YOGYAKARTA: The Spanish hotel chain Sol Melia has appointed Jean-
Paul Riby as the new general Manager of Melia Purosani Hotel to
replace Morten Andersen who has moved to Malaysia.

A native Frenchman, Riby has more than 20 years' experience in
the industry. A graduate of a hotel school of management in
southern France, he started his carrier in Monte Carlo. Melia
Purosani is his first experience managing an international five-
star hotel.

Speaking five languages -- Indonesian, English, Italian,
Spanish and French -- in equal fluency, Riby has spent some 12
years in Indonesia.

"That is one of the reasons why he has a profound
understanding about the Indonesian culture and language," hotel
public relations manager Atik Damarjati said. --JP
