JAKARTA (JP): PT Graha Chandra Buana in cooperation with Southern Pacific Hotel Corp. will build a four-star hotel, Hotel Centra, in Semarang with a total investment of Rp 55 billion (US$23.4 million), an official said over the weekend.

The Investment Coordinating Board's provincial office's chairman, Soedarsono, said in Semarang over the weekend that with the new hotel he expected the number of tourists visiting the city would increase.

He expects more star hotels to be developed in the city to support the development of the Central Java's tourism sector.

"Investments for new hotels here are still open," he said.

He said that PT Graha Chandra Buana -- a producer of soft drinks in Central Java -- would also build a three-star hotel, Centra, in Wonosobo, Central Java.

He said he did not know the total investment for the new hotel development. (bnt)
