INDONESIAN TOURISM B Destination

5G REQUIREMENTS Year 2017 is challenging for Indonesia Tourism, but the government is still very optimistic it will grow, even they targeted Tourism would contribute 8 percent to national gross domestic product, accounting for Rp 240 trillion and 13 million people working in this sector by 2019 and the government is eyeing 30th position among 141 tourist countries.

President Joko Widodo's administration even has set a target of reaching 20 million foreign tourists and 275 million domestic tourists by 2019.

It is responded by Tourism Ministry office to achieve that target with “Spirit Indonesia Incorporated” It is become one the priority programs in 2017. And Tourism Minister Arief Yahya, has set up another program, 10 New Bali tourist destinations as a priority to be developed in order to be at least as aligned and developed as tourism in Bali. Regional tourism destinations such as Lake Toba (North Sumatra), Belitung (Babel), Tanjung Lesung (Banten), the Thousand Islands (DKI Jakarta), Borobudur (Central Java), Mount Bromo (East Java), Mandalika Lombok (NTB), Komodo Island (NTT), Wakatobi National Park (Southeast Sulawesi), and Morotai (Maluku Utara) with each uniqueness will be put forward on Government’s promotion to prospective tourists, both domestic and foreign. It is really great if those 10 new tourist destinations can be developed as tourism in Bali, but Don’t force it!

BY ARIEF GUNAWAN President & CEO – SEVENFOLD ASIA

said by Arief Gunawan President & CEO SEVENFOLD ASIA. “Better consider whether those destinations have met the 5G requirements yet? We should diagnose them before doing far further.” Arief Gunawan added.

WHAT IS 5G? The destination has to be fulfilled the 5G requirements, here they are; #1. Great Attraction Great Attraction consist of great Nature, great Culture and great Manmade.

We may claim our attraction is the best than the others, wait, it’s not enough! We should continue the 2nd G #2. Great Accessibility Great Accessibility consist of great infrastructure and connectivity by land, air and sea. Does the attraction has great accessibility enough, at least easy to be accessed by land, water or even by air. Even it has been fulfilled, it’s still not enough! #3. Great Facility Great Facility consist of great public facility, accommodation and other support facilities. Remember, when we develop a destination, it’s not only great attraction and great accessibility, we should be well prepared from public services such as public toilet, gas station till personal services such as accommodation and or restaurant.

HOTELIER INDONESIA | 30th | Vol 14 | 2017 | www.hotelier-indonesia.com

#4. Great Value Here we go, is it worthy to go that destination, is it value for money or greater compare to the other greatest destinations? Review it again, if that domestic destination is even more expensive compare to international tourist destination!

Domestic or foreign tourist are easily to access those information in this digital era. Do not only make a local destination comparison but please do compare with international destination too. So prepare the better value for winning the destination! #5. Great Management This is the last G, Great Management!

Even though you have 4Gs, It’s still not completed. We need a professional and expert to handle the tourist destination, who can think and anticipate from A – Z, to avoid and reduce the failure. Not only that, management who can make a proper strategy from operation, finance, marketing, sales and also not less important is great service.

By mean, we need an integrated strategy, not only regulation!

Therefore regulator and industry need hand to hand to make those destinations are happened, branded and well managed till generating revenue!

I can’t help if it’s less even one. 5G is a must! Arief Gunawan added enthusiastically.

Better 5G is fulfilled than we waste a time and finance to work out some area or cities which does not meet 5G requirements.

He shares B Destinations for Indonesia Tourism to help and ease some destination as their references.

“If we want to be better Indonesia Tourism Better Future Outlook, do not diagnose wrongly and or mistreated, it will definitely drive you in wrong direction and it will only be rhetoric every year strategy!” he added.

