Accor thanks partners with cruise

DENPASAR: Accor Hotel & Resort in Bali and Lombok is showing its
gratitude to 50 partner travel agencies with an elegant cruise
extravaganza featuring dinner on Lembongan island.

Participants will depart from Benoa harbor for Lembongan
island, where they will enjoy a special cocktail dinner and a
spectacular fireworks show. A nautical theme will add sparkle to
the night, with Accor team members decked out in sailor outfits
and other seafaring accessories.

Accor regional general manager for Bali and Lombok, Michel
Vivier, said: "Key travel agent relationships have never been
more important than they are today, and Accor is committed to
thanking them for their valuable contributions to the success of
out growing hotel network in Bali and Lombok.

"In July, Accor will open the All Season Legian -- our sixth
hotel in the Bali-Lombok region -- and the continued expansion of
our hotel network in diverse brand offerings is very exciting for
us and the travel agent community.

"Bali has returned to its former popularity with strong
business growth after 12 challenging months. Accor is delighted
to take this opportunity to thank travel agents for their support
and encourage them to send more clients to our hotels."

Accor Indonesia's fast expanding network around the country is
expected to grow to 40 hotels by the end of 2005. --JP
