IHG Expands Presence in Indonesia

InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) has revealed an expansion plan for Indonesia, with a strong pipeline in the midscale segment for Holiday Inn and Holiday Inn Express. IHG will also strengthen its presence in the country with the launch of Hotel Indigo. A total of three Holiday Inn and nine Holiday Inn Express properties are set to open in the next three years, while Hotel Indigo is set to make its debut in 2016 with the Hotel Indigo Jakarta Kemang. Currently, IHG has four brands present in Indonesia - Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Express, InterContinental and Crowne Plaza. 

Qantas and Emirates Form Global Partnership

A new partnership agreement between Qantas and Emirates will see Qantas reroute its European flights and moving its European hub from Singapore to Dubai. Alongside this 10-year agreement, Qantas has also announced the termination of its 17-year joint business venture with British Airways. Both airlines will codeshare on a range of routes, collaborate on pricing, sales and scheduling. With this partnership, Qantas will fly daily A380 services from both Sydney and Melbourne to London via Dubai. Between the two airlines, there will be 98 weekly services between Australia and Dubai.

Singapore Airlines to Launch Yangon Route 
 
Catering to the increasingly growing demand for both business and leisure travel to Myanmar, Singapore Airlines will launch daily services to Yangon, alongside the existing Yangon route offered by its subsidiary, Silkair. The new Yangon route offered by SIA will commence operations on 28 October. With this new flight route, the SIA Group will have a total of 16 flights weekly to Yangon, serviced by both SIA and Silkair. 
 
Tourism Numbers in Malaysia Continue to Increase 

Malaysia has registered a growth of 2.4% in tourist arrivals for the first half of 2012. Having recorded 11,632,483 tourist arrivals during this period, the country has generated tourism receipts of RM26.8 billion, or a 4.0% increase from the same period in 2011. Increased air connectivity to several key destinations such as Beijing and Hong Kong, in addition to several key international tourism events such as the F1 Petronas Malaysia Grand Prix and the three-month long 1Malaysia GP Sale, have contributed to the continued growth of Malaysia's tourist arrivals.
