On a balmy evening in Bali, a total of over 110 guests graced the beachfront of the Grand Nikko Bali, Indonesia to add sizzle to the Awards Presentation Ceremony of the Hospitality Asia Platinum Awards 2012–2014 (HAPA) Indonesia Series. There were 12 major awards up for grabs, recognizing deserving individuals and establishments in the hospitality industry. This first ever HAPA Indonesia Series already marks a milestone for HAPA as this is the fi rst time a HAPA Awards Presentation Ceremony is held by the beach. Themed Black and White, guests dressed their beachfront best to add casual elegance to the ceremony, beautifully silhouetted by nature.
Organized by World Asia Publishing (WAP) and managed by World Asia Events (WAE), HAPA was launched 12 years ago with the primary objective of recognizing and rewarding deserving individuals and establishments who continuously strive towards excellence in the hospitality industry. The HAPA brand has now gained recognition in Indonesia and the organizers hope to soon include Thailand as a local and regional awards destination.
A total of 24 judges reviewed 48 outstanding nominees which included properties from Jakarta, Bandung, Bali, Surabaya and Jogjakarta. The event was made possible not just by the organizing team at WAP and WAE, but also with the support of our esteemed sponsors, which include PT Batraco, Golden Bird, Moderne Pte Ltd, VingCard Elsafe, Diageo and Dimatique as well as endorsements by some of the best professional bodies in Indonesia; namely Indonesia Spa Association DPD DKI Jakarta, Les Cles d’Or Indonesia, Indonesia Club Manager Association, Bali Spa & Wellness Association and the Jakarta International Hotels Association. Grand Nikko Bali played host and provided the beautiful beach venue for the awards ceremony.
Every year, HAPA selects a CSR component via a charity foundation and this year, Widhya Asih 1 Denpasar Orphanage which cares and provides for 27 children of different backgrounds was chosen as the recipient of our CSR programme. World Asia Publishing would again like to extend its sincerest gratitude and appreciation to the Panel of Judges, whose integrity and generosity were pivotal in making the awards a success, the generous sponsors, professional hospitality associations, supporters and players in the industry for not just making HAPA Indonesia a success, but for making HAPA an Awards Ceremony to look forward to year after year. Till the next HAPA series, keep the HAPA spirit going!
