HOTL Association Launches New Website

The Hotel Owners Tourism & Leisure (HOTL) Association of Timor-Leste is proud to announce the launch of its new official website, www.hotl.tl
— a modern, user-friendly platform designed to enhance visibility for Timor-Leste’s tourism sector and strengthen connections across the industry.

The new website serves as a central hub for members, partners, and visitors to access information about the Association’s initiatives, news, and resources. It highlights HOTL’s ongoing work to connect, support, lead, and build a vibrant and sustainable tourism industry in Timor-Leste.

“Our goal was to create a professional digital presence that truly reflects the growth and diversity of our tourism community. The new site gives our members greater visibility while providing useful tools and insights for businesses and partners promoting Timor-Leste as a destination.”
Marlon Cristianto Liu – HOTL General Manager 

Visitors can now explore sections dedicated to About HOTL, News and Events, and Trade Resources, which include a curated Image Library of high-quality photos of Timor-Leste and a collection of key documents and promotional materials for industry use. Members can also stay updated on upcoming meetings, initiatives, and opportunities to collaborate across the tourism sector.

Developed in close collaboration with Lionfish Design Studios, the new website combines modern functionality with intuitive navigation, ensuring that HOTL can effectively showcase its work while engaging both domestic and international audiences.

The launch marks another step forward in the Association’s 2025–2029 Strategic Plan, reinforcing its commitment to providing representation, services, and leadership for tourism operators of all sizes across Timor-Leste.
