Small hotels need help too

Small hotels need help too

We are the owners of a number of small bungalows not far from
Tanah Lot, Tabanan regency, Bali.

It is not a star-rated hotel, but rather melati class. We
appreciate the help from the government in reviving Bali's
tourist industry, but we would like to take part too.

The package deals being offered are for airline tickets with
special discounts and discounted accommodation in star-rated
hotels.

How about the melati hotels? We need guests too, as we have
to pay our workers who have been working for us for many years.
For the coming holidays we would like to suggest to the
authorities concerned an "Economic Class" package for those who
cannot afford to travel by air, even with discounts. Many people
have to travel by train or bus.

Could a similar arrangement be made with PT KAI (state-owned
railway company) or bus companies, in which they would give
discounts for tickets to Bali and accommodation in smaller
hotels?
