Seminar on hotel business

Seminar on hotel business

JAKARTA (JP): The Jakarta chapter of the Indonesian Hotels and
Restaurants Association will hold a seminar on March 27 to
discuss challenges faced by hotel and restaurant businesses in
2003.

In 2003, trade liberalization policies will come into effect
in the Southeast Asian region abolishing almost all non-tariff
barriers, chairwoman of the organizing committee for the seminar,
Indriani, said yesterday.

The impact of trade liberalization would hamper the Indonesian
hotel and restaurant trade if businessmen were not ready for the
competition, she said.

She said that the seminar, scheduled to feature businessman
Ciputra and psychologist Yaumil C. Achir, was being held to help
businessmen anticipate the new challenges they will have to face.
