ourists to Lombok and Sumbawa in West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) will enjoy a great sale in which hotels, restaurants, tour packages and handicraft prices will be discounted for the whole month of February.
“Tourists just need to show their boarding passes and identity cards to access the Lombok-Sumbawa Great Sale 2017 and later could enjoy 20 to 70 percent discounts,” NTB Tourism Agency head Lalu Mohammad Faozal told reporters on Tuesday.
He said the event was expected to boost the number of tourists visiting NTB during the low season between January and March.
NTB Indonesian Hotel and Restaurant Association (PHRI) chairman Lalu Hadi Faisal said it was hoped the sale would boost the hotel occupancy rate to 70 percent, up from the 30 to 40 percent normally seen during the low season.
“Some 62 star-rated hotels and more than 48 restaurants will join the event,” he added.
NTB Tourism Promotion Board (BPPD) head Affan Ahmad added that tourists could find catalogues about handicrafts at discounted prices at Lombok International Airport.
