Ross Woods Expands Global Hotel Investment Expertise to Bali


Indonesia’s tourism scene is really taking off! We’re talking a 20.45% increase in international arrivals, with 11.56 million visitors already hitting our shores by October 2024.

This vibrant energy is drawing some serious investment. Around IDR 28.86 trillion (USD 1.7 billion) has flowed into hotels and restaurant business this year alone.

Now, to add to the excitement, we’re thrilled to announce that hotel investment expert Ross Woods is bringing his A-game to Bali. He’s teaming up with Seven Stones Indonesia, and together, we’re offering top-notch market insights and strategic advice.
