Currently, Best Western International holds five properties in Indonesia for 700 rooms: one in Jakarta, one in Semarang and three in Bali. However, the hotel group has set an ambitious goal of having a portfolio of 31 hotels for over 6,000 rooms across the islands by 2015. This will see BWI's Indonesian portfolio double by the end of the year with five more hotels in Jakarta, including the BW Premier brand debut in the city."We are witnessing an important period in the history of Indonesia. Across the country, disposable income is rising and demand for travel is increasing", explains Glenn de Souza, BWI's vice president, international operations for Asia and the Middle East. "With the ASEAN Economic Community's goal of regional economic integration by 2015 and with Indonesia at its heart, this growth trajectory will only get steeper in the coming years", he continues.The plan was unveiled at a press conferrence held at the new Best Western Premier Sunset Road Kuta in Bali (pictured).
