INTRODUCTION
A. Background
The Covid-19 pandemic has had a major impact on the global tourism industry,
including Indonesia. One of the many ` in the tourism industry has been the forced closure
of thousands of hotels in Indonesia. To survive a pandemic, one must be smart enough to
see the possibilities that the younger generation can overcome it. The key to hotel
marketing success is creating campaigns to let people know the hotel still exists. The
Covid-19 pandemic has had a major impact on the global tourism industry, including
Indonesia. One of the many ` in the tourism industry has been the forced closure of
thousands of hotels in Indonesia. To survive a pandemic, one must be smart enough to see
the possibilities that the younger generation can overcome it. The key to hotel marketing
success is creating campaigns to let people know the hotel still exists (Fahlevi, 2022).
when COVID-19 emerged in Indonesia, hotel occupancy rates fell sharply from 52.3% in
March 2019 to only 19.7% in the same month in 2020. Interaction between hotel
employees and guests is significant to ensure guests' needs are met. Unfortunately, the
pandemic has hampered this interaction. Managers should enforce strict safety measures,
such as testing employees for the virus to improve health and safety. Some hotels offer new
packages, such as price discounts, to increase occupancy rates and revenue. They need to
lay off employees to balance finances. Another alternative is to provide leave with or
without dependents. Additionally, many managers choose to temporarily cut salaries to
preserve jobs. Cutting labour costs through layoffs is an important step in overcoming the
crisis (Japutra & Situmorang , 2022).
This service industry is particularly affected because it involves a lot of direct
interaction between people. Even though the government's 5 M and PPKM policies ask all
sectors to follow them to reduce the spread of the COVID-19 virus. Hospitality has been
greatly impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic because it is part of the tourism sector. The
complexity of obstacles from policy to changes in consumer behaviour means that the
accommodation business has not yet fully recovered. Many hotels in big cities and tourism
areas such as Bali, Jakarta, Yogyakarta, and Surabaya have experienced a drastic decline in
occupancy rates, even less than 10% as reported by many media since before the pandemic.
(Rachma, 2021). In 2023, the hotel industry in Indonesia is expected to grow. Continuing
the improving growth trend in 2022. In Surabaya, businesses have started operating again.
Many guests from companies and businesses are starting to return to stay for long periods.
In addition, the number of visitors has increased thanks to conventions, exhibitions, and
other activities. "Senior Associate Director of Colliers Indonesia Ferry Salanto reported that
the hotel sector is predicted to increase in 2023 because Surabaya will host the U-20 World
Cup." In Bali, tourists continue to increase. In Jakarta, performance in 2022 is the best
since the pandemic (2020-2022) because looser regulations make a business run smoothly
and MICE activities are busy in hotels and almost recovered to pre-pandemic levels.
(Sandi, 2023)
Hotel operations offer two options for the implementation of an industrial
placement program. Be it business or hotel. The Industrial Internship Program is one of the
compulsory subjects at UMN. In the sixth semester of the Hospitality Operations Program,
students can choose between the Food Production Department and the Food Service
Department according to their requirements for the Industrial Placement Program. The
writer chose the food and beverage department of Swissotel Jakarta PIK Avenue. The
writer interested in waiters and service and wants to improve skills and knowledge at
Swissôtel.
Swissôtel Jakarta PIK Avenue is one of the hotels that belong to the Accor hotel
group. Swissotel, a 5-star hotel within the ACCOR group, provides stylish and cozy rooms
inspired by Swiss design. The arrival of Swissotel marked the beginning of hotels in
Jakarta. Swissôtel is dedicated to providing quality service in business, economy, and
innovation. The writer decided to stay at Swissotel Jakarta PIK Avenue because of the
exceptional and inviting ambience of the hotel's restaurant, The Chinese National. This
restaurant offers a unique dining experience with its distinct concepts such as black powder
red, iron needle, paper duck, and letterpress. The writer thinks that the restaurant holds
great importance, especially for Swissôtel employees. This has motivated the author to
investigate the possibility of creating an industrial relocation program specifically for
Swissôtel PIK Avenue Jakarta. Due to its central location in PIK, Swissotel attracts many
guests who choose to stay at the hotel. Swissotel Jakarta PIK Avenue offers a total of 412
rooms, along with 3 dining options - The Chinese National, Summers at the Pool, and
Brown Milk, as well as a bar called Letterpress. In terms of facilities, the hotel boasts a
Summers at the Pool, fitness centre, SPA, and 4 ballrooms named Bern, Basel, Lucern, and
Lugano.(Swissotel jakarta PIK Avenue, n.d.)
