Omni Batavia's first anniversary

JAKARTA (JP): Omni Batavia hotel on Jl. Kalibesar Barat, in
West Jakarta, celebrated its first anniversary by offering free
circumcisions for children from poor families and orphanages.

Mita Wullur, public relations manager of the hotel, said that
as many as 70 children from nearby neighborhoods and from
orphanages in Pluit subdistrict, North Jakarta, and Kwitang
subdistrict, Central Jakarta, got free circumcisions

"It's difficult to find as many as 100 children from
neighboring areas. Many families have moved to other parts of the
capital," said Tadjudin Widodo, chief of the Roa Malaka
subdistrict where the Omni Batavia hotel is located.

The circumcision was carried out by seven doctors from the
School of Medicine of the University of Indonesia.

Mita also said that the four-star Omni Batavia, with 288
rooms, has an occupancy rate of 45 percent to 50 percent.

"Traffic jams are the biggest drawback to us in the
management in trying to attract guests to the hotel," Mita said.
