Gili Sunut smiles in the rain

While the rainy season is living up to its reputatin, the island is looking very tropical. The trees are heavy with foliage and the grass up on the hill, knee high.

It was a welcome scene for the visitors arriving from Jakarta and Singapore. Ocean Blue Resorts Indonesia  and Team Sunut invited some special guests for a tour of the island. And it didn’t disappoint.

We were able to show the guests that the new airport is up and running with 5 aircraft loading and loading visitors to Lombok. It was then the turn of the new road to impress them with the high speed road link to Mataram.

The visit was designed to show the great advances Lombok is making and the major investments designed to attract more tourist.  Hopefully the bank representatives can see that the region is all that it says it is and help investors create jobs and security for the communities.

Martin Gow, CEO of OBRI said,  ‘this area is no longer a green field site. We have the backing from Jakarta and Lombok Government to build the new tourism zone, we have the specialists to do the job and the business plan independently audited to ensure that the investors succeed.’
