The Iconic Rock Bar Unveils Its New Visual Identity
The major rebrand of the world famous bar marks a new era of Ayana Resort’s commitment to remaining at the forefront of Bali’s entertainment scene

Globally renowned as Bali’s leading destination for sunset views, exquisite dining experiences, handcrafted cocktails, and world-class entertainment, Rock Bar proudly unveils its reimagined visual identity, which captures the essence of the iconic venue.

The new emblem reflects Rock Bar’s position as the ultimate sundowner hotspot in Bali, featuring a sophisticated, contemporary design that resonates with the evolving tastes of its audience.

“After 15 remarkable years as one of Bali’s most stunning bars, hosting visitors annually from all corners of the globe, Rock Bar is embracing a fresh visual identity that reflects both our loyal patrons and resonates with a new generation of guests,” shares Giordano Faggioli, General Manager of Ayana Resort.

The new visual identity of Rock Bar incorporates warm tones in the rock, evoking the fiery energy of a sunset and complementing the gorgeous hues painting the sky, while the splash of blue represents the endless ocean surrounding Rock Bar, aligning the branding with the natural beauty that surrounds Rock Bar location. 

“The transition from the previous logo was driven by a desire to resonate with the evolving preferences of our sophisticated and contemporary audience. Moreover, the font chosen for “Rock Bar” aims to reflect a sleeker, more modern aesthetic, further enhancing our brand’s image,” adds Giordano. 

Elegantly carved into low-lying rock formations below the stunning limestone cliffs of Jimbaran Bay, Rock Bar emerged in 2009 as one of Bali’s pioneering cliff-side establishments.

Its journey to prominence has been recognized by numerous accolades, including CNN naming it one of the world’s best hotel bars in 2020, and Travel+Leisure declaring it one of the world’s coolest hotel bars. Today, Rock Bar has expanded its capacity to accommodate up to 880 guests simultaneously.

In addition to being a global leader among sunset entertainment destinations, Rock Bar also offers an exceptional dining experience that showcases both Ayana Resort’s dedication to culinary excellence and the breathtaking backdrop of the Indian Ocean. Rock Bar’s menu presents a fusion of the freshest locally sourced seafood, creatively infused with Greek-inspired flavors. 

From the succulent Marinated Sea Bream to the tantalizing Grilled Octopus and the delightful Stuffed Baby Squid, each dish offers a harmonious balance of flavors and textures. The Greek-inspired twist imbues each plate with a distinctive flair, elevating the dining experience. Prioritizing locally sourced seafood not only supports Indonesian fishers but also guarantees freshness and sustainability.

The unveiling of Rock Bar’s new visual identity signifies a new chapter in Ayana’s commitment to setting the global standard for entertainment destinations. Following Rock Bar’s success, its sister establishment, After Rock, a state-of-the-art nightclub, will be inaugurated in June 2024.

Asia Pacific Gen-Zs and Millenials Seek to Unlock Value and Maximize Travel Experience with One Loyalty Program 
Regional survey by Marriott Bonvoy uncovers key traits of travel-oriented, value-driven Gen-Zs and Millennials 

A survey by Marriott Bonvoy, the award-winning travel program of Marriott International, has found that a majority of Gen Zs and Millennials in Asia Pacific excluding China (APEC) prefer the simplicity of belonging to one comprehensive loyalty travel program.

While 60% of APEC Gen Zs and Millennials are actively subscribed to loyalty programs, the challenge of juggling several loyalty programs has led most (57%) to seek out one program that meets all their travel needs.

Marriott Bonvoy carried out the survey of 1,000 respondents across ten markets in APEC to better understand the shifting attitudes of Millennials and Gen Zs and their travel behaviors. The survey identified an emerging generation of travel-focused, value- driven “Savvy Explorers” in APEC who seek to maximize their travel dollars and unique travel experiences. 

Travel in 2024 is a priority for Gen Zs and Millennials: 73% report their intentions to take at least two trips in the next 12 months and 91% plan to spend the same, if not more, on their trips compared to the year before. Travel is viewed as an essential lifestyle component, and most are willing to reduce everyday spending on dining out (60%), shopping sprees (57%) and their daily coffee (54%) so as to spend more on a holiday. 

“Survey results suggest that Gen Zs and Millennials in APEC are purposefully strategizing how they can channel value from their everyday spend toward rewarding travel experiences. They also prefer to be part of only one all-encompassing loyalty travel program which fulfills their needs.”

“To this end, Marriott Bonvoy – which gives members access to over 30 brands in 10,000 destinations — is well positioned to deliver greater value and unlock more experiences for Gen Zs and Millennials,” says John Toomey, Marriott International’s Chief Sales and Marketing Officer, Asia Pacific excluding China.

“As testament to the program’s appeal, we have seen Marriott Bonvoy’s membership base in APEC grow by more than 50% since 2019. What’s more encouraging is that our members are highly active They earned 40% more points in 2023 compared to 2022, and are putting their points to good use, with points redemptions increasing by more than 55% in the same period,” he reveals. 

The trend of greater member growth and activity extends to the Marriott Bonvoy app. APEC member enrolment via digital channels grew by more than 25%, with mobile app downloads and active users more than doubling in 2023 compared to pre-pandemic levels. 

The regional survey also uncovered notable trends amongst Gen Zs and Millennials across the 10 APEC countries. Market-specific trends can be found in Annex A.

Swarovski to Present First Take on New Squared-Toed Converse Chuck 70 

How do you honor the past, while building the future?  

For over 100 years, the Chuck Taylor All Star has been adopted by athletes, musicians, artists, dreamers, and thinkers as a classic symbol of style, self-expression, and accessibility. Its canvas upper, All Star patch, rubber toe cap and vulcanized pinstripe rubber sole are recognized worldwide. 

For the last five years, Converse has been experimenting to provide new forms of expression for those unafraid to take a chance. And now, provides a new take on the icon’s toe cap and bumper.  

Joining the De Luxe family, comprised of the recently introduced Chuck 70 De Luxe Heel and Chuck 70 De Luxe Wedge, the Chuck 70 De Luxe Squared transformed its iconic rounded rubber toecap into one with angular, squared proportions for an entirely new expression.

With nuanced stitched detailing and a reshaped, octangular Chuck patch, the upper evokes the Chuck Taylor’s notable DNA. As the newest addition, the silhouette will first be presented in classic colorways.  

In honor of its debut, Converse also enlists Swarovski, the iconic crystal manufacturer to present a first take on a brand-new silhouette.  

No stranger to the world of collaboration, Swarovski crystal is synonymous with innovation and creativity and has inspired mesmerizing designs for over 125 years. And much like Converse, Swarovski has a long history and legacy in the world of fashion and entertainment, and have been adopted, beloved and embedded in some of culture’s most iconic moments. 

As two brands fueled by innovation and creativity, Swarovski allows endless opportunities for self-expression, so there are few better partners to first present the newest offering from Converse.  

Featuring over 1,300 individual Swarovski crystals encrusted on each pair, the De Luxe Squared allows the silhouette’s upper to shine and juxtaposes the notable upper with an assortment of multi-sized crystals. 

The Chuck 70 De Luxe Squared and the Converse De Luxe Squared with Swarovski© Crystals will debut globally on February 1, 2024, on Converse.com and select global retailers.

Completing the De Luxe trio of silhouettes, the De Luxe Wedge and De Luxe Heel are also both now available in April 2024 on Converse.id, Converse store at Kota Kasablanka and Swarovski store at Grand Indonesia.
