Exotissimo Adds Indonesia to its Destination Portfolio in Southeast Asia

Bangkok, Thailand, 3 February 2010

New Exotissimo Indonesia office in Bali opened for business.

Exotissimo Travel, a leading destination management company in Southeast Asia, is delighted to announce the launch of Indonesia as its latest destination.

Located in Denpasar, Bali, Exotissimo Indonesia had a soft opening last October and is now fully operational. Exotissimo Indonesia has a wealth of experience as the company was formed by taking over Maniara Tours, a well respected Balinese travel company established in 1987.

“The establishment of Exotissimo Indonesia signifies our continual commitment and passion for the region,” said Olivier Colomès, Group Managing Director. “The selection of Bali to locate our Indonesia office is a strategic choice. Bali enjoys high connectivity to many other Asian destinations and makes a great springboard for travels into other parts of Indonesia.”

He continued, “We will continue to offer a high standard of client-oriented service, focusing on innovative products and travel experiences in Indonesia. With the opening of our Indonesia office, Exotissimo now offers even more multi-country touring options in Southeast Asia.”

Heading the Exotissimo Indonesia team as the General Manager is Erik Meriot, a seasoned travel industry expert who was previously the General Manager of Exotissimo Myanmar for four years and the Director of the Paris sales office for the last six years. Erik will work alongside Trisna Agustini, Managing Director, who will be responsible for coordinating business development efforts.

Erik is excited about the vast travel potential presented by Indonesia saying, “Indonesia’s geographic size and cultural diversity represent lots of undiscovered travel opportunities. Having conducted many research and inspection trips in Indonesia, we are eager to show our clients the different travel experiences that can be had in this amazing country.”
