A contigent of GMs from Alila Hotels & Resorts in Bali are on a whirlwind sales call blitz through the Australian east-coast this week, meeting with trade partners and promoting the Uluwatu and Soori properties. Alila is made up of nine luxury properties in Jakarta, Siem Reap, Goa, Bangalore and four in Bali. Priced from between $500-$640 per night, the 5-star Alila Villas Uluwatu’s gm Sean Brennan says the group has “carved out a niche of its own” in Bali since its recent debut, “among good company”. “We’re the newest on the block and we’re fighting for market share, but we are getting there.” Brennan said the number of Aussies visiting Bali was “booming” leading to this market moving up from 5th to 2nd place in terms of room nights sold at Uluwatu. GM of Alila Villas Soori Marco Groten said the Australian market has“huge potential” at his hotel, located among rice pattie fields and on a pristine 2km beach. “Soori offers guests a chance to experience the old Bali in a modern way,” Groten told TD. Pictured at an event for some of Alila’s top Aussie agencies last night, from left are, Alila’s Sean Brennan, Brenda Nash, director of sales Australia/NZ; Dayu Susani, assistant director of sales Aust./America and Marco Groten.