WHY B? After analysing the 10 New Bali destinations and doing some matrix for the top Indonesia Tourist destinations, SEVENFOLD Asia introduced B Destinations instead, by fact that all B Destinations start with letter B are better and greater than other destination, here we are; Banda Aceh, Brastagi, Bukit Tinggi, Batam Bintan, Bangka Belitung, Bengkulu, Bandar Lampung, Banten, Bandung, Bogor, Borobudur, Bromo, Banyuwangi, Bali, Bajo, Balikpapan, Banjarmasin, Bunaken, Baliem and Biak.

OUTLOOK The good news is President Joko Widodo knows 5G is very important for Indonesia, he has started to repair and develop better National ‘Connection’ Accessibility!

The air connectivity and land bridge are very important and crucial.

Beside letter B, he added letter J as special city destinations which are Jakarta and Jogjakarta. Those destinations are hot destinations and worthy as investment destinations too!

Should there be any other destinations look like top destinations, they have to use B & J Destination as the selling and entry point.

BALI IS STILL THE HIGHEST RANK & SCORE TOURIST DESTINATION From 20 B and 2 J Destinations, Bali is still the highest rank & score Indonesia Tourism Destinations. Followed by Bandung, Batam Bintan, Borobudur and Bogor.

If the Tourism Ministry would develop 10 New Bali Destinations, they should make a different approach or consider to diagnose and or should be fulfilled 5G requirements. Even Bali took more than 30% foreign tourist share whose visit to Indonesia archipelago. In his last statement,

And it is the right time to review those countries whose have visa-free entry for tourist from 30 countries before to set the next branding and promotion.

However Indonesia archipelago remains one of Asia’s popular tourist destinations and provides some accommodations with significant opportunities for growth. Assuming a six percent compounded annual growth rate, domestic and international visitor arrivals is projected to increase to 600 million by 2022.

B+J Destinations as above mentioned should prepare all facilities including accommodation.

Historically, many of the economy and midscale hotel categories catered to the rapidly growing domestic markets.

There are less on the upscale or luxury hotels. The influx of budget airlines in Asia and within Indonesia, have enhanced connectivity and affordability of travels.

Bolstered by a healthy economic outlook, the hospitality and tourism industry of Indonesia is expected to experience a period of sustainable growth and opportunities for investors too.

KARMA GROUP TO OPEN A STUNNING NEW RESORT ON THE GREEK ISLAND OF CRETE Happy is the man, I thought, who, before dying, has the good fortune to sail the Aegean Sea.” Nikos Kazantzakis, Zorba the Greek Karma Group have announced the acquisition of a new property just outside the gorgeous historical town of Agios Nikolaos, on the Greek island of Crete.

Located only 5kms from the town, Karma’s captivating new address is nestled between rugged mountains and the sea. Karma Minoan will be comprised of a selection of hotel apartments and one and two bedroom suites along with pool, bar, restaurant, library, spa and kids club. Each of the property’s 26 holiday apartments offer panoramic views of Mirabello Bay, Agios Nikolaos and the surrounding mountains. Guests will be able to spend their days lounging by the large swimming pool, or strolling down to Amoudara Beach to dive into the waters of the Aegean Sea. “I am delighted to announce the acquisition of our newest resort, KARMA MINOAN, on the beautiful Greek island of Crete,” said John Spence, Founder and Chairman of Karma Group.

“We will be renovating and refurbishing the property to bring it up to our high standards and expect to have it open for next high season. I personally love the island and think it offers one of the best tourist experiences in the Mediterranean with its incredible and well priced food and wine, friendly, hospitable people, long sunny season and a wealth of historical, cultural, sporting and family attractions.”

