Casa
Grande Sponsors Bali at EIBTM
 Since
the Bali bombing last October, hotel
occupancy rates have averaged no
better than 20 percent, and arrivals
to the island are down from at least
5,000 a day to 1,500.
Bali representatives that normally
attended EIBTM had written off plans
to attend EIBTM 2003 due to the
current situation in Bali, until
a key meeting between Casa Grande,
a number of Bali Destination’s
Management companies and Tom Nutley,
the chairman of Reed Travel Exhibition
in April, who was convinced that
Bali deserve better.
Casa Grande and RTE took the initiative
to sponsor Bali Representatives
to be present at EIBTM 2003, and
have 4 executives from 4 Bali Destination’s
Management companies in Bali carrying
the torch for the Bali Island in
Geneva. The representatives were
Mr Ida Bagus Lolec, Mr Jack Daniels,
Mr Marc Jacobs and Mr Roberto Don.
Their main purpose was to bring
back Bali image as the island of
peace and to convey the messages
to the industry that Bali is the
safest places in the world and has
not lost any of its paradisiacal,
tropical charm
The feed back they have received
is very positive, as many are still
in love with Bali and are eager
to support Bali to its recovery.
