JAKARTA - The Indonesian Hotel and Restaurant Association (PHRI) in Cianjur, West Java, recorded an increase in bookings for luxury hotel rooms ahead of the 2022 Eid al-Fitr, starting to increase by 40 percent compared to the previous year's Eid due to the pandemic with social restrictions.

Chairman of PHRI Cianjur, Nano Indrapraja said the level of hotel orders has started to increase since the two weeks of fasting, coming from a number of areas in Greater Jakarta, so that various facilities are provided for tourism actors and hotel managers.

"For last year's Eid, the rate of hotel room bookings one week before Eid was only hundreds of rooms filled, while this year, of the thousands of rooms available from PHRI members, 40 percent of them have been booked," he said, quoted from Antara, Wednesday 27 April.

His party predicts that occupancy will continue to increase one day before Eid because migrants prefer to vacation in hotels because domestic assistants return home.

"We hope the occupancy will be higher than before the pandemic," he said.

Although he said the occupancy rate during this year's holiday, was not as high as in the year before the pandemic, which could be full or full booking of 11,000 rooms for PHRI Cianjur members.

Head of the Cianjur Youth and Sports Tourism Office, Pratama Nugraha, said that before the holiday, his party ensured that there were no restrictions and restrictions on activities for migrants who wanted to vacation in Cianjur, but his party still appealed to implement strict procedures.

"We make sure there are no barriers or restrictions, but we urge businesses and tourists to continue to adapt to new habits and maintain progress," he said.
