PHASE two of Bali Nusa Dua Convention Center (BNDCC) has opened for business, doubling the venue’s raw space to 50,000m2.
The latest phase spans 25,000m2 and with the existing facilities offered in the first wing, BNDCC now provides event organisers 50 meeting rooms capable of hosting 12,000 people altogether.
Owned by Nusa Dua Indonesia, a sub-holding company of public-listed Dyandra Media International, the BNDCC complex also includes a five-star hotel which is due to be ready this December. With the completion of the hotel, the entire development will be renamed Bali Nusa Dua Hotel and Convention Center.
Business has been brisk for the new wing, having hosted three international conferences and the grand finals of Miss World 2013 prior to its official launch at end-September, as well as APEC Summit’s media centre and a dinner for economic leaders.
To come before the end of 2013 are several more events, including the World Bridge Championship with 1,000 delegates from 31 countries, the Internet Governance Forum with 2,000 delegates from 100 countries, the Bali Democracy Forum with 500 delegates including six head of states of member countries, and the 9th World Trade Organisation Ministerial Meeting in December with 7,000 delegates from 185 countries.
Meanwhile, Nusa Dua Indonesia is constructing the Indonesia International Convention and Exhibition Center in Tangerang, off Jakarta. Slated to open in mid-2014, the venue will offer 150,000m2 of convention and exhibition facilities – possibly the largest in the country.
The company is also planning to build its fifth venue in Makassar, South Sulawesi.
