HOT | report Meliá Hotels International Launches Its Business Results through September 2016

Gabriel Escarrer, Vice Chairman and CEO: “Business results through September were boosted by the impact of positive tourism trends in Spain which our Company has been able to maximize thanks to our experience and leadership in the resort hotels segment and the successful strategy to renovate, rebrand and repositioning some of our most emblematic assets. In addition, intense debt reduction and improved financial results have put us in an excellent position to take on the growth we expect in the short, medium and long term.”

Jakarta – Meliá Hotels International announced results for the first nine months of the year today, the Company recorded a net profit of €92.2 million, a 74% increase over the first nine months of 2015.

The positive results are boosted by the positive impact of demand in a positive summer season in Spain, and also reaping the rewards of the strategy to renovate, rebrand and reposition some of its most emblematic resort hotels in recent years. Taken together, these hotels saw RevPAR increases of 40%.

Meliá’s experience and leadership in the leisure segment also contributed to its success in city hotels in Spain, which saw remarkable growth in revenue per available room of 11% in the third quarter. Meliá once again highlights the strong performance of the hotel business as the most important factor behind results which do not include any capital gains from asset sales in the third quarter.

With regard to the close of 2016 and 2017, the Company expects to complete the sale of some non - strategic assets in the portfolio to strengthen the model of using joint ventures as a driver for the transformation of assets which require large investments, also posi tively contributing to the quality of the properties operated under the different brands, and the intensification of the Company business model fundamentally based on hotel management.

Financial results also had a positive influence, with a significant reduction in debt (€240 million less than in December 2015) combining with a consistent reduction in the average interest rate, which fell to 3.6%, generating savings in finance costs of €20.5 million.

The reduction of net debt to €528.8 million was made possible by the amortization of the convertible bond and increased cash flow from the business, all of which contributed to improved financial ratios, such as the ratio of Net Debt / EBITDA (excluding capital gains) that the Company expects to maintain between 2.5 and 3 times.

Regarding international expansion, Meliá Hotels International continued to add hotels in emerging markets in which it already operates, such as Indonesia, with the addition of the Meliá Lombok Tangkong, the Meliá Bintan, and the Meliá Pekanbaru; Qatar, with the Innside Doha; Vietnam, with the Meliá Ho Tram Meliá; Cabo Verde, with 4 hotels, the Meliá Salamansa and Meliá Lusophony complex; and Tanzania, with the Meliá Serengeti.

The Company also added hotels that open up new markets, such as Kazakhstan, with the Meliá Almaty, Iran with the Gran Meliá Ghoo, and the Maldives, with the Gran Meliá Maldives.

Results in Asia Pacific

Company results in Asia have been positively impacted by the opening of 2 new hotels in 2016 (Meliá Makassar in Indonesia and Meliá Yangon in Myanmar) and reforms and re-brandings made in the region. The effort made to renovate hotels in Asia has paid off and should lead to a quantitative and qualitative improvement in results in the region. Looking ahead, Meliá maintains an ambitious expansion strategy in the region, wi th a pipeline that already includes 21 hotels. By market segment, one highlight is the increased contribution of the MICE segment after integration with the leading online travel agency in China, CTrip, allowing bookings to be made directly with Meliá systems and thereby increasing the number of bookings and allowing an optimization of sales strategies in the region.

AHTIC Conclusion: Sri Lanka brims with potential but success depends on political leadership

The first Asia Hotel & Tourism Investment Conference (AHTIC) concluded today in an atmosphere of optimism moderated by caution. Over the past two days several of Asia’s leading hotel investors from 19 countries discussed the investment potential of Sri Lanka and other destinations around the Indian Ocean from Mauritius and the Seychelles to Malaysia and Vietnam.

Data from ForwardKeys demonstrated that Sri Lanka deserved congratulations for achieving 12% growth in visitor arrivals by air during the past year, more than double that achieved by the Asia Pacific region as a whole. Further information from STR revealed that at the same time, the country’s hotels had maintained occupancy levels above 66% and succeeded in lifting average daily rates to nearly 16,000 Sri Lankan Rupees, more than US$100 at today’s rate.

Several serious investors, including a delegation from China, expressed enthusiasm for opportunities in Sri Lanka, citing its tremendous variety of attractions, such as ancient temples, wild elephants and unspoilt beaches, all within close range of each other. Other attractive attributes of the country were seen to be the good-natured ‘smiley’ demeanour of the people, the safe feeling one had walking the streets, even at night, a shortage of high-quality properties outside Colombo, the willingness of the government to invest in core infrastructure such as new roads and a British based legal system.

