The tourism sector is striving to bounce back stronger once the pandemic is over.
With many countries imposing travel bans and lockdowns, the hospitality and leisure sectors have been among the hardest hit. In April, at least 1,266 hotels in Indonesia closed with 150,000 employees severely impacted.
In Jakarta, some five-star hotels have suspended their operations entirely, while others are still welcoming guests with tight health measures and creative promotions.
Among the hotels’ creative campaigns have been enticing promotions for guests to stay later in the year.
Luxurious hotels run by Marriott International Hotels and Resorts in Indonesia are offering holiday packages and hotel vouchers that can be given to loved ones as gifts.
Marriott is offering a three-day, two-night stay package with low prices at its luxurious hotels, city hotels or beach resorts for a stay period until 2021, depending on the hotels.
Guests can book now and stay later.

For those hoping to travel to Bali after the pandemic, Anvaya Beach Resort and The Samaya at Seminyak and Ubud are offering similar promotion packages, which include breakfast for two people.
