from all over the world and a market for local handicrafts. Guests at the launch – which is open to the public - will include several hundred Tour de Timor participants, members of the diplomatic community and government officials.
The inspiration for the Dili Sunset Fair was drawn from a recent visit to the highly successful Mindil Beach Markets in Darwin by the Minister of Tourism, Commerce and Industry, Mr Gil Alves, who was impressed with the range of local and international products on sale and the large numbers of visitors to the event, which has become one of Darwin’s leading tourism attractions and a major contributor to the economy of the Northern Territory.
“I thought to myself, ‘we could do something like this in Dili’. We have the products, we have the location, we have the talent and we are keen to expand the range of experiences that Timor-Leste can offer to tourists, as well as the market for our local handicrafts”, Alves said.
The Sunset Fair location at Kristu Rei has recently been renovated by the Timor-Leste Ministry of Tourism, Commerce and Industry.
“This is a fantastic use of this purpose-built tourism facility,” Quintas said, “There is a performance arena, plenty of parking and space for up to 50 stalls. It is right beside one of our country’s most beautiful white sand beaches, with spectacular views of the sunset and it is surrounded by a nature reserve. I am sure that the Sunset Fair will be a great addition to our night life in Dili and will be popular with both foreign and local tourists, especially families”.
The Mindil Beach Sunset Market Association Inc will be signing a Memorandum of Understanding with the Directorate of Tourism, to share their expertise with their Timorese counterparts in launching and developing the Sunset Fair. MBSMA General Manager, Kylie McCourt, who paid a visit to to Dili recently to discuss the agreement, said that the technical support being offered to the Sunset Fair organisers would extend to advice, training, cross-promotion and regular exchanges of traders and entertainers between the two events.
“I believe that Mindil Markets’ relationship with the Sunset Fair will be a two-way street,” McCourt said, “One of our aims is to promote the sharing of cultural community and we are looking forward to developing long-term ties with our friends in Dili, so that we can learn more about what Timor-Leste has to offer in terms of products and cultural experiences, to the benefit of both parties. We would love to see some Timorese traders and visitors over here at Mindil”.
A delegation from the MBSMA will be travelling to Timor-Leste to participate in the September 11th inauguration of the Sunset Fair, which is expected to run every Wednesday evening throughout the dry season, from October 6th until December 15th 2010.
Sunset Fair will be offering a wide range of local and international culinary specialities as well as traditional weavings, carvings and other typical local handicrafts and products. Timorese entertainers will include Boy Clemens, who recently recorded a song about the Sunset Fair beach, entitled “Areia Branca”, which he will be performing at the opening event. His album, “Forca de Amor” will also be on sale. The Sunset Fair will allocate a proportion of its stalls to international traders, as it aims to offer a multi-cultural experience to visitors and to extend the creativity of Timorese business in developing new products.
As space at the Kristu Rei is limited, businesses wishing to participate in the Sunset Fair will be chosen according to strict criteria designed to promote the project’s core values of Diversity, Creativity and Quality. One of the reasons for the success of the Mindil Markets is that no two stalls can offer exactly the same merchandise or dishes, a rule that will also be applied to the Sunset Fair in Dili.
“My advice for Sunset Fair participants is to specialize: select your best products, focus on them and do not attempt to sell the whole range of items available in your main business. In this way, the Sunset Fair will serve as a “shop window” to promote your company’s activity and increase day-to-day trade,“ Quintas explained. In the case of National traders, precedence will be given to those offering items produced from Timorese materials, using Timorese labour and representing Timorese culture. A limited number of spaces will be allocated to international traders offering products not available in Timor-Leste, especially innovative or technological items or hand-crafted merchandise reflecting the creativity and culture of the producer (fashion, art, jewellery, etc.). Any stall – National or International - offering products suitable for children will be favoured in the selection process.
The Sunset Fair will also offer a regular opportunity to Timorese entertainers to gain experience in performing in public and to promote their music. They will be allowed to sell their CDs at the event. “We encourage all performers who are seeking an audience to register their interest with us so that we can draw up a schedule of entertainers to last the whole Sunset Fair season,” said Quintas, “This is also a chance for youth and church groups to get valuable exposure and to raise funds for charity”.
Applicants must submit their requests to Mr Antonio Da Silva, tel: 7410185 or go directly to the National Directorate of Tourism, Rua Dom Aleixo Corte-Real, Fomento, Mandarin. The deadline for application for the October 6-December 15, 2010 Sunset Fair season is: Tuesday, September 14th. Applications received after this date may be put on a waiting list.
