A responsibility is a very important thing in any profession. It will be positively correlated to the quality of individual and team work. “Responsibility and sense of belonging in the company where we work is a commitment that must be upheld. Without it, we will never get comfortable atmosphere in our workplace,” said General Manager of Inna Kuta Beach who has held the position since May 2012.
Wirya, the man born in 1965 and husband to Nyoman Sri Wahyuningsih, has been getting involved in tourism industry since 1985 after graduating from high school in 1984. He started his career as a bar waiter in a state-owned hotel named Inna Putri Bali when it was still under the name of Bali Nusa Dua Hotel. Due to his discipline and outstanding performance, the management appreciated him by giving awards to enhance his skills and abilities. For that purpose, he was given the opportunity to attend school by taking Diploma 1 majoring in Food and Beverage Service in Bali Tourism Institute (BPLP) in 1985.
Along with the performance he showed, Wirya was entrusted to fill in some important positions such as Sales Executive for 5 years, Sales Manager for 3 years, Marketing Manager, Food and Beverage Manager until 2006 at the Inna Putri Bali.
“Inna Hotel under PT HIN has owned some properties in Bali and outside Bali. It gives me the opportunity to improve the ability to fill in the position such as EAM and Resident Manager for 2 years until 2008 at the Inna Kuta Beach. In early 2009, I returned to the Inna Putri Bali entrusted as Resident Manager and Management Team Leader (KTM) for a year,” said the father of one son and one daughter.
Before being entrusted as General Manager at Inna Kuta Beach, Wirya had also filled in the position of General Manager at the Inna Sindhu Sanur for two years until 2011 and Inna Simpang Surabaya for a year until May 2012.
Responding to the competitive conditions existing today, Wirya had a great confidence of being able to face it. What Inna Kuta Beach had would support it to become the Grand Inna Kuta such as strategic location, best access to Kuta Beach and the hotel name had been quite well known.
And the more convincing was the addition of rooms in the new building and some facilities such as the food hall, Rooftop bar on the fourth floor, three swimming pools as well as upgrade in some sectors and the support of professional staff in the services.
“These are our capitals making the Inna Kuta have more capabilities of competing,” revealed Wirya who had won 15-Year Loyalty Award for 2 times in 2001 and 25-Year Loyalty Award in 2010 from the Hotel Indonesia Natour (PT HIN). (BTN/014)
