Business Strategies amidst Covid-19 Pandemic

While we continue to strive in fighting against Covid-19, Jayakarta Group has also aligned our marketing and financial strategy in respond to the changing situation. We are reaching existing and new customers by staying connected with them digitally. Revamping our website and developing digital marketing tools such as e-brochures, digital tour video, and email marketing are examples on how Jayakarta Group is adapting with this challenging time. Although the situation is difficult, we are also excited in how Jayakarta Group can seized the opportunity of transforming our regular marketing campaigns into digital marketing.

As the result of our continuous commitment, our hotels are starting to pick up their normal occupancy rate, especially in favorite destination such as Bandung and Anyer. Additionally, our strong brand loyalty has enforced guests and visitors with the confidence of staying in our premises.

As we prepare ourselves to act and respond against this challenge, we are still committed to take care of our employees. No employees are being laid off. There is no question that the

COVID-19 situation has or will result into a cost optimization exercise for many companies. Jayakarta Group has been known for its prudence characteristics in managing its financial condition. We implement company’s cost reduction, improve efficiency, and work even more tightly together to achieve a holistic view on how we should act as a group, not only as separate business unit.

We believe that the Covid-19 pandemic is a marathon game. There is no quick fix on how to handle it. Aimless, short term cost cutting initiatives will cause an irreparable damage in the long run. On the contrary, we need to remain vigilant and cautious to determine how we can fine tune the company.

Only the strongest team will survive through this uncertain time. We believe that Jayakarta Group as a team has been tested through time. It is within our strong teamwork, we have managed to surf through the difficult tides. And this time is no exception. Jayakarta Group will continue to strive its business and provide benefits for all our stakeholders (shareholders, customers, employees, and vendors).
