Club Med has announced the reopening of Club Med Bali from 28 May, featuring a new repertoire of activities and programmes.

It will include new entertainment line-up, including a digital Colours Show, Magic Tribe show and Nomad Festival-themed day.

Bali is aiming for 115,000 Kiwi visitors in 2019 and operators from the island were helping that along this week when they held functions for the travel trade and meetings and incentive organisers.

It was the wholesalers’ turn to hear about Marriott’s 18 properties in Bali when they were hosted to an Indonesian lunch at Auckland’s Four Points by Sheraton on Wednesday.

Conducting four trade famils in the first week of operation illustrates how importantly Emirates regards its early education of travel agents when it comes to its Auckland – Denpasar (Bali) – Dubai service, says the airline’s regional manager New Zealand, Chris Lethbridge.

Balinese suppliers who attended a destination showcase in Auckland last night say the success of the event showed that it should become a regular fixture n the trade calendar here. 'We'd like to make it an annual event,' says Marten Hubbeling, of DMC Asia Plus.
Hubbeling says the event was timely this year as it coincided with the introduction of Air New Zealand's Dreamliner Boeing 767 on the Auckland - Bali route, a move that has increased capacity by 30% over a season that runs from now through October.
Air New Zealand has reported a strong uptake for the service, matching the growth in seat availability. And airline spokespeople say that while the season may extend further next year, no details are available at this point.
