Dear Valued Readers,
In this issue, With its rare wildlife such as the Billiton Tarsier and the ancient Pelepak Tree, the reserve reminds us of the importance of sustainability in hospitality and how nature and culture can co-exist harmoniously to define a destination’s soul.
We’re also excited to spotlight Nakula’s expansion, which adds 7 new family-friendly villa properties to its growing portfolio—catering to the rising demand for multi-generational travel and private, spacious stays.
From eco-conscious getaways to the culinary scene, our feature on Bartolo in Uluwatu shows how a “slice of Europe” in Bali is making waves across the Asia-Pacific dining community with its refined yet authentic concept. Technology also plays a starring role this edition. We cover the new integration between IDeaS and SORASO by Smart Finder, helping Southeast Asian hoteliers elevate revenue strategies with data-driven insights and smart forecasting. In the events space, we’re thrilled to preview key upcoming expos and trade shows: Seafood Expo Asia, a vital platform for the seafood and F&B industry;