The resort is named after the Minoan civilisation, rulers of the island three and a half thousand years ago. The Minoans left many magnificent palaces and ruins and walking the streets of Agios Nikolaos is like stepping back in time. Settled since the Bronze Age, the town has long offered safe harbour for sailors, and now the 255 berth marina is one of Crete’s most impressive and well provisioned. Visitors can relax in the cool shade of one of the many local tavernas serving authentic Cretan cuisine – the flavours of which embody a lineage as old as Arabia and the Ottoman Empire – in between exploring more contemporary cuisine at one of the many upmarket fine dining restaurants in the town.j www.karmagroup.com

MAJOR HOSPITALITY POWERHOUSES

REVEAL KEY TRENDS

at Annual Boutique Hotel Investment Conference (BLLA) 2017

HOTELIER INDONESIA | 30th | Vol 14 | 2017 | www.hotelier-indonesia.com

Executives from Leading Hotels of the World, Equinox Hotels, Sixty Hotels, PENDRY, West Elm Hotels, Arianna Huffington and More, Converge in New York to Talk Boutique Hospitality New York, June 9 – Boutique & Lifestyle Lodging Association (BLLA) successfully closed its 2017 Annual Boutique Hotel Investment Conference in New York, June 7, with some of the most influential hospitality powerhouses in the game. Worldwide hotel luminaries, executives and developers gathered at the Times Center in the heart of New York, to discuss major hospitality trends and provide an in-depth analysis of the ever-developing industry.

Over 45 speakers and panelists discussed the latest in the world of boutique, spanning food & beverage, design, investment and development, market share and influence, to reveal key industry trends and forecasts for the remainder of 2017 and heading into 2018. At the helm of the conference was Frances Kiradjian, CEO and Founder of BLLA, who paved the way for some of the most innovative powerhouses to share key insight into the industry.

Here’s a look: “STAY BOUTIQUE”: BLLA announces new online platform for the boutique industry Stay Boutique will be the industry’s first authentic list of real boutique and lifestyle hotels, as well as a direct booking to all BLLA member hotels, worldwide.

Defined as a “hub for innovators, leaders and those who believe in the power of boutique”, the Stay Boutique platform will launch this fall and reveal the true world of boutique.

INSTAGRAMMABLE MOMENTS: The importance of creating an “Instagrammable” business model “Social media is one of the best things we can use as a tool, to promote whatever we are selling” - Co-Founder Mark Birnbaum, EMM Group Gone are the days of traditional online reviews – we now turn to social media as a way to look for what we want to eat, experience and explore.

Creating instagrammable moments for businesses through design is paramount in order to stay relevant.

These moments act organically as a daily and continuous type of online “review”, to help drive business and advertise products. Birnbaum uses the ‘instagrammable cake’ sold at Catch, as an example of how “items exist solely for the reason of social sharing”.

ENGAGING THE RIGHT MARKET: Who and what social media influencers to target “It’s not all about the followers” Co-Owner Lisle Richards, The Metric.

“Peer-to-peer advertising is very important…being able to sell something organically is key” - Co-Founder Mark Birnbaum, EMM Group Hotspot guru’s Richards and Birnbaum discuss how Gen Z and millennials are truly influencing ROI. Being able to identify influencers that engage with the right market, is a key element to drive real business for hotels.

Target the small, niche influencers that have successful peer-to-peer advertising; hosting an influencer with 30K followers from your local / target markets is more valuable than someone with 500K followers from an off-market.

“FOOD + VIBE”: What’s hot in the world of F&B “Night clubs and stand-alone lounge business are no longer as popular – our focus is on ‘food & vibe’ business; places where you can eat and get a little action” - Co-Founder Mark Birnbaum, EMM Group Out with traditional night club – in with “food and vibe”. The world of food and beverage explores offering a seamless transition from experiential dining, to a true form of night life.

Businesses are integrating a sense of vibe so their space of F&B can appeal to all audiences at the same time; offering a separate lounge area, live entertainment, private rooms. Gone are the days of restaurants turning into night clubs after 9pm.

INFUSING THE LOCAL MARKET: Using local talent to create an authentic guest experience and compete with disruptors like Airbnb “Success for us is how well we connect with the community and neighborhood” – Founder & CEO Sharan Pasricha, Ennismore “We have no formal spaces…it’s more of an Airbnb experience…and [we are] stealing a lot of Airbnb customers” - Co-Founder Chris Pardo,

Arrive Hotels Businesses need to create a “home-away-from-home” identity and infuse the local market through design, F&B and amenities, to appeal to competitive market customers, like Airbnb. Offer a true authentic, local experience that captures the evergrowing number of experience-based travelers. Make hotels approachable and be inspired by the local neighborhood to create a true local destination.

