In 2020 there was a substantial decline in demand for luxury hotels in Indonesia as travel restrictions, specifically the ban on inbound arrivals, and large-scale social restrictions in response to the COVID-19 pandemic undermined the ability of hoteliers to attract guests. Indonesia’s luxury hotels tend to rely heavily on inbound business travellers and foreign tourists to generate bookings.
Faced with plummeting demand due to the absence of foreign visitors and the lack of demand among affluent locals, many of the leading players in luxury hotels in Indonesia offered generous discounts on room rates throughout the pandemic. In addition, many sought to appeal to consumers via voucher schemes to support flagging demand and generate higher sales.
One of the key strategies undertaken to resolve the low occupancy rates among Indonesia’s leading luxury hotels was a broadening of guest profiles. Typically, Indonesia’s luxury hotels have relied on foreign visitors for the bulk of their bookings.
Over the forecast period, Indonesia luxury hotels is expected to see a slow but steady recovery in line with the return of inbound tourism. Given that a more relaxed border policy has already been lifted for some popular international tourism areas like Bali, it is expected that more international tourists will visit the country in the coming years.
Crucial to the recovery of luxury hotels is the expected increase in demand for MICE tourism. This is an area of Indonesia’s travel and tourism industry which has boomed in recent years, particularly as Jakarta has emerged strongly as a regional business travel destination.
One major change that is expected to be seen in luxury hotels in Indonesia during the forecast period is a much greater focus on hygiene and cleanliness. This will be a lingering reaction to the COVID-19 pandemic, which forced luxury hoteliers to address various hygiene and cleanliness issues to cater to the needs of their high-end clientele.
