ABSTRACT
Innside by Melia Yogyakarta is a 4-star business and leisure hotel owned by PT. Saraswanti
Indoland Development. Melia Hotels International operates this brand. In 2018-2019, Innside by
Melia Yogyakarta experienced a relatively rapid increase in revenue. However, the General
Manager of Innside by Melia Yogyakarta and the Directors of PT Saraswanti Indoland
Development are still not satisfied with the hotel's current performance because their revenue is
still inferior to competing hotels in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. To improve hotel
performance, the target market will be focused on leisure travelers. The target market's choice is
due to the more significant number of leisure travelers heading to Yogyakarta than business
travelers. However, the social media platform owned by Innside by Melia Yogyakarta, which will
attract leisure travelers, also does not have a good performance.
In terms of social media problems belonging to Innside by Melia Yogyakarta, the author conducts
various analyses and continues with formulating marketing strategies until the right solution is
found and its implementation. The analysis used is an external analysis using the PESTEL,
Competitor Analysis, and an internal analysis using the VRIO, Segmentation, Targeting, and
Positioning (STP). The analysis's objective is to identify the situation that occurs outside and
inside the Innside by Melia Yogyakarta. The next step is a survey to find out more about leisure
travelers' preferences visiting the Special Region of Yogyakarta. The survey was made based on
the customer experience's digital journey while staying at Innside by Melia Yogyakarta and hotels
in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. There are six stages of the customer experience journey: the
awareness/inspiration stage; research/consideration stage; decision-making stage; preparation
stage; in-hotel experience stage; and loyalty advocacy stage. The survey results were processed
quantitatively and analyzed descriptively.
Based on the survey results, the root of the problem lies in customers' low awareness/inspiration
towards Innside by Melia Yogyakarta's social media. The majority of customers can be aware of
Innside by Melia Yogyakarta with a vertical marketing system. The solution to this problem is
sought by using the Repositioning and New Wave Marketing strategy to create a horizontal
marketing system on Innside by Melia Yogyakarta's social media. Each alternative solution is
systematically compiled on the customer journey map. Then, recommendations for social media
content were made to implement the strategy.

ABSTRAK
Innside by Melia Yogyakarta merupakan hotel bisnis dan rekreasi berbintang 4 milik PT.
Saraswanti Indoland Development. Merek ini dioperasikan oleh Operator Melia Hotels
International. Pada tahun 2018-2019, Innside by Melia Yogyakarta mengalami peningkatan
pendapatan yang cukup pesat. Namun, General Manager Innside by Melia Yogyakarta dan
Direksi PT Saraswanti Indoland Development masih belum puas dengan kinerja hotel saat ini,
karena pendapatan yang mereka peroleh masih kalah dengan hotel pesaing di Daerah Istimewa
Yogyakarta. Sebagai upaya untuk meningkatkan kinerja hotel, pasar sasaran akan difokuskan
pada wisatawan khusus untuk rekreasi. Pemilihan pasar sasaran tersebut disebabkan karena
jumlah wisatawan rekreasi yang menuju ke Yogyakarta lebih besar dibandingkan dengan
wisatawan bisnis. Namun, platform media sosial milik Innside by Melia Yogyakarta yang akan
digunakan untuk menarik wisatawan rekreasi juga belum memiliki peforma yang baik.
Permasalahan sosial media milik Innside by Melia Yogyakarta, penulis teliti dengan melakukan
berbagai analisis dan dilanjutkan dengan merumuskan strategi pemasaran hingga ditemukan
solusi yang tepat beserta implementasinya. Analisis yang digunakan adalah analisis eksternal
dengan PESTEL, Analisis Kompetitor, dan analisis internal dengan VRIO dan Segmentasi,
Penargetan, dan Pemosisian (STP). Tujuan kedua analisis tersebut adalah untuk mengidentifikasi
secara lengkap situasi yang terjadi diluar dan didalam Innside by Melia Yogyakarta. Langkah
selanjutnya dilakukan survey untuk mengetahui lebih dalam preferensi dari wisatawan rekreasi
yang berkunjung ke Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta. Survey dibuat berdasarkan perjalanan
pengalaman pelanggan secara digital saat menginap di Innside by Melia Yogyakarta dan hotel-
hotel yang ada di Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta. Terdapat 6 tahap perjalanan pengalaman
pelanggan yang diteliti, yaitu tahap kesadaran/inspirasi; penelitian/pertimbangan; pengambilan
keputusan; persiapan; pengalaman di hotel; serta loyalitas dan advokasi. Hasil survey diolah
secara kuantitatif dan dianalisis secara deskriptif.
Berdasarkan hasil survey, akar permasalahan terletak pada pada rendahnya kesadaran/inspirasi
pelanggan terhadap sosial media milik Innside by Melia Yogyakarta. Mayoritas pelanggan dapat
sadar pada Innside by Melia Yogyakarta dengan sistem pemasaran vertikal. Kemudian,
permasalahan tersebut dicari solusinya dengan menggunakan strategi Repositioning dan New
Wave Marketing untuk membuat sistem pemasaran yang horizontal pada sosial media milik
Innside by Melia Yogyakarta dan tiap alternatif solusi disusun secara sistematis pada peta
perjalanan konsumen. Kemudian, rekomendasi konten sosial media dibuat sebagai
pengimplementasian strategi.