GENTRIFIED NEIGHBORHOODS TO WEST HOLLYWOOD: Hot markets for development “Emerging neighborhoods are where it’s at - make the buzz and own the space” – Co-Founder Michael Fuerstman, Pendry Hotels Investors are turning away from built-up cities like New York (that currently have over 30 hotel properties on the market, with no strong buyers), and building hotels in emerging neighborhoods.

Boutique developers are also entering markets that are slowly undergoing gentrification.

West Hollywood also proved a hot destination of the day, with boutique properties in the works like EDITION, Pendry and more to “elevate West Hollywood as a destination” (Fuerstman).

The Walking Dread:

Why Indonesian hotels need an

overbooking strategy Written by: Tracy Dong, Lead Advisor, APAC, IDeaS Revenue Solutions

No Hotel In Indonesia Likes Having To Walk A Guest Due To An Overbooking Situation – Just Ask Any Front Desk Manager Who Has To Deal With Irate Customers When They Have Been Informed The Room They Booked Is Not Available, And They Have To Be Relocated.

48

HOTELIER INDONESIA | 30th | Vol 14 | 2017 | www.hotelier-indonesia.com

What is the expected transient wash for each market segment?

What are the booking windows for transient business? Hotels could use revenue management systems to analyse booking pace by market segment at various days to arrival.

When is the hotel’s group cut-off and how well are group blocks managed?

Is the hotel consistently managing groups by days-to-arrival and adjusting overbooking accordingly?

Walking a paying guest can be hard and unpleasant, so why do hotels need to overbook in the first place?

Consider this all-too-common scenario: A high-profile international trade fair is occurring in your city and your hotel has been sold out for more than two weeks. There’s not a single room left within a 10-kilometre radius.

Your forecasted revenue numbers for the week are significantly outperforming the actual bookings from the same period the year before. However, as the morning reports rolled in, your hotel only finished at 96% occupancy opening day which led to a revenue underperformance compared to your forecast. Rather than trying to figure out who’s to blame for this situation, hoteliers should instead see the situation as an opportunity to enhance the property’s systems and technology and rethink their overbooking strategy.

From a revenue management point of view, to maximise occupancy and revenue during peak demand dates, overbooking can be a necessary evil driven by several internal and external factors.

Internal Factors: No-Show: Paying guests may turn out as a no-show on the arrival day due to various reasons, which leads to empty rooms at a hotel Cancellation/Wash: Prior to arrival day, hotels typically have cancellations from transient bookings or group wash. If hotels are not able to pick up bookings to compensate cancellations or wash, it will impact on hotel revenues

Extension/Contraction: Besides no-shows and cancellations, revenue managers should track in-house guests’ extensions, especially for hotels with a high portion of longstay guests.

Although in-house guests’ extensions are subject to availability, it has to be taken in consideration when setting up overbooking scenarios External factors: If a hotel has a sister property to relocate their walked guests to based on a pre-negotiated rate, then they can be a lot more flexible with their overbooking strategy.

However, if a hotel has to relocate guests to a non-affiliated or competitor hotel, then management has to be very careful. The overbooking risks in this situation are compounded when the market demand is high, such as during a major event and guest relocation price, or ‘cost of walk,’ is prohibitively expensive.

The practice of overbooking weaves art into science to calculate risks against their rewards, and today’s advanced revenue management systems help hoteliers analyse and produce decisions for a customised overbooking strategy.

Below are some considerations and insights hotel revenue management systems can provide to maximise strategic overbooking opportunities: How is the hotel’s room type overbooking strategy established?

Are they deploying room type overbooking strategies only when they’re expected to sell out? Deploying room type overbooking strategies over nonsold-out periods can be an effective way to maximise property yield in both need and busy periods.

Is the hotel’s room type overbooking strategy static all year long, or is it deploying different strategies by dayof-week or season?

