Tell us about your career in the travel industry
Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working in nine different countries, and Bali, Indonesia, had been a dream of mine, though the timing was never aligned. When the opportunity arose to join Sofitel Bali Nusa Dua Beach Resort, I eagerly seized it because the hotel’s iconic charm perfectly resonated with my vision and aspirations.
What do you foresee for the Bali hospitality industry in the future?
I am extremely optimistic about Bali’s tourism. With its abundance of natural beauty, cultural richness, and warm hospitality, Bali has always been a sought-after destination for travelers worldwide. Indonesia, in particular, offers a unique blend of tropical paradise, diverse landscapes, and vibrant local experiences. We are committed to providing a safe and luxurious haven for travelers seeking relaxation, adventure, and cultural immersion. We believe that as travelers begin to rediscover the beauty of Asia, they will not only contribute to the region’s economic growth but also create lasting connections with its people, culture, and nature.
