Nusa Dua, 17th November, 2004

(Nusa Dua, Bali, Indonesia)

On 15th December 2004, Bali Hilton International was contacted by both the US Embassy, Jakarta and the Australian Consulate, Bali in regards to a possible terrorist threat against a western target in Indonesia. Although the Hilton name was mentioned as a possible target, the threat was by no means limited to Hilton Hotels only. The threat did not indicate at all that it was aimed specifically at Bali Hilton International.

The threat was taken seriously by the Hotel and as a precaution, Bali Hilton immediately took the necessary steps to further raise the level of security awareness. The local police has also provided immediate and proportionate support in terms of manpower and logistics. After having gone through the aftermath of 9/11 and the previous Bali bombing incident, Bali Hilton has beefed-up its security systems (including CCTV monitors), procedures and, apparatus had been significantly modified and improved. All of these procedures have remained in place. The Hotel has also received the highest rating in terms of its security procedures and measures taken in the newly implemented security evaluation process by the local police force.

The Hotel remains in very close contact with the Local Authorities, the police, the Consulates and Embassies on any necessary updates. Having been in the “people industry”, Bali Hilton International recognizes the importance of security to a traveler. The Management and Staffs are fully committed to the safety and welfare of each and every guests or customers.
