Major hotel operators in Indonesia are working to fill the gap left by the government sector, which traditionally contributes between 30 and 40 per cent of business, by diversifying their market segments.
Hariyadi Sukamdani, president of the Indonesia Hotels and Restaurants Association (IHRA), stated that the association, in collaboration with the Indonesian Tourism Industry Association (GIPI), is actively pushing for the government to amend the regulation that restricts government agencies from holding events in hotels.