Participants must commit to operating their stall every Wednesday evening from 5pm-10pm for the full market season. The government will provide electricity, water and a basic stall structure to participants, but they must supply any other equipment they need, such as tables and extra lighting, themselves. Stalls at the September 11th Sunset Fair Inauguration event are free of charge, but traders must pay a fee ($50 per stall) to register for the full season (from Oct. 6th-Dec. 15th 2010) in cash once their application has been approved and their Sunset Fair Trader pass has been issued. A copy of a current business registration must be attached to the Sunset Fair application form. No refund will be given in case of withdrawal and 2-weeks’ notice is required to cease trading. Full criteria for stallholders can be viewed here and you can join our Facebook group here and follow us on Twitter @SunsetFair.

Would you like a stall at the Sunset Fair? Criteria for participants.

The three key values:
Diversity – Creativity – Quality
Objectives of the Sunset Fair
The Sunset Fair aims to create a showcase for all that is best in Timor-Leste’s local products, handicrafts, culture and entertainment.  Not all of the businesses in this country are ready to operate at this level and one of the key objectives of the Sunset Fair is to create a market for the best business (and cultural) performers to set out their wares and to represent Timor- Leste on a regular basis at an event for foreign and domestic tourists.  Space is limited and participants are expected to pay stall or performance fees (although these will be waived for opening night on September 11th) and provide their own equipment.  MTCI provides the space, the event publicity, the tent, the water and electricity supply. The traders do the rest for themselves and if they offer diversity, creativity and quality, they will reap the financial and promotional rewards offered by the Sunset Fair.  A small number of stalls are reserved for international participants: the reason for this is to help national traders develop our three key values by setting an example.  A key piece of advice for Sunset Fair participants is to specialize: select your best products, focus on them and do not attempt to sell the whole range of items available in your main business. In this way, the Sunset Fair will serve as a “shop window” to promote your company’s activity and increase day-to-day trade.
The Sunset Fair is primarily a recreational event for family entertainment: any product or performance that is especially suitable for children will find special favour.
Criteria for participants
Initially, the Sunset Fair will offer 36 stalls (6 pavilions and 30 tented areas, approx. 3.5mt x 3.5mt) to participants.
They will be divided up as follows:
·         26 spaces for National traders (21 tents and 5 pavilions)
·         10 spaces for International traders (9 tents and 1 pavilion).
Entertainers will share the performance arena, in successive performances (larger groups requiring amplification), and some (buskers, acrobats, etc.) will be given non-tented “pitches” within the Sunset Fair compound.   These spaces will be allocated similarly to the stalls, with a majority of Timorese performers and a small quota of internationals.  Criteria for performers will be drawn up separately from those governing traders, according to their specific needs and nature. In the case of international performers, preference will be given to childrens’ entertainers and performances representing indigenous culture from abroad. 
Of the stalls, there will be a further division according to types of activity:
-          National traders: 10 tents for food, 11 tents for handicrafts and other products, with the extra 5 pavilions devoted to either handicrafts or services such as massage or tourism.
-          International traders: 6 tents for food, 3 for international products, 1 pavilion for services, such as massage or face-painting.
Stall selection criteria:
-          Timor-Leste based National and International traders must have a current business registration; this requirement will be waived in the case of “guest” international traders participating on a “one-off” basis or other special circumstances. 
-          All traders must specify at the time of making their application exactly what type of product they intend to offer from their stalls. No two stalls may offer exactly the same merchandise; the aim of the Sunset Fair is to make every stall different.  Focusing on the best two or three products offered by each business is a good way to achieve this; for example one Padang restaurant might serve its Beef Rendang at the Sunset Fair, whereas another might sell its special fried chicken.  
-          In the case of National traders, precedence will be given to those offering items produced from Timorese materials, using Timorese labour and representing Timorese culture. 
-          In the case of International traders, precedence will be given to those offering products not available in Timor-Leste, especially innovative or technological items or hand-crafted merchandise reflecting the creativity and culture of the producer (fashion, art, jewellery, etc.).
-          Any stall – National or International - offering products suitable for children will be favoured in the selection process.  (eg. Boneka Atauro).  
-          Food traders must abide by national laws governing food hygiene and expiry dates for ingredients, etc.
-          Stalls wishing to use electrical and gas appliances on their stalls must submit their equipment to the Sunset Fair committee for a safety inspection.
Inappropriate merchandise
The following merchandise may not be offered for sale at the Sunset Fair:
-          Raw foods, such as kangkong, potatoes etc., unless prepared as washed salads, cut, peeled or presented on plates (ie coconuts, fruits etc.) or pre-packaged (cassava chips, tomato sauce, jam etc.)
-          Live animals
-          Products derived from protected species such as coral or turtle shell or timber cut without license, as well as untreated materials containing pests or fungus that is unlikely to pass quarantine inspection.
-          Items of an obscene or culturally offensive nature
-          Handicrafts representing Timor-Leste cultural values, designs or motifs that have been mass-produced overseas
-          Construction materials, except for small tools and appliances that are innovative (in the case of international traders) or hand-crafted (national traders, eg. Baucau blacksmith).
-          Stalls consisting of displays composed wholly of samples of goods that are not for sale at the Sunset Fair, with the exception of services such as tourism
