Bringing Conrad brand to Indonesia -- starting with Bali<\/p>\n
On April 1, Conrad Hotels president Clement Barter visited the
\nparadise island of Bali to inaugurate his company's newly
\nfinished property, Conrad Bali Resort and Spa at Tanjung Benoa on
\nthe coast of Nusa Dua.<\/p>\n
He felt the need to meet with local journalists to present the
\ncompany's views and mission. \"Conrad didn't just arrive in Bali
\nby chance: It was a long and selective process,\" he told a media
\nconference at the newly opened hotel last Thursday.<\/p>\n
Barter is currently responsible for the 16 luxury properties
\nin the Conrad group in Europe, Asia, South America, the Middle
\nEast and Asia.<\/p>\n
\"We have developed six new properties in the last three
\nyears,\" he said. Conrad now has 16 hotels in various parts of the
\nworld. \"The company is not growing at a very fast pace because
\nthe nature of luxury hotels is such that it takes a long time to
\nplan and design them,\" added Barter.<\/p>\n
He said that he strongly believed luxury development would
\nsoon be in the forefront, particularly in Asia where Conrad plans
\nto expand relatively quickly.<\/p>\n
Barter believes that a satisfied customer base is what makes a
\nhotel successful, but it is also important that the staff and the
\nowners are happy. The owner of the 313-room resort is PT Oriental
\nIndah Bali Hotel.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, general manager of Conrad Bali Resort and Spa
\nMichael Burchett said that the occupancy rate at the hotel for
\nApril was 25 percent. In May, the rate will increase to 40
\npercent and for June it will be 45 percent. \"That's very good for
\na new hotel,\" he said.<\/p>",
