hirty-two star-rated hotels on the resort island of Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara are offering discounts of up to 50 percent amid eruptions at Mount Agung.
The policy was taken to facilitate domestic and international tourists who must extend their stays due to flight changes and airport closures.
“The discounts are being offered to help tourists,” said Mohammad Faozal of the West Nusa Tenggara Tourism Agency at a press conference in Mataram on Thursday.
He added that the discounts had been agreed to by hotel managements and the Hotels and Restaurants Association (PHRI).
