(Singapore)- Joe Russell Tennis International (JRTI) has signed an agreement with the Westin Resort, Nusa Dua, Bali to direct and manage the tennis programmes at this fabulous 5 Star destination resort. “This is an outstanding opportunity for JRTI as we feel that Westin Resort, Nusa Dua is an ideal destination for those holiday minded tennis lovers who are looking for structured tennis packages, combined with other services such as spa, fine dining, and beach activities,” according to JRTI’s CEO, Joe Russell.
The Westin Resort, Nusa Dua, Bali, situated on Bali’s southern coast, is a tropical paradise with beautiful white sand.

The Westin Resort, Nusa Dua is connected to the Bali International Convention Center and offers the island’s most comprehensive facility with flexible meeting and exhibition space. With the recent US$ 5 million renovation now complete, the hotel becomes the newest upper upscale five- star hotel in the Nusa Dua area catering to both leisure and conference guests. The Westin Hotels & Resorts were recently voted the number one upper-upscale hotel brand for three years in Business Travel News’ “Annual U.S. Hotel Chain Survey.”

By offering first class tennis coaching related services we are hoping to attract some of this market. Additionally, we would like to capture some of the ever growing corporate tennis market in the region and with the close proximity of the Bali International Convention Center to the hotel we feel that we are positioned to tap into this market.” says Russell.