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION

1.1. Background
Special Region of Yogyakarta is a province in Indonesia that has tremendous and
attractive tourism potential. Tourism in the Special Region of Yogyakarta is mostly in the
form of nature tourism and cultural centers. Tourism activities are expected to be reliable
development forces because tourism activities can generate large income from foreign
and domestic tourists (BPS, 2020: 1).
Both foreign and domestic tourists who come need to be balanced with an increase
in accommodation availability, such as hotels. Hotels are used as benchmarks to
determine the number of tourists visiting an area because tourists certainly need a place
to stay. Hotels are significant places for tourists who expect comfort, good service,
cleanliness, and others. (BPS, 2019: 1).
According to Hendriyati, the hotel industry is growing very rapidly in the Special
Region of Yogyakarta. Currently, hotels are not only centered in the city of Yogyakarta
but now they have spread to the suburbs and districts. Many boarding houses function as
non-star hotels. The boarding house owner collaborates with the hotel operator to operate
his hotel. Boarding houses were built to have adequate facilities and several rooms. The
rapid development of hotels in the Special Region of Yogyakarta has led to intense
competition between hotels for guests (2019: 2).
There are three main indicators in the hotel industry that can show the
development of the hotel industry in an area. The three indicators are (1) the number of
foreign and domestic tourists visiting, (2) the average length of stay of tourists, and (3)
the occupancy rate of hotel rooms (BPS, 2020: 2).
The number of foreign and domestic tourists visiting can show how the Special
Region of Yogyakarta can generate much potential income. The more foreign and
domestic tourists visit, the greater their potential to spend their money in the Special
Region of Yogyakarta. Figure 1.1 shows the number of foreign and domestic tourists
visiting the Special Region of Yogyakarta in 2015-2019.

Figure 1. 1. Number of Tourists Visiting Yogyakarta 2015-2019 (BPS, 2020: 23)

In Figure 1.1, the number of foreign and domestic tourists visiting the Special
Region of Yogyakarta from 2015-2019 shows a positive trend. 2019 is the highest year
with the number of visits of 9,006,150 tourists. This data shows that business activities in
the Special Region of Yogyakarta, especially the hotel industry, are very interesting
because many tourists need hotels. The number is always increasing every year.

Figure 1. 2. The Average Length of Stay of Tourists in Yogyakarta 2015-2019 (BPS, 2020: 29)

Figure 1.2 shows the average length of time for foreign and domestic tourists
staying in the Special Region of Yogyakarta in 2015-2019. The longer the tourists stay,
it means that the area is very attractive to tourists. Tourists like to take a vacation or visit
the area. The length of time tourists stay can also increase the potential for consumption
or expenditure, which will lead to an increase in the income of the Special Region of
Yogyakarta. Although the average length of stay for tourists in the Special Region of

2
Yogyakarta in 2015-2019 tends to be stable in the range of 1.5 days, each year shows a
positive trend, which means that it is projected to increase next few years.

Figure 1. 3. Occupancy Rate of Hotel Room in Yogyakarta 2015-2019 (BPS, 2020: 32)

Figure 1.3 shows that hotel rooms' occupancy rate in the Special Region of
Yogyakarta always increases every year and shows a positive trend. This data shows that
the higher the occupancy rate of hotel rooms, the more rooms the hotel owners can sell
in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. This is an excellent opportunity for hotel owners in
the Special Region of Yogyakarta to expand or new business people interested in doing
business in the hotel sector in the Special Region of Yogyakarta.
The three indicators previously discussed (number of tourists, the average length
of stay for tourists, the occupancy rate of hotel rooms) show that the Special Region of
Yogyakarta is a very attractive and potential hotel business area. So it is natural that hotel
owners in the Special Region of Yogyakarta compete to get hotel guests.
Rapid technological advances support the development of the hotel industry in
this era. Advances in technology, such as the internet, have greatly facilitated
disseminating information worldwide through social media platforms. Social media plays
a vital role in the hospitality industry. Social media can change the way travelers search,
discover, share information about travel products, and change how they view hotel
decisions online (Varkaris and Neuhofer, 2017: 2).