The Sri Lankan government, keen to attract international finance, announced a series of tourism development zones and the President promised that the next three years, 2017-19, would be investment years with special concessions to overseas investors; although the precise details have yet to be clarified.

Gerald Lawless, Chairman of the World Travel & Tourism Council and former Executive Chairman of Jumeirah Hotels, highlighted some of the factors that make a destination successful, including the outbreak of peace in regions previously suffering from conflict, air connectivity, visa waivers and dedicated promotional initiatives aimed at major origin markets, infrastructure investment, an ethos which encourages genuine collaboration between business and government and a compelling vision of the future. He cited Sheikh Mohammed, the Ruler of Dubai, as a truly visionary head of state who had transformed that destination into the vibrant tourism economy it is today. Counterbalancing the enthusiasm, Roman Scott, Chairman of the Calamander Group, which invests in Asian frontier markets and owns hotels and coffee shops in Sri Lanka, warned that proposed tax increases, lifting VAT from 11% to 15% and corporation tax to 28% would risk killing the proverbial goose that lays the golden egg. Several other countries bordering the Indian Ocean also offered an attractive proposition for investment. His view, which was shared by several industry leaders, was that Sri Lanka’s performance as a tourism economy would turn on the government’s ability to brand and promote the destination effectively, to prioritise development of infrastructure that facilitates connectivity and to create a fiscal and regulatory regime that guarantees commercial as well as social and environmental sustainability.

Dr. Prabath Ukkwatte, Chairman of the Sri Lanka Tourism Club, which was the Founder sponsor of AHTIC, declared the conference a great success and announced publicly that he had confirmed the venue for the equivalent dates in 2017 and that he was looking forward to working with Jonathan Worsley’s Bench Events’ team to deliver a bigger conference next year.

Business travel, big business for advertisers

How advertisers can effectively target the lucrative business traveller

Singapore - Wego.com, the leading travel search site in the Middle East and Asia Pacific, shares insights into how advertisers can effectively target the increasingly valuable business travel segment.

“Large numbers of corporate travellers are increasingly using Wego to plan business trips,” said Graham Hills, Chief Commercial Officer of Wego. “The thought process for planning business trips differs from holiday travel and we’ve found that many advertisers have found it difficult to know where to start to effectively target this attractive travel segment.”

“There are a variety of business trip types that should be considered for advertisers to ensure their relevance to the business traveller,” said Hills.

The short notice trip - where travel planning and booking is made as required Team travel - for conferences, events or meetings Regular travel - quarterly or monthly business management trips, networking

“The best advertising is targeted and useful to the audience it reaches,” Hills explained. “Generic inspirational messaging won’t work for this type of traveller who has a completely different set of priorities when it comes to travelling than those who travel for leisure.”

“Business travel is a large user segment on Wego,” Hills continued. “For instance, we’ve seen a 16 percent increase in business travel in 2016 on uae.wego.com compared to last year.” “Wego’s travel app suits the business traveller because it provides an instantaneous and mobile platform to plan and book trips, and also suits their unique priorities which includes advanced filtering based on flight arrival times and hotel location map; both extremely pertinent to their travel objectives,” Hills added.

“These priorities are prerequisites for the corporate traveller, whereas holiday travel tends to be a little more flexible and value based.” “We can identify our business travel users by a number of factors including number of passengers, whether search includes children, visit duration and weekday trips,” said Hills.

“Wego offers a blend of first and third party data that is quite unique. Our first party data is richer and more valuable to advertisers as our data targets users who have clear travel intent,” Hills explained. “Pre-trip is when we have access to our largest addressable audience, and post-trip we’re able to re-engage and remarket to these audiences based on their travels.”

“We use a combination of what our search data tells us; destinations, number of passengers, lead booking times, days of travel as well as more complex details through our data management platform (DMP) which digs deeper into age, gender, household income and employment status - even the industry that travellers work in,” said Hills. “Our DMP enables us to learn more about our audience and target more specific and higher converting audiences, and is an integral component of our ad tech stack.”

“As well as speed and convenience for trip planning and booking, business travellers use the Wego travel app while in-trip for the same reasons,” said Hills. “Additional flights and accommodation can be found and booked instantly while you’re on the move. Quite often additional unplanned travel is necessary during a business trip, and another opportunity for advertisers to target this segment.”

