Bukit Vista is a hospitality company that manages a wide network of properties across Bali. As a property manager, Bukit Vista‘s core operations focus on a commitment to “inspire delight” through innovation—this mantra is reflected in every aspect of their work, from guest services to property management. As Jing Cho Yang, the CEO, explains, “Technology itself is not the end purpose of what we do; it’s a means to an end.” And that end, for Bukit Vista, is to consistently deliver a delightful experience to their guests, partners, and employees.

Jing doesn’t shy away from the complexities of managing an organization that relies heavily on technology. As a property manager, balancing technological advancements with human-centric hospitality is crucial. A pivotal moment in Bukit Vista’s growth came when it became increasingly difficult to find a unifying purpose for the growing team. As he mentions, there’s always skepticism surrounding corporate mission statements, often dismissed as “corporate nonsense.” But for Bukit Vista, finding a unified vision was essential: “We want to inspire delight everywhere, everyone, every time.”

This vision demands that Bukit Vista, as a forward-thinking property manager, continuously evolve and innovate, leaving behind past achievements in favor of groundbreaking new ideas.
