JAKARTA - Hotel room occupancy began to increase ahead of the 2025 MotoGP event at the Mandalika Circuit, Central Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara.

"Around Mataram, the information obtained from the occupancy of orders is almost 50 percent, starting to lead to 50 to 60 percent," said Head of the NTB Tourism Office Ahmad Nur Aulia quoting Antara.

Aulia said the positive growth was proven by the intensive supervision carried out by her party to ensure that the development of the tourism sector continued to show a good trend.

According to him, so far there have been no special concerns from guests regarding accommodation in the Mandalika area considering that the area is the main focus of accommodation for the crew, racers and organizers.

"If the Mandalika area is already a full order for the 2025 MotoGP event," said Aulia.

He further explained that the observation of this occupancy was divided into three clusters. The average occupancy of hotels in Mataram City and West Lombok has reached 40-50 percent, while the occupancy rate in the Mandalika area, which is the location of the race, has touched 90 percent.

The hotel room booking system has been done in real terms. In fact, most of them book hotel rooms by including down payment.

Although other areas are still relatively normal, said Aulia, usually before MotoGP there is an increase in hotel occupancy ordered by the audience.

Based on the results of monitoring the NTB Tourism Office, there has been no significant increase in accommodation prices. Local governments continue to carry out surveillance, such as online supervision through accommodation provider applications.

"We are also here conducting online patrols. I ask my friends to monitor from the application, whether there is a significant spike," said Aulia.

If there is an inn provider that charges a high price, the NTB Tourism Office immediately intervenes by communicating with the inn manager to maintain price stabilization.

The NTB Tourism Office ensures that all hotels in Lombok are ready to accommodate a surge in domestic and foreign tourist visits with the total number of available rooms reaching 13,039 rooms.

Meanwhile, associations, hotels, and tourism actors are expected to strengthen promotional strategies by collaborating with the Injourney Tourism Development Corporation (ITDC) and the Mandalika Grand Prix Association (MGPA).
