Archipelago International Appointed to Manage Asian Games Athletes' Villages


JAKARTA, Indonesia, Aug. 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Archipelago International, Indonesia's leading hotel operator, has been appointed by the Asian Games Organizing Committee (INASGOC) as the operator of the Athletes' Villages in Jakarta and Palembang.

The 2018 Asian Games villages provide accommodation for over 16,000 athletes spread over the two Athletes' Villages with 6,000 rooms in Jakarta and over a thousand in Palembang (a larger number of athletes than the Olympics).

Meeting the requirements set by INASGOC and planning for an effective management and oversight of the villages for the scale of this event has its challenges as the villages are in two different cities with Archipelago International utilizing the help and expertise of over 600 staff, support personnel, logistical, IT and Programming specialists to ensure the comfort and safety of all the guests staying at the athlete's villages.

John Flood, President and CEO of Archipelago International spoke about his delight at being chosen to provide the accommodation for the elite athletes from over 45 countries at the Asian Games and the great support they have received from INASGOC and everyone involved so far:

"We're delighted to be a part of history and working alongside INASGOC and all the various government departments has been a real pleasure and a great experience -- everyone is really focused and totally committed to making the games a roaring success and making Indonesia proud.

We're all pulling together to make the villages a great place to stay -- safe, comfortable and enjoyable -- something they'll remember for the rest of their lives. There will be athletes whose real victory was earning a place on their national team and reaching the games, so they look to soak up more of the atmosphere of the games -- for others, however, being on the podium is the only thing on their mind.

It's a place to prepare for the defining moment in any athlete's life and a place to unwind or people-watch before or between competitions. It's this kind of environment we are trying to create and plan to deliver."

From August 18 to September 2, the 18th Asian Games will take place in Jakarta and Palembang, tickets can be purchased via the Games official website, asiangames2018.id.
