The occupancy rate of star-rated hotels in Jakarta, Indonesia
rose to an average of 65% in August 2009, compared to the
50% level in July 2009. The rise in occupancy level is a
sign of recovery from the terror bombings at the JW Marriott
and Ritz-Carlton hotels in Jakarta in July 2009. However, it
was noted that the increase in occupancy rate was recorded
only at lower-rated hotels such as the two-star, three-star
and four-star hotels, while the occupancy rate of five-star
hotels still remained at the 50% level. |
