Kresna builds three hotels

JAKARTA (JP): PT Kresna Duta Wisata (KDW), a subsidiary of the Kresna Duta Group, will construct three star-rated hotels in Wonosobo, Central Java, in Manado, North Sulawesi, and in Flores, East Nusa Tenggara.

The company's spokeswoman Ita Pattiradjawane told The Jakarta Post here over the weekend that KDW is still looking for a partner to manage the hotels, which are expected to start operation within the next two years.

According to Ita, the planned Wonosobo hotel will be the first three-star hotel in the well-known Dieng highlands, while the four-star Manado hotel will be set up near the new Sam Ratulangi airport.

The Kresna Duta Group, owned by Bambang Soegomo, also operates in mining, shipping, garment manufacture and agriculture. (icn)
