PHRI Badung Bali Estimates Lebaran Holiday Occupancy at 80 Percent
Badung, Bali - The Indonesian Hotel and Restaurant Association (PHRI) in Badung Regency, Bali, estimates that the hotel occupancy rate in the area during the Nyepi and Lebaran holidays will reach an average of 80 percent.
“The Nyepi and Idul Fitri holiday period is still quite good, averaging 80 percent,” said PHRI Badung Secretary Gede Nick Sukarta in Badung, Bali, on Sunday.
He predicts an increase in hotel occupancy of around 10-15 percent compared to regular days.
Several hotels sampled for competitive measurement (competitive set) are located in tourist destinations such as Seminyak, Kuta, Nusa Dua, and Canggu, showing positive occupancy trends.
The occupancy rate during these religious holidays also adds vitality to the tourism sector, especially as it enters the low season for visitor arrivals.
Meanwhile, General Manager of PT Pengembangan Pariwisata Indonesia (ITDC) the Nusa Dua, I Made Agus Dwiatmika, projects that three hotels under the InJourney group will be the highest contributors to occupancy in the Bali region.
This state-owned enterprise projects an increase of around nine percent, reaching approximately 57 percent.
Meanwhile, the tourist visit rate in the premium tourist area located in Badung Regency is estimated to reach 61.25 percent.
For context, Badung Regency is one of the main concentrations of tourist destinations in Bali.
Based on data from the Bali Central Statistics Agency (BPS) in 2024, out of 593 star-rated hotels in Bali, 417 are in Badung with 48,257 rooms.
Meanwhile, non-star-rated hotels in Badung number 1,182 out of a total of 3,582 in Bali.
Previously, to encourage public purchasing power during the long Nyepi and Idul Fitri holidays, the government rolled out packages expected to provide economic stimulus, including for the tourism sector.
The government implemented transport ticket discounts with price reductions of up to 30 percent for trains, sea ferries, and toll roads.