HOT | spot DA MARIA BRINGS THE AMALFI COAST TO BALI

Restaurateur Maurice Terzini’s modern Italian restaurant in Osteria style highlights the simplicity of Italian food, wine and great design.

Maurice Terzini and Adrian Reed of Motel Mexicola have joined together to open Da Maria Bali. Friends and collaborators over many years in Sydney and Bali, Maurice and Adrian have enjoyed many dinners in Maurice’s Sydney restuarants together and always aimed to bring the Italo Dining concept to Bali. This idea is now a reality and on Saturday 5th November Da Maria will open its doors.

Da Maria is a modern Italian restaurant in the Osteria style and is the brainchild of Australian Restaurateur, Maurice Terzini. With stunning interiors by Roman architects Lazarini Pickering, Da Maria highlights the diversity of Italian food, wine, music, fashion, art and friends, with more than a little Capri in the heart of Seminyak.

Maurice Terzini is one of the Australia’s most highly regarded creative entrepreneurs, best known for establishing several truly iconic Australian dining venues. Terzini has a gift for dreaming the big picture and executing it, often ahead of his time and breaking ground in ideas, style and locations. It is this standing that he now brings to Da Maria. With spectacular dining destinations in Sydney such as Icebergs Dining Room and Bar (IDRB) and Da Orazio Pizza & Porchetta in Bondi Beach and The Dolphin Hotel in Surry Hills along with influential dining locations such as Caffe e Cucina and Melbourne Wine Room early in his career. Terzini has set a high benchmark for impeccable dining and is now turning his eye to establishing successful dining destinations in Asia.

“Spending my early years on the Adriatic coast in Italy with my Italian parents really cemented in me a love of the culture and heritage and gave me a life-long passion for Italian hospitality,” said Maurice Terzini. “I became particularly inspired by the Italian love of food, sharing meals, entertaining and conversation. I started to evolve that into this philosophy that everything is connected – food, wine, fashion, art, music and friends – they all go into the melting pot to create special places where all the elements come together naturally. I love Bali, especially now that the restaurant and entertainment scene is becoming increasingly sophisticated.” Carl Pickering of Lazarini Pickering Architects focused on a design very reminiscent of a 1960’s Amalfi Coast courtyard with a cooling, fresh blue and white palette and bold geometric styling. The design pays homage to legendary Italian designer Giò Ponti, who created the iconic Sorrento hotel il Parco dei Principi in 1960 - the first "Design Hotel" - where he designed everything, including the magnificent graphic tiles. In Da Maria, Pickering wanted to create a cool, fresh space with air conditioning that also felt like a garden. Terzini is about a contemporary reinterpretation of classical Italian hospitality and the design team’s brief was to create for him a restaurant that represented that idea. Inspired by past images, Da Maria looks very third millennium and resembles no other restaurant in the world.

“Da Maria is our portrait of Maurice Terzini in Bali. ‘Bali Style’ wouldn't have worked for the ideas Maurice had for this restaurant. He wanted to serve very simple, fresh uncomplicated Italian food in a tropical setting,” said Carl Pickering.

“We needed to create a restaurant that reinforced this idea. The typical 60’s Italian courtyard restaurant seemed a perfect reference. We worked on this concept to create a venue that in the end doesn't exactly look like a 60's courtyard restaurant, but a modern interpretation. As in all of our projects, Da Maria has a classical quality to it that won't date. It already feels like it has always been there, that it was the only logical thing to do on that site. A timeless classic.”

The basis behind the design is unpretentious simplicity with the clean European sensibility offset by typically verdant Balinese greenery of rubber trees, cacti and passionfruit vines spiraling down the walls from the Roman Pantheon-inspired skylights that can be either opened or closed. Three fountains are finished with geometric blue and white tiles and sit beneath locally crafted chandeliers that use simple festoon lighting reminiscent of 60's Italian courtyard restaurants.

Bali is full of these lights so Pickering and Terzini wanted to devise something different, deciding on a circular chandelier, in the spirit of the beautiful circular chandeliers they created at IDRB sixteen years ago. The fountain is an Italian and Neapolitan icon but also helps to establish a cool restaurant where the noise of water helps add a refreshing ambiance. There is a very simple fountain in the Santa Chiara cloister in Naples, which came to Pickering and Terzini’s minds when they were designing and with their vision they have recreated the essence of that wonderful part of Italy.

