Kite festival bonds
hotel staff

SANUR: The Bali Hyatt Kite Festival was held on Sanur beach on
August 7 to build team unity among staff and allow guests to
experience a Balinese community event.

The event began with a parade of the eight teams from Telaga
Naga restaurant to the beach, where everyone was welcomed with a
Balinese dance.

The judges marked the kites on their beauty and flying
performance, and assessed those involved on their teamwork and
costumes.

The judges inspected the kites and then they were flown.

The winner was the kitchen team (Angel of beauty), followed by
the front office/sales marketing team (Dino kite); in third place
was the gardening team (Cobra kite). -- JP