Hoteliers need to understand overbooking is a long-term strategy that requires constant review. By analysing overbooking numbers months in advance, hotels can better compensate for expected group wash with high-paying transient guests.

Consider a hotel that only overbooks their base room type all year long.

Assume this hotel has a significant rainy season and struggles to find business to fill their weekends. However, during this period, they do remain consistently busy with corporate travel during the week.

How can they adjust their overbooking strategy to accommodate for this distinct day-of-week need?

Perhaps their base room type is open for generous overbooking on the weekends (keeping their hotel as competitively priced as possible), but a conservative strategy is employed during the weekdays to encourage bookings into upgraded room types.

If the new strategy helps a hotel book just five upgraded room types every weekday at a $75 upcharge,

they’ve pulled in over an additional $80k in annual revenue by selling the same amount of rooms. And at the end of the day, it’s critical that hoteliers focus on their net maximum revenue.

The aggressiveness of any overbooking strategy needs to be balanced with an understanding that net revenue for a night can be impacted by high or frequent walking of guests.

Sometimes, it may be a better net revenue result to be one or two rooms short of a sell-out than to pay for a number of replacement rooms in another hotel for previously booked guests.

It’s also extremely important to evaluate how well the hotel’s front desk handles guest recovery.

One of the greatest opportunities afforded to any front desk is the ability to take a guest problem (such as being walked to another hotel) and convert it into guest loyalty.

To do this, though, hoteliers need to ensure that hotel staff are properly supported and trained to accommodate walking guests. Guest recovery in ‘walking’ situations should also be supported by amenities; complimentary room upgrades or no-walk / VIP statuses for future reservations.

In today’s world, it’s not enough to book a reservation for every room a hotel has to sell – and not overbooking can result in lost revenue and missed occupancy at the property’s highest price-point where profits can be maximised.

When overbooking is established strategically through analytics, hotels can better understand the wash and cancellation patterns of their market segments. This means hotels can then plan ahead to overbook with exceptional revenue results. ***

HOT TALKS HOTEL INTEL

WITH TRAVELIKO Why Traveliko?

Traveliko is a new generation OTA. It was built from the ground up for today’s savvy travelers who want more choices, more information, more authentic experiences, and above all, a fair deal. This “Underdog OTA” was conceived by veteran hoteliers who saw their profits squeezed due to the high commissions paid to the dominant OTAs. This ultimately had an impact on quality. They wanted to give power back to the hotels so they, in turn, could increase the overall satisfaction of their customers.

Traveliko’s bigger picture goal is to get engaged with and improve the environment and the quality of life of those in need through charitable projects. This fits well with the aspirations of today’s socially conscious travelers.

How is all this done?

Traveliko is a little secretive about its special sauce and what exactly they’ve been doing for the last three years while developing their product. Hotel Intel persuaded them to talk about the industry and the opportunities it presents, as well as how travellers today should expect better service from hotels and how they can help improve that service at the same time.

56

HOTELIER INDONESIA | 30th | Vol 14 | 2017 | www.hotelier-indonesia.com

Hotel Intel: How do you plan to win this game? How can you offer cheaper rates / better deals for customers than the other OTAs? Traveliko: We didn’t start Traveliko to win the game. We have been in the hotel industry for more than a decade and we have seen first-hand how it has become stuck in a rut. We simply wanted to create another option for ourselves, our fellow hoteliers and for travellers.

Many refer to the relationship between the OTAs and the hotels as an “ongoing war” but we believe Online Travel Agents (OTAs) have been instrumental in taking the hospitality industry to the next level and into the 21st century.

Traveliko is the next generation of that work and a natural evolution for the hotel industry.

There have been many lessons learned over the last 20 years as hotels have developed a closer relationship with OTAs. Responding to those lessons, as well as new demands from a new generation of tech savvy travelers, is at the core of Traveliko.

It is not about cheaper rates.

Everyone in the industry knows that rate parity practice demands that all distribution partners get the same rate.

