The Group recognizes that in addition, hotel development has a very positive impact on local employment and economic development which is critical in developing nations such as Indonesia.

Swiss-Belhotel International first opened in Indonesia in 1990 with hotels in Jakarta and Semarang developed by the Ciputra group. This represents an over 20 year involvement in Indonesia and Swiss-Belhotel International further enhanced its commitment to Indonesia when it opened a regional office in Jakarta in the late 1990’s.

Vice President Emmanuel Guillard explained that Swiss-Belhotel International with twenty-seven hotels and projects in Indonesia, reflects the strong economic growth and huge potential of Indonesia. With the award recognition by Indonesia Tourism and Travel, Swiss-Belhotel International is confirmed as one of the leading international hotel operators in Indonesia. This is a further reinforcement of the global and local recognition of Swiss-Belhotel International and its standards and professional services, a true reflection of their “Passion and Professionalism” philosophy.

Elated with the ITTA’s recognition of the Group, Gavin M. Faull stated that, “Our growth in Indonesia manifests the commitment of Swiss-Belhotel International to contribute to the country’s growth and development. Swiss-Belhotel operates hotels not only in the big cities but also in smaller, remote areas. Swiss-Belhotel International has been able to share and contribute to the economic growth of Indonesia through involvement in the economies of over 20 cities and regions of Indonesia of which we are very proud.”

“After twenty years and twenty-seven properties in Indonesia and over sixty hotels and projects worldwide, as a Group we will continue to develop our Indonesia operations as well as continue our global growth focused on the Pacific, China, Asia, Central Asia and the Middle East. Along with Indonesia, these are the areas that are recognized as the key growth areas in global tourism” Faull added.
