AJANI RAHADIANY IS MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS EXECUTIVE AT THE WESTIN RESORT

Bali, 15 November 2004 – Tabatha Ramsay, Director of Sales and Marketing of The Westin Resort, Nusa Dua, Bali, confirms Ajani Kusuma Rahadiany to the position of Marketing Communications Executive. Rahadiany who has been with the resort since May this year, looks after the resort’s various joint promotions ventures and corporate relations in order to enhance market visibility of the Westin brand.

Awarded the title of Bachelor of Public Relations in 1997, Rahadiany developed communications skills in various positions in Hard Rock Hotel Bali, Hotel Atlet Century Park Jakarta, City Surf Bali and most recently Paradise Plaza Hotel and Suites Bali. Rahadiany is active within the industry, holding the vice president position of Bali Hotel Public Relations Association with members from more than thirty star-rated hotels in Bali.

“We are delighted to have Rahadiany in our team,” restated Ramsay, “particularly, when the re-branding of The Westin Resort is expected to bring us closer to our target market as Indonesia remains important in the brand’s presence in South East Asia.”

Based in the property, Rahadiany embarks on the upcoming project of raising funds for UNICEF Challenge for the Children which is marked by a drawing competition this coming Sunday 28 November 2004. Partners from book distributor giant Gramedia, Nestle and Golden Bird transportation group are already pitching in to support the programme.
