INTERVIEW WITH MASHANING, MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER OF NUSA DUA BEACH HOTEL & SPA

As the Marketing Communications Manager of Nusa Dua Beach Hotel & Spa, what is your strategy to attract more guests to stay at this hotel?
Our unique selling point is the “Authentically Bali “experience through rice heritage and cultural architecture. Many parts of the Resort are adorned with walls covered in paintings or sculptures of historical events and ceremonies. The Ballroom ceilings feature old Balinese patterns and colors. Beautifully carved statues can be found everywhere depicting dancers, princes & princesses. Two beautifully painted mythical “Garuda” statues guard the entrance. Even the hand railings of the lobby staircase depict the traditional “Melasti” ceremonial procession (made in cast iron).

How would you describe your hotel?
Nusa Dua Beach Hotel & Spa is one of the best resorts because it is truly a beach resort on a white-sandy beach. In Nusa Dua, it is already an established property and one of the leading original five-star resorts in Bali. We are thirty-five years old this May.

Who has inspired you the most in life?
My parents inspired me in my life. My father passed away in 2008 but I will never forget how he walked with me shoulder to shoulder. My mother is a very strong women and patience. She never gave up. She is my superhero.

What is your biggest weakness?
I tend to rush through tasks because I want to get them done quickly, but I am learning to step back and put a bit more emphasis on quality than speed. I’ve started to become both efficient and effective.

How did you maintain your daily personal appearance?
As a Marketing Communications professional, being beautiful is a must because we represent our company that we worked for. It’s not about the fancy clothing, the hair or the make-up but a self-confidence and be just the way you are. We need to be sociable, friendly and approachable. Therefore, we need to keep maintaining our beauty outside with well treatment (hair, face and body treatment every month, also drink enough water) and beauty inside with laughing and always try to be kinder and gentler to everyone and do best to leave my mark in a positive way.

What do you do in your leisure time?
I love beach and nature. I also love spending time with my mother just to talk about small things and eat together.

If you could travel anywhere in the world, which destination would you choose and why?
I would like to discover the most beautiful places in Indonesia. We have more than 17,000 islands with amazing mountains, glorious temples, hidden beaches etc. After that I am thinking of Southeast Asia and Europe.

If you could master one skill that you don’t have right now, what would it be?
I wouldn’t say that I don’t have it but I want to sharpen the skill. It’s an Anger management. Anger is a completely normal because it’s human emotion. But when it gets out of control, it can lead to problems at work, in personal relationships, health and overall quality of life.
