Cempaka Culture and Tourism: Hotels gear up for tourist influx during festive season

“… The Shift in Human Nature

You're starting to see integrity change. Awareness recalibrates integrity, and the Human Being who would sit there and take advantage of another Human Being in an old energy would never do it in a new energy. The reason? It will become intuitive, so this is a shift in Human Nature as well, for in the past you have assumed that people take advantage of people first and integrity comes later. That's just ordinary Human nature.

In the past, Human nature expressed within governments worked like this: If you were stronger than the other one, you simply conquered them. If you were strong, it was an invitation to conquer. If you were weak, it was an invitation to be conquered. No one even thought about it. It was the way of things. The bigger you could have your armies, the better they would do when you sent them out to conquer. That's not how you think today. Did you notice?

Any country that thinks this way today will not survive, for humanity has discovered that the world goes far better by putting things together instead of tearing them apart. The new energy puts the weak and strong together in ways that make sense and that have integrity. Take a look at what happened to some of the businesses in this great land (USA). Up to 30 years ago, when you started realizing some of them didn't have integrity, you eliminated them. What happened to the tobacco companies when you realized they were knowingly addicting your children? Today, they still sell their products to less-aware countries, but that will also change.

What did you do a few years ago when you realized that your bankers were actually selling you homes that they knew you couldn't pay for later? They were walking away, smiling greedily, not thinking about the heartbreak that was to follow when a life's dream would be lost. Dear American, you are in a recession. However, this is like when you prune a tree and cut back the branches. When the tree grows back, you've got control and the branches will grow bigger and stronger than they were before, without the greed factor. Then, if you don't like the way it grows back, you'll prune it again! I tell you this because awareness is now in control of big money. It's right before your eyes, what you're doing. But fear often rules. …”

Hotels gear up for tourist influx during festive season

Hotels around the most popular sites across Bali are preparing for an increasing influx of tourists planning to spend their Christmas and New Year's Eve holidays on the island.

Patra Bali Resort and Villas, located in Kuta, are almost fully booked for the festive season, reservation manager Tami Rahani told The Jakarta Post at the weekend.Some hotels have already experienced a surge in reservations from foreign and domestic tourists.

"Ninety percent of our 206 rooms and 22 villas have been booked for the last week of December until the first week of January, mostly by Australians. There are also some Japanese, European, and domestic tourists," Tami said.

She said that most of the reservations were made through travel agencies working in cooperation with the hotel, while the rest were made by the customers.

The Intercontinental Resort in Jimbaran is also preparing for the upcoming peak season.

"Most of our rooms are already reserved for the Christmas and New Year's Eve, but we're still expecting more guests. At least we still have more than a month ahead," said the resort's public relations director, Dewi Anggraini.

"We are also preparing some events for the New Year's Eve celebration," she added.

Westin Resort in Nusa Dua has half of its 342 rooms reserved for the year-end holiday. Most of the guests booked the rooms for between five nights to two weeks.

"We are expecting more reservations by mid November," said public relations director Renata Tjoa.

Renata said the resort would hold a special event titled Nusantara on New Year's Eve, presenting dances and cultural performances from across Indonesia.

Ratna Eka Soebrata, acting chairperson of the Bali and Nusa Tenggara branch of the Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA), said the last week of the year until early January was always the busiest time for hotels and tourist operators, which usually saw hotels overbooked.

"European tourists usually reserve one year ahead," she said, adding that Europeans, especially the Dutch, were among the most frequent visitors to Bali besides Australians.

Not only are foreign tourists interested in spending their New Year holiday in Bali, domestic tourists from Java also flock to the island, driving their private cars and creating congestion in some main tourist sites.