3
Cox et al. explained that almost 80% of social media users use their social media
to find information about hotels, accommodation, and tourism locations. They try to see
reviews and hotel reviews made by customers who have stayed at the hotel. This behavior
shows that consumers have power to influence each other via social media (2009: 753).

Figure 1. 4. Mobile, Internet and Social Media Use in Indonesia (Kemp, 2019: 15)

Technological advances also occur in Indonesia. In his digital progress survey in


Indonesia in 2019, Kemp stated that 56% of Indonesia's 268.2 million people (150 million
people) are active internet and social media users. Compared to 2018, internet and social
media users in Indonesia experienced a growth of 13% (17 million people) and 15% (20
million people). This data shows that Indonesia's population is an extensive internet and
social media user and projected to grow every year.
Besides, Indonesians use the internet not only for social media activities. They
also began to carry out many activities to purchase goods or services online. In Figure
1.5, we can see that as many as 93% of Indonesians who actively use the internet (140
million people) look for goods or services they want to buy via online, then 86% of
Indonesians who actively use the internet (129 million people) choose to purchase goods
or services via online. This data shows that currently, online sales of goods or services

4
are very potential in Indonesia because most of Indonesia's population is an active buyer
in E-Commerce.

Figure 1. 5. E-Commerce Activities in Indonesia (Kemp, 2019: 56)

Figure 1.6 shows Indonesian residents total expenditure via online by category of
goods or services during 2019. The travel and accommodation category is in third place,
with a total consumer expenditure of $ 9,376 billion. The travel and accommodation
category is only inferior to the video games and digital music categories. This shows that
the interest of the Indonesian residents to shop for goods or services in the travel and
accommodation category is quite large (2019: 57).

Figure 1. 6. E-Commerce Spend by Category in Indonesia (Kemp, 2019: 57)

Given the previously mentioned data, the Indonesian population is a large and
potential market for social media. It has a large enough interest in buying products or
services in the travel and accommodation category. This data shows that social media as
a marketing tool can certainly be a differentiator for a hotel in the Special Region of
Yogyakarta to win the competition and generate large profits.
5
The owner and General Manager of Innside by Melia Yogyakarta are very aware
and felt the competitive competition between hotels in the Special Region of Yogyakarta.
As a hotel with an urban lifestyle concept that targets the millennial generation (20-40
years) as consumers, the Owner and General Manager of Innside by Melia Yogyakarta
need to build an effective social media strategy so that Innside by Melia Yogyakarta brand
awareness can be created well. The development of an effective social media strategy is
expected to create interest in potential customers, leading to their decision to buy Innside
by Melia Yogyakarta products and services and maintain the trust of loyal customers to
make repeat purchases.

However, General Manager of Innside by Melia Yogyakarta and the board of


directors of PT Saraswanti Indoland Development are still not satisfied with the current
hotel performance. Their dissatisfaction with hotel performance is shown in the Revenue
Per Available Room (RevPAR) with competing hotels in the Special Region of
Yogyakarta. The competing hotels are the Sheraton Hotel Mustika Yogyakarta Resort &
Spa, Novotel Yogyakarta, Sahid Jaya Yogyakarta Hotel & Convention, and Grand
Mercure Yogyakarta Adi Sucipto.
Figure 1.16 shows that in 2018-2019, there was an increase in RevPAR at Innside
by Melia Yogyakarta. The average RevPAR Innside by Melia Yogyakarta is Rp 183,145
and lower than competing hotels with RevPAR of Rp 270,618. When compared with four

As a hotel that carries the concept of "Bleisure," business and leisure, revenue
from Innside by Melia Yogyakarta is formed by two main segments: corporate and leisure
travelers. The two main segments of Innside by Melia Yogyakarta (corporate companies
and leisure travelers) are classified according to two categories based on the number of
rooms booked. The two categories are transients (bookings with less than ten rooms) and
groups (bookings of more than ten rooms).
The corporate and leisure traveler segments have various channel options for
booking rooms at Innside by Melia Yogyakarta. Both segments can book directly from
the web or application by accessing Melia.com. Besides, there are options for ordering
through the Online Travel Agency (OTA), tour agencies, and tour operations in

