a spa. With the Arion Swiss-Belhotel Kemang, Swiss-Belhotel now

According to preliminary figures released by the Pacific Asia
Travel Association, international visitor arrivals into Asia and
the Pacific have shown a year-on-year increase of 5% for the
first quarter of 2011. This is driven by the strong performance
for South and Southeast Asia, which grew by 13% and 10% in terms
of visitor arrivals for the quarter, respectively. However, the
earthquake and tsunami disaster in Japan has inevitably affected
its inbound and outbound travel flows, with neighbouring
destinations including China, Hong Kong and South Korea
recording subsequent declines in the number of Japanese visitors
for the first quarter of the year. |