This is a very complex issue, but to summarize briefly: if you see a room cheaper on one OTA, it’s either because the hotel is running a special promotion for the OTA’s “members”, or because there are some discrepancies in how the price is being displayed – without taxes for example, or by playing with exchange rate fluctuations.

There are also situations that arise where certain OTAs decide to take less profit and undercut the market in order to appear cheaper.

Those issues have been creating a lot of tension between hotels and their distribution partners, it is becoming more and more difficult for hotels to stay in control.

Traveliko charges lower commissions, but we also encourage hotels to offer our customers added value via our platform that directly benefit travellers but stay inline with profit margins. In other words, Traveliko provides a framework for hoteliers to create a better experience which offers a feedback loop, in the form of analytics, back to the hotels.

HOTELIER INDONESIA | 30th | Vol 14 | 2017 | www.hotelier-indonesia.com

HOT TALKS HOTEL INTEL WITH TRAVELIKO

Hotel Intel: Apart from 10% commission and giving back to society, what other incentives are there for hotels that want to work with you?

Traveliko: The 10% commission rate is by far the main reason hotels want to work with us. But, we also believe in creating a synergistic relationship with our hotel customers. We do not spend our marketing budget on Google Ad words, for example, to bid against our customers on their own keywords.

We believe that to be predatory. Instead, we use analytics and metrics to understand their customers better, and we have worked closely with large hotel chains in Southeast Asia to find out what they actually want from a new OTA in terms of features and services. The two most requested features that came up were 1. better insights into customers and their behavior and 2. different ways to sell their inventory and supplementary products such as packages, Spa, F&B and Activities.

We have listened, and we think the hotels are going to be very excited when they get to play with our new tools.

That’s all we can say about this for now.

Hotel Intel: For end customers, why would they book with Traveliko?

Traveliko: Firstly, we offer a more personal and empowering experience. Surprisingly few customers are aware that the hotels they see on the first page of a search, when using one of the big OTAs, are not necessarily the hotels that would fit them best. They are simply hotels that are commercially more interesting and likely more profitable to the OTA. Traveliko breaks that paradigm by providing a non-partial map display with all the hotels equally visible but with the right kind of customized filters.

Traveliko is all about showing you what fits you best. We focus on how travelers like to travel and we suggest them hotels that fit their existing lifestyles. This gives travelers the best choice and they will be overall happier with the hotel they stay with. We have also created a loyalty program that encourage traveler to engage with us and hotels more.

The main point is that we feel strongly about the charitable aspects that Traveliko represents and we have pledged to donate 20% of the net commission we earn for each booking to charitable organizations.

In practice, the users will be allocating our donation to the cause of their choice – Animal , People or Planet – at the end of the booking process. Everyone in Traveliko has worked hands-on with some form of charity, whether helping build a house, painting an orphanage, or making a playground for underprivileged kids.

The feeling of helping others is priceless, and we want to recreate that feeling for travellers. To that end, Traveliko partners with local grassroots organizations and NGOs in those places where we operate to offer projects we can commit to and report back on to our customers.

What Traveliko is not: We are not affiliated to any existing OTA We are not a niche OTA focusing on any specific market or inventory type Hotelintel: What's your marketing plan to this to kick this all off?

We cannot and do not want to compete against our giant online competitors who have very large budgets to spend on Google Ads and other search engines on a yearly basis.

Traveliko aims to disrupt the online booking industry by becoming a bespoke online travel agent through offering better services using our new technology platform, our rewards and referral program, by word-of-mouth, through social media, and through genuine PR activities. Our brand pillars carry our marketing message and we intend to change the travel industry in a similar way.

Organic farming and product awareness are already changing the food industry. People eat better. We want to create an opportunity for people to travel and stay better. Ms. Natalie Glebova, a former Miss Universe, is Traveliko’s Brand Ambassador and she is already helping us share those key messages with travellers, hotels and the media.