Melia Yogyakarta is by registering on the Melia PRO website. After registering, the three
channels can book hotel rooms for the corporate or leisure travelers who book through
them at a much lower price. Figure 1.17. shows the market segment map and booking
channel at Innside by Melia Yogyakarta.
Figure 1.18. shows that in 2018-2019, the largest revenue from Innside by Melia
Yogyakarta was generated from the Transient Corporate Company segment with an
average of Rp 1,674,302,115. The second place is the Transient Leisure Travelers

segment, with an average of Rp 811,903,897, and the last place is the Leisure Traveler
Group segment with an average of Rp 345,014,058. In general, the rating indicates that

Figure 1. 19. Revenue from Each Room Purchase Channel (Internal Data, 2020)

As an effort to improve the performance of Innside by Melia Yogyakarta, it is


difficult to always rely on the Corporate Company segment (transient and group).
However, the Corporate Company segment is the largest revenue-generating segment for
Innside by Melia Yogyakarta. General Manager of Innside by Melia Yogyakarta said that
guests arrival in the Corporate Company segment depends on the facilities for the
Meeting, Incentive, Convention, and Exhibition (MICE).
Innside by Melia Yogyakarta has limited MICE facilities. Currently, Innside by
Melia Yogyakarta has five meeting rooms, with the largest capacity being 300 packages
in 1 meeting room. In comparison, the other four meeting rooms only have a capacity of
between 60 - 120 packages. Innside by Melia Yogyakarta often loses opportunities to get
guests from the Corporate Company segment because they cannot fulfill their demand to
provide hotel rooms and meeting rooms of more than 300 packages. Hotel renovation or
build a new ballroom to add more significant MICE facilities is no longer possible due to
limited land for the hotel development area.
Realizing this, General Manager of Innside by Melia Yogyakarta strives to
improve the performance of Innside by Melia Yogyakarta by increasing the contribution
from the leisure travelers segment. Leisure travelers are considered to be the right target
because they have great potential to improve hotel performance. According to the data

17
obtained from BPS in Figure 1.1., the number of domestic and foreign tourists who come
to vacation in the Special Region of Yogyakarta each year increases and shows a positive
trend. Besides, the concept of "Bleisure," Business and Leisure hotels, and trendy hotel
designs with a touch of urban lifestyle brought by Innside by Melia Yogyakarta is suitable
for the needs of leisure travelers. Innside by Melia Yogyakarta already has leisure
facilities such as the Sky Deck Rooftop Pool and Bar, which can be an attraction for the
leisure travelers segment to stay at Innside by Melia Yogyakarta.
Besides trying to target leisure travelers, General Manager of Innside by Melia
Yogyakarta is also trying to increase room bookings through the Melia Website and
Mobile Application channel. Booking a room through this channel is classified as direct
booking, allowing Innside by Melia Yogyakarta to sell hotel rooms with a higher ARR
than other channels such as OTA, tour agencies, and tour operations. This benefit is
obtained because at OTA, tour agency, and tour operation, Innside by Melia Yogyakarta
needs to pay a high commission for room sales (15-25%). Suppose Innside by Melia
Yogyakarta can make the Melia Website and Mobile Application the main booking
channel for customers in each segment. In that case, the opportunity to increase revenue
at Innside by Melia Yogyakarta will be even greater.
However, according to General Manager of Innside by Melia Yogyakarta, there
were various problems when targeting leisure travelers through the Melia Website and
Mobile Application channel. The first problem is the brand awareness of Innside by Melia
Yogyakarta, which is still not good. The second problem is that using the Melia Website
and Mobile Application channels for booking hotel rooms is still low compared to OTA
or tour agencies and tour operations. In Figure 1.20. The level of awareness and popularity
of Innside by Melia Yogyakarta is still below four competing hotels. The four competitor
hotels are superior in terms of awareness in each province in Java Island.
As the first hotel in the Asia Pacific to use the Innside by Melia brand, consumers
often doubt and do not understand that this brand is a world-class brand from Melia Hotels
International with an excellent reputation. Innside by Melia Yogyakarta carries the
concept of an urban lifestyle hotel targeting the millennial generation (age 20 - 40 years).
This concept contrast with other Melia International Hotel brands in Indonesia, such as
Gran Melia Hotels and Resorts, ME by Melia, Sol by Melia. In Yogyakarta, this hotel is
different from the Melia Purosani, which has been in Yogyakarta for years. This lack of
understanding resulted in the issue of different expectations from consumers after staying.

