Denpasar, Bali (Antara Bali) -- The room occupancy rate of luxury hotels in the resort island of Bali was recorded at 40 percent on an average, in the first half of 2015.
This 20 percent drop in the room occupancy rate, as compared to that in the same period last year, occurred due to stiff competition.
The figure fell from 60 percent in the corresponding period last year, Chief of the Bali Chapter of the Indonesian Hotels and Restaurants Association (PHRI) Tjokorda Oka Artha Ardhana Sukawati said on Saturday.
"However, I am optimistic that in the days before and after the Idul Fitri festivities, the room occupancy rate of luxury hotels will increase because numerous domestic and foreign tourists visit Bali for their vacations," he affirmed.
Several guests have booked rooms in hotels to holiday in Bali during the Idul Fitri festivities, which will fall on July 17 and 18, he stated.
"Owners of many luxury hotels are offering special packages to potential guests during Idul Fitri. Hopefully, these promotions will serve to increase their room occupancy rates," Sukawati remarked. (WDY)