Every element of Da Maria was made in Bali and it was very rewarding for Terzini and Pickering to work with extremely talented local craftspeople, always delivering with a smile. The chairs and tables are an expression of the French fer forgé style with modifications made to prototypes and readily delivered, perfect and on time. Pickering’s presence in Bali before the opening was dedicated to fine tuning with a number of elements being ordered at the last minute and, extraordinarily, ready in a day.

The ceiling of Da Maria is the most incredible design element, with Pickering referring to it as "Bali's Sistine Chapel". Since the most visible element of the restaurant is the ceiling, the team decided to take some Gio Ponti inspired motifs and enlarge and manipulate them to create the very graphic ceiling that ties in the skylights, the divisions between the rooms and the long, slanted wall along the side.

The super-graphic concept was then applied to the other surfaces: where the diagonal Pontiesque lines meet the walls they become stripes. A second graphic was then introduced that resembles the tiles on the bars and fountains. Every aspect has been painstakingly hand-painted by a group of incredible local artists.

Terzini and his team have designed a fun and accessible menu that represents a modern approach to simple, classic Italian flavours, with pizza undoubtedly front and centre. With dough fermented for 24 hours and inspired by special Neapolitan artisan techniques, the pizzas are cooked in local, Naples inspired lava stone ovens. Another spectacular offering is the traditional Italian Porchetta (whole local pig) marinated in local herbs and cooked slowly over coals.

Lighter offerings include appetisers such as Asparagus with anchovy butter and parmesan; Snapper Crudo with tomato, chilli and marjoram and Octopus with overnight beans, red wine vinegar and parsley. From the wood-fired grill comes King Prawns with chilli, black olives and mint and the Abruzzian Arrosticini – traditional lamb skewers with lemon and rosemary salt in share plates for 5, 10 or 15 guests. There are a variety of fresh pasta dishes such as Oreccheitte with spanner crab, zucchini flowers and lemon or Gnocchi pesto alla Genovese. To finish, after a series of desserts such as Bomboloni or the Da Maria Tiramisu, is a house specialty of watermelon served over fresh ice with optional Campari, Lime Sherbert or Chilli Salt. For guests wanting to embark on the Da Maria feasting journey, the La Panarda menu is more of a celebration than a meal and offers groups of diners a selection of dishes to share.

“We are offering traditional Italian food, done correctly, in a modern environment without trying to reinvent the wheel,” said Chef Steven Skelly.

“It’s accessible, fresh and fun and we really enjoy cooking it. You can come every night, bring the kids, bring a date and you can have a party or you can dine alone. We are catering to every demographic, from 8 to 80 and there is no difference between Monday or Saturday. I like to think my kids will eat here and so will my mother.”

The bar at Da Maria has a very Bar Americano feel and focuses on elegant simplicity with most drinks having the flavour profile of Campari or Aperol, blended with white spirits, local fruit and citrus.

Classic Italian favourites such as the Negroni and Spritz are complemented by most of the classics but with an emphasis on the less sweet, aperitif style. Da Maria also makes many of their in-house liqueurs, including their vermouth. The wine list is deliberately contemporary, simple and carefully selected to perfectly suit the style of cuisine. Music plays a very important role at Da Maria with the playlist at Da Maria being mixed by iconic Sydney DJ and event producer, Kali from Picnic. Live DJ’s will be introduced every night after 10.30pm, with house music for holiday people being the musical direction.

There is a European sophistication to the approach and it is reflective of the notion that every day is a Saturday in Bali and that dinner seamlessly morphs into dancing on the tables. The Da Maria website has links to free playlists reflecting what has been happening in the restaurant and these are regularly updated. This first mix to set the tone is here: https://soundcloud.com/picnic-touring/ da-maria-tropical-cool-down-1

Da Maria will collaborate with Adrian Reed from Motel Mexicola to create memorable and unique experiences and events that will feature strongly on the Bali calendar of cool. Terzini has a great history for creating superb events such as his highly sought after New Years Day party at IDRB in Bondi, Sydney.

Da Maria has a carefully curated boutique, reflective of Terzini’s background in fashion. His fashion label with partner Lucy Hinkfuss, Ten Pieces, launched in 2011 and has developed a loyal cult following. The boutique, Da Maria Shop by Ten Pieces, is reflective of the culture of Da Maria, with all the uniforms from Ten Pieces and designs reflective of the super graphic nature of the interiors. Ten Pieces is unisex, comfortable, affordable and adaptable, being great for the gym, but also for a night out. Perfect for the Bali lifestyle.
