Garuda Orient Holidays and Garuda Indonesia show appreciation to Bali industry partners

November 21st, 2008

On 12 November Garuda Orient Holidays (GOH) and Garuda Indonesia (GA) hosted the fifth annual ‘Bali Achievement Awards and Appreciation Cocktails’ function for almost 100 Bali hotels and activity suppliers at the exclusive Nusa Dua Beach Hotel & Spa, Bali.

Each year the function brings together General Managers and senior representatives from across Bali’s tourism and hospitality industry, which has seen a strong revival from the Australian market in recent years, and the event is now a regular feature on the Bali industry social calendar!

Almost 200 hotels and suppliers work with GOH and GA through their “Bali on ANY budget” product. This year the event enabled not only the wholesaler’s Management, but also all of GA’s Australia-based General Managers and Sales and Marketing teams,  to meet face to face with a large number of these industry colleagues and to personally thank them for their support in the past year.

“Garuda Orient Holidays and Garuda Indonesia in Australia have always invested heavily, both financially and emotionally, in the promotion of our favourite island destination” says Mr Poerwoko Soeparyono, Director of GOH and Senior General Manager Australia & Southwest Pacific for GA.

“We do this with confidence knowing that our Bali suppliers will always stand with us and offer every possible assistance. There is no doubt that this cooperation has played a significant role in Australia’s return to its traditional position as the second largest source market for visitors to Bali,”

Appreciation plaques were awarded to selected hotels and attractions throughout Bali, reflecting not only high achievements in sales, but also popularity amongst our customers and staff, as well as for valued ongoing support both in Bali and on the ground here in Australia.

Award categories included:
Highest Overall Sales for Resort
Highest Overall Sales for Attraction / Activity
Highest Sales Growth
Most Popular “Discover Luxury” Hotel
GOH Managers Choice
Most Popular Boutique/Villa Property
Most Popular Family Friendly Property
GOH People’s Choice 2008

All award winning hotels and activity suppliers are featured in Garuda Indonesia’s “Bali on ANY budget” brochure.

As always, attendance was high, the venue was stunning, the company scintillating and a great time was had by all.
