KUCHING: Over 200 winners descended upon the brand new Tune Hotel klia2 to enjoy a fun-filled evening as the hotel had a 'Pyjama Party' to celebrate its recent opening over the weekend.

Ten individual winners of the Tune Hotels' #RoomerHasIt Facebook campaign were able to invite family and friends to enjoy a further 10 complimentary double rooms for a sleepover at Tune Hotel klia2 and join in for the celebration in their sleeping garb.

International journalists and bloggers from Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, Singapore, Australia and Taiwan were also flown in courtesy of AirAsia and AirAsia X. The event was also made possible by partner-sponsors including Tune Talk Mobile Prepaid, the AirAsia BIG Loyalty Programme and Doof The World Sdn Bhd.

"We are thrilled with the opening of Tune Hotel klia2 which has already received an overwhelming response and very strong forward bookings from travellers around the region. Through the #RoomerHasIt social media campaign we wanted to introduce and create further awareness of our latest design and fit-out to previous guests as well as the fantastic facilities at klia2, the world's largest purpose-built airport for low cost carriers. There's no better way to do that than have them immersed in the hotel itself," said Tune Hotels Group CEO Mark Lankester at the party.

He said with Tune Hotel klia2, guests now have a superior accommodation option that is not only great value for money but also features improvements to its international-standard offerings. With 400 rooms, the hotel is directly connected to the new Kuala Lumpur International Airport 2 (klia2) Terminal via a covered walkway and link bridge, allowing easy and more convenient access as well as the Gateway@klia2 shopping mall. For ultimate convenience, the hotel features AirAsia self check-in kiosks in the lobby.

"Much has been said about the huge size of the new klia2 Terminal and it is impressively large. By hosting these winners and their guests at the Tune Hotel klia2, we want to illustrate just how convenient it is to have a great sleep or enjoy the services within the hotel while waiting for their next flight, and the convenience of strolling over to the terminal without rushing and with time on your side," he said.

Tune Hotels has innovatively transformed the guestroom experience into a modern-style accommodation featuring the all-new room design with a sleek writing table, luggage platform and a 32-inch flat screen LED TV, bringing about an improved, sophisticated but cool ambience throughout the Tune Hotel klia2.

Award-winning recording artiste and singer-songwriter Melissa Indot, YouTube sensation Elizabeth Tan and Tune Hotels' very own Eugene See entertained with performances of their own hit songs and popular interpretations.

There are currently 45 Tune Hotels available for booking across Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, England, Scotland, Australia, India and Japan.

Borneo World Music Expo 2014 an Ideal Platform for Budding <b>...</b>

Posted: 08 Jun 2014 09:16 PM PDT

Borneo World Music Expo-2

The second edition of Borneo World Music Expo will be held from June 16-18, 2014 at the Hilton Hotel in Kuching, Sarawak. Borneo World Music Expo will feature conferences, workshops, meetings, a trade fair and music showcases. The Expo is open to all delegates who have registered whilst the public is welcome at the evening showcases. Artists scheduled this year come from Sarawak, West Malaysia, Kalimantan, India, Java, Myanmar and Thailand.

According to Gerald Seligman, the consultant of the Expo, "We are using the same concept this year, but concentrating even more on acoustic and traditional music. The conference sessions will be mostly practical with advice on how to enter local and international markets, how to professionalize, and with information on what Malaysia is doing to support the arts".

There will be three days of concerts and two full days of conferences. Programmers from all over the world will be present at the second edition of Borneo World Music Expo, which will once again serve as a platform to expose South East Asia's ethnic musicians to the international market.

Dato' Rashid Khan, CEO of Sarawak Tourism Board, organiser of the festival commented, "Last year the ten groups showcased made a great impact and five were offered international concert dates or tours. One of the five, Lan E Tuyang, an ethnic Orang Ulu band went on a month long tour in Germany early this year. A sixth, Madeeh, an ethnic Bidayuh band presented at the Rainforest World Music Festival, also picked up a European agent and has an international career launched. That is a success rate we are proud of and one that we hope to match, even better, this time around".

The event is open for all professionals within the music field who want to increase their contacts, pick up new skills and exchange ideas in dynamic conference sessions. The expo also welcomes those who would like to present their wares, product or music.

Programmers from Australia, New Zealand, Europe, India, Korea and Cambodia will be at the Expo. For more information and to register as a delegate please log on to www.borneomusicexpo.com.
