Steven Howard publisher of TravelNewsAsia.com said "This is the first hotel that we have signed in Indonesia, and we are very proud to be working with such a beautiful property. Indonesia will be a very important market for us, with destinations such as Jogyakarta, Bali, Lombok, Jakarta and Bandung taking a priority. We will over the next few weeks be making every effort to increase the number of hotels that we offer in Indonesia to our viewers. We have taken the long route by working directly with the hotels and not going through a wholesaler, as we feel it is the best long term objective."