From small but genuine beginnings we are working hard to become a respected and viable alternative. Once customers try Traveliko for the first time, they will know what we mean and there will be no reason for them to book with other OTAs.

REBEL BEACH CLUB LE PIRATE JUMPS INTO BED WITH GEN-Z TRAVELLERS AS IT TARGETS 20 PROPERTIES BY 2020 WITHIN AND BEYOND INDONESIA With three clubs already open in Greater Bali the brand takes to the sea with Explorer Cruises JAKARTA, INDONESIA – Indonesia’s rebel beach club brand Le Pirate has announced plans to expand its footprint within the country and throughout Asia. In the span of three short years the father son team of Fredo and Louka Taffin has created a blueprint for fast-paced growth with their social beach club and hotel concept.

Long-time Bali design guru Fredo Taffin came up with the idea for Le Pirate after facing the challenge of building resort hotels in remote tropical locations.

His concept was to appealing distill accommodation options into eco-friendly, pre-fab bungalows that are fast and cost efficient to build but do not destroy the islands’ beaches.

HOTELIER INDONESIA | 30th | Vol 14 | 2017 | www.hotelier-indonesia.com

HOT | BUSINESS

Taffin teamed up with his millennial son Louka, who has already become a successful hospitality entrepreneur at the age 27. Both of them hated the way resorts were all about welcome drinks, grim soulless buffets, and designed to put guests in a virtual lock-down, keeping them away from each other.

Louka explains, “traditional hoteliers are obsessed by guest rooms and forget that hospitality from its earliest roots in pub hotels, is all about meeting people, going local and not just about the four walls you sleep in. At Le Pirate we don’t want heads on beds, we want bums at the beach club, travellers who have a pulse and aren’t afraid to use it.”

Today, the brand’s pathway to expansion is clearly its points of difference – being able to pre-fabricate beach club hotels and assemble them on-site complete with fit-out in under six months from start to finish. Investors often have to wait a decade to generate a good return, with a typical Le Pirate project; it is two to three years.

From the onset, Le Pirate’s first beach club hotel in Nusa Ceningan, off the coast of Bali, gathered a strong reputation with he social media and smartphone set. Images, YouTube videos and chats on Facebook, Twitter and beyond have been a strong driver of direct bookings.

62

Further momentum came with the opening of a larger property in Gili Trawangan and most recently in the buzzing destination of Labuan Bajo in Flores.

As for the shift into floating beach club cruisers, tagged as Explorer, Louka says, “we wanted to take one of Indonesia’s key attributes, the spectacular ocean and numerous islands, and make them more accessible in a fun, in an authentic and natural way. No pretentions here, its bums on boats, and the more the merrier.”

Looking to expansion, Fredo and Louka have teamed up with hospitality expert Bill Barnett, Founder of Asia-based C9 Hotelworks, to grow the model into one that is now pushing outside Indonesia.

With Le Pirate International established in Singapore, the team is working on pushing out licensing and branding model and engaging developers who want to enter the hotel business, but who don’t know where or how to start.

The “hotel in a box” concept covers design, training, fitout, as well as management systems that don’t take a rocket scientist to run.

HOTELIER INDONESIA | 30th | Vol 14 | 2017 | www.hotelier-indonesia.com

Currently the development pipeline is focused on the Philippines, with its enormous 7,107 islands, and also in burgeoning destinations like Sri Lanka and Myanmar.

Fredo comments, “wherever beach bums are headed, we will be there with our beach clubs, boats and an ability to innovate in emerging locations such as remote islands. Travellers at any age still have those childhood dreams of being a pirate, and our clubs and cruises are meant to bring back the thrills, chills and adventure of getting outside those four same hotel walls. We aren’t just hitting the millennial market. We are keen to build a brand that will also fit Gen-Z.”

“

FREDO ADDS, “WE ARE BREAKING DOWN THE WALLS OF HOTEL OWNERSHIP THAT USED TO BE MEASURED IN DOG YEARS BUT HAVE NOW BEEN BE ACCELERATED INTO REAL TIME.”
