I Ketut Tusan Aryasa - Secretary



Tusan is Secretary of IHKA Bali Committee for period 2006 – 2009. He currently works as Executive Housekeeper in Ramada Bintang Bali Resort, Tuban.

Handsome, smart and clever……that is the first impression that you will fell when you meet this enthusiastic person. The way how he steps into the hospitality industry shows us that he is very potential person from the beginning. Imagine…..before graduating his study in Hotel and Tourism Institute Nusa Dua he was hired by Bali Resort Palace Hotel Tanjung Benoa to start his career from rank and file staff as Room Attendant.
Luckily Bali was flooded by visitor round 1989. Many new hotels were built to balance the supply with so high demand of room at that glorious tourism era. Realized so many opportunities around Bali and to improve his career he resigned from Bali Resort Palace to join Bali Dynasty to take a position as Floor Supervisor. Because of his dedication and great job in this hotel he was promoted to be an Assistant Executive Housekeeper after four years in his previous position.
To expand the experience, to improve knowledge and for self actualization were the reason why he left this company to join Radisson Sanur even though the position offered to him was the same as in previous property. His capability and his great performance in this hotel totally impressed the Manager. Promotion to Executive Housekeeper was confirmed to him just one and half year after joining the company. It was a great achievement, wasn’t it? As a person who loves challenges he decided to move again to Kuta area to join Ramada Bintang Bali until now.

If we ask him whether he has planned to be a hotel employee since a child or not, like most of us, he will say no. Actually he wanted to be a head of a district. His failure to achieve it has brought him to a very interesting experience in Nusa Dua when first time entering the hotel. As a young man who was born in the village on east Bali where we can only find simple houses, farm, and cows we can imagine how he was astonished when entered Nusa Dua area with beautifully carved gate, well trimmed grass, super modern hotel building, and those kinds of fabulous tourist facilities. This amazing tourist zone has given him high motivation to work in tourism sector, and he has made it.
In his daily life Tusan is quite strive forward person. He doesn’t like to spend his time to hang around in the busy and crowded places like shopping mall, or those kinds of night life places. He prefers to spend time at home to take care his own garden, reading, listening music especially Balinese pop music, or playing tennis and badminton to keep his body in a good shape. Maybe because of this homey life style he has never fallen in love with girl out side of his working place. He has falling in love and finally married to the most beautiful girl in the hotel where he works, in his department and she is his staff. Oldies Javanese people will say “Tresno jalaraning suko kulino” while young people in today era will say “CINLOK”. It doesn’t matter whatever people says. The most important thing is now they are living in harmony with two sons and one daughter, a perfect family.
