Traveloka had also launched a series of initiatives to promote safe and flexible bookings, such as Traveloka Clean Accommodation and flexible bookings features such as Buy Now Stay Later, Online Check-In, Pay Upon Check-In and Easy Reschedule.
IHG currently has 24 hotels in Indonesia with a pipeline of 16 hotels to open within the next three to five years. Six of IHG’s brands are represented in the current portfolio, with another two new brands,
Kimpton and Regent, to enter the market later. Upcoming openings during this year include Kimpton Naranta Bali, Holiday Inn Bali Sanur and Holiday Inn Bali Canggu.
