Two more hotels to open in Nusa Dua<\/p>\n
NUSA DUA, Bali (JP): The Nusa Dua tourist resort will soon
\nhave two more international-standard hotels.<\/p>\n
The president of the Nusa Dua resort management firm, PT Bali
\nTourism Development Corporation (BTDC), Anak Agung Gde Rai, said
\nhere on Sunday that construction of the two hotels would start
\nsoon.<\/p>\n
"Each hotel, which will be managed by Kempinski and Pacific
\nResorts, will be located on a 7.5-hectare plot," Gde Rai said
\nduring the grand reopening of the Nusa Dua Beach Hotel.<\/p>\n
Kempinski is a Germany-based international hotel management
\nfirm partly owned by Dusit Thani of Thailand, while Pacific
\nResorts is an Australian-based hotel chain.<\/p>\n
The concept of Nusa Dua, situated on the eastern rim of
\nSemenanjung Bukit, was born out of Bali's 1971 master plan to
\nreinvigorate the country's economy. The government then assigned
\nBTDC to develop and manage the 350-hectare resort area.<\/p>\n
Basic infrastructures were installed in the resort, including
\nroads, electricity, water, telecommunications and waste systems.<\/p>\n
Developers were then invited to lease individual plots in the
\nself-contained tourist area. The developers are usually joint-
\nventure companies between Indonesian and foreign partners.<\/p>\n
Club Med, Nusa Dua Beach, Sheraton Nusa Indah, Sheraton
\nLagoon, Melia, Grand Hyatt, Putri Bali, Hilton and Aman
\ncurrently operate luxury properties in Nusa Dua.<\/p>\n
Gde Rai said that when a company signs a leasing contract with
\nBTDC, it has to pay a minimum compensation to BTDC until the
\nhotel begins operation. After the hotel begins operation, it has
\nto pay them a leasing fee.<\/p>\n
"The minimum leasing fee is US$300 per room per year, with a
\ncalculation that one hectare of land consists of 50 rooms," he
\nsaid. "The fee is calculated on the basis of the hotel's
\noperating revenues, comprised of 4 percent from room operation, 3
\npercent from food business, 2 percent from beverage business and
\n10 percent from other income."<\/p>\n
He said BTDC netted a profit of about Rp 12 billion (US$5.2
\nmillion) last year.<\/p>\n
The first hotel in the area was the Nusa Dua Beach Hotel,
\nbuilt in 1983 by PT Aerowisata, a subsidiary of Garuda Indonesia.
