CENTRAL LOMBOK - The Tourism Office of Central Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara, stated that from the agreement of hotel managers, hotel and homestay room rental rates in the Mandalika Special Economic Zone remained normal ahead of the World Superbike (WSBK) event on March 3-5, 2023. "The hotel rental rate ahead of WSBK 2023 has not increased as at the beginning of the WSBK and MotoGP last year," said Head of the Central Lombok Regency Tourism Office, Lendek Jayadi in Praya, Antara, Thursday, February 23. He said this was done as a form of support for hotel and homestay entrepreneurs to overcome the old trauma that during WSBK and MotoGP previously there was an increase in room rent rates. "Now hotel room rental prices remain normal," he said. Although there is no clear price increase for WSBK 2023, services are still improved so that tourists who come feel safe and comfortable. "This means that services to tourists are still being improved, even though hotel rental prices are currently normal," he said. Based on preliminary reports, the number of hotel rooms in the Mandalika SEZ that have been ordered has reached 60 percent of the total 3,527 hotel rooms either in the Mandalika circle or in Central Lombok. "That's temporary data, the average five-star hotel room has been ordered," he said. He also appealed to tourism actors, both hotels and restaurants, to continue to apply health protocols to prevent COVID-19, even though the current pandemic has been under control. "The health protocol facilities and infrastructure must still be prepared according to the SOP, so that no new case clusters will appear," he said. Pertamina Mandalika International Street Circuit has again hosted the 2023 WSBK racing event after hosting WSBK 2021, MotoGP and WSBK 2022.
