Saraswati Subadia as Director of Sales for InterContinental Bali Resort

November 24th, 2008

InterContinental Bali Resort takes great pleasure in announcing the recent appointment of Ms. Saraswati Subadia as Director of Sales. She is replacing Ms. Justina Puspawati who was promoted to Director of Sales, Bali Resorts following the formation of a new sales cluster to support the IHG resorts in Bali.

Born and raised on the island of Bali, Saraswati graduated with a diploma in Tourism Management from the STP College Nusa Dua. She first embarked on a career within the hospitality industry in 2000 working as an Account Executive for Dimension in Bali, a reputable destination management company. Saraswati was later promoted to Senior Account Executive for the same establishment and also had the opportunity to work briefly for a local Event Organiser as Business Development Manager.

In 2004 Saraswati joined Hard Rock Hotel Bali as Assistant Sales Manager for Banquet & MICE where she was instrumental in generating business and coordinating all aspects of events staged at the property. Saraswati was soon rewarded for her efforts and embraced the challenge of a more senior role at the hotel as Sales Manager Corporate & Banquet.

Saraswati decided to develop her skills at a larger corporate property and accepted a role at InterContinental Bali Resort as Senior Sales Manager in 2006. Her dedication and abilities were soon recognised and she was quickly promoted to Associate Director of Sales MICE, a position that she has held successfully up until this latest appointment.

As Director of Sales, Saraswati will assume responsibility for all aspects of the sales department and manage a team of five staff members. Her wealth of knowledge regarding not only the MICE and wholesale travel sectors, but also the cultural and artistic attributes of Bali is a solid grounding for her new role. Saraswati will report directly to Ms. Suzette Deveau, Area Director of Sales & Marketing for IHG Indonesia/Malaysia Resorts.

Blessed by an endless stretch of white sand beach overlooking the tranquil waters of Jimbaran Bay, InterContinental Bali Resort features 418 guest rooms in three unique levels of accommodation. The property embraces a 14 hectare tropical landscape that is a blend of indigenous flora, gentle waterways and stone statues reflecting the island’s artistic heritage. There are six swimming pools, Planet Trekkers children’s resort, a fitness centre and plenty of recreational activities to keep guests occupied throughout the day. Spa Uluwatu is a dedicated healing and beauty facility for individual sessions, while the exclusive Villa Retreats promises indulging spa packages for couples. A superb choice of restaurant venues make every dining experience an adventure in culinary excellence.

At InterContinental we believe that superior, understated service and outstanding facilities are important, but what makes us truly different, is the genuine interest we show in our guests.
