Platinum Hotel & Convention Hall Balikpapan officially held a\ngrand opening for its latest meeting facility under the theme \u2018The\nLandmark Platinum Convention Hall Is Rising\u2019.

General Manager of Platinum Hotel Balikpapan, Joko Budi Jaya,\nemphasised the hotel\u2019s commitment to becoming a strategic,\nsolution\u2011oriented partner to the government amid the massive development\nof East Kalimantan as a support to the IKN. The tourism and hospitality\nsector\u2014particularly the MICE industry\u2014are required to think creatively\nto present energy- and cost-saving solutions for government\nagencies.<\/p>\n
According to Joko, government events that have been scattered across\nmany venues have proven to incur high coordination and logistics costs.\nWith the presence of Platinum Convention Hall, which has a capacity of\nup to 3,000 people, government agencies can consolidate various major\nagendas under one roof in a more practical way.<\/p>\n
\u2018We see a market opportunity that keeps growing. In the current\nclimate of efficiency, we are applying an adaptive strategy through\ncompetitive packages and strengthened MICE facilities,\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n
Joko stated that the theme this time is not merely words, but carries\ndeep meaning. The phrase \u2018The Landmark\u2019 asserts the ambition that this\nnew convention building is not just an ordinary meeting space, but a\nmasterpiece of architecture and a hub of activities that will become a\nlandmark for Balikpapan. Meanwhile \u2018Is Rising\u2019 describes a strong,\ngrand, and dynamic emergence. It signals Platinum Hotel\u2019s move to higher\nlevels of business.<\/p>\n
\u2018The word Rising can also be understood as the ability to rise and\nrespond to the challenges of the times. In the face of government\ndemands for budget efficiency, Platinum is bringing accommodation\nsolutions that are grand yet still adaptive, competitive, and efficient\nto safeguard the success of national agendas,\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n