18
Figure 1. 20. Awareness Level on Innside by Melia Compared to Competitor Hotels (Internal Data, 2020)

There are currently efforts to overcome the problems to awareness of Innside by


Melia Yogyakarta and efforts to increase room bookings via the Melia Website and
Mobile Application channel by utilizing social media platforms. Social media is the right
platform to build brand awareness for Innside by Melia Yogyakarta because most social
media users are millennials. These platforms follow the design of Innside by Melia
Yogyakarta, an urban lifestyle hotel with a target market for Corporate Companies and
especially leisure travelers from the middle to the upper-class millennial generation.

Social media can also be used to place a link to the Melia Website and Mobile
Application. With high traffic, it is hoped that the Innside by Melia Yogyakarta market
segment, especially leisure travelers, can click on the website link listed on the social
media platform then download the Melia Mobile Application or directly book a room.
Figure 1.21. shows profiles of social media users in Indonesia in 2019 based on age. Age
25-34 is the largest user with 19% male and 13% female; aged 18-24 is the second-largest
user with 16% male and 11% female. This data shows that most social media users in
Indonesia are millennials (aged 20-40 years).

Figure 1. 22. Social Media Advertising Audiences in Indonesia (Kemp, 2019: 34)

Suppose Innside by Melia Yogyakarta can appropriately manage social media. In


that case, this social media can reach a large number of potential markets according to the
desired target. Figure 1.22 shows that Facebook and Instagram are the most effective
social media platforms to reach the market through their advertisements. In 2019
Facebook has 130 million users, and Instagram has 62 million users who can be reached
through advertisements placed. This number is enormous and almost half of Indonesia's
population. This number is predicted to continue to increase with a growth of 5.1% for
the Instagram platform.

20
However, there are problems with the use of the Innside by Melia Yogyakarta
social media platform. Facebook and Instagram have not been managed properly and
effectively. The difficulty of making suitable and appropriate content for the target market
becomes a problem to gaining a follower's awareness and attractiveness, which leads to
the purchase of hotel products. The ineffectiveness of social media managed by Innside
by Melia Yogyakarta can be seen from the average engagement rate shown in Figure 1.23.
The average engagement rate for Instagram Innside by Melia Yogyakarta is
2.16%. This value is still not good because, with 4159 followers, the minimum value of
a good average engagement rate is 5.60%. The average engagement rate shows how the
Instagram followers of an account are actively and directly involved in the content created
by the Instagram account owner. The more interaction views, likes, and comments the
followers provide, the higher the average engagement rate of an account. The average
engagement rate value is important to increase brand awareness because it can increase
potential customers' desire to try to buy the products being sold and increase customer
loyalty to make repeat purchases.

Figure 1. 23. Average Engagement Rate Instagram Innside Yogyakarta (Internal Data, 2020)

Another indicator that can measure brand awareness is insight from the Instagram
profile of Innside by Melia Yogyakarta. With 4159 Instagram followers of Innside by
Melia Yogyakarta, 2079 accounts viewed Innside by Melia Yogyakarta's Instagram post
content (Accounts reached), then 2079 of these accounts viewed Innside by Melia
Yogyakarta's Instagram post content 13334 times (impression). Even though the
impression given to the post content of Innside by Melia Yogyakarta is quite high, the
post content is only seen by 2079 accounts. The post content is not spread too much to

21
other accounts. In addition to the relatively low number, 2079 of these accounts only saw
the post's content without any purchase interaction. This is shown by the number of taps
website links that are only clicked 20 times to continue to a product purchase decision.

Figure 1. 24. Insight on the Instagram profile of Innside Yogyakarta (Internal Data, 2020)

Similar to Instagram, Facebook Innside by Melia Yogyakarta is also not good at


increasing hotel brand awareness. It can be seen in Figure 1.25., 134 accounts are viewing
Innside by Melia Yogyakarta (Post Reach) Facebook post content and 256 accounts that
interact with Innside by Melia Yogyakarta (Post Engagement) Facebook post content.
Both post reach and post engagement are still too few to generate good brand awareness.
Moreover, the age demographics who view the Facebook post content of Innside by Melia
Yogyakarta are still dominated by accounts owned by people over the millennial
generation (over 40 years) who are not the target market for Innside by Melia Yogyakarta.
Based on the business issue previously described, the problem of Innside by Melia
Yogyakarta is the lack of customer awareness of each segment, especially the leisure
travelers segment towards hotels, and the lack of interest in booking rooms via the
Website and Mobile Application channels. The effort made by Innside by Melia
Yogyakarta to solve these two problems is building an effective social media platform.

22
Figure 1. 25. Insight on the Instagram profile of Innside Yogyakarta (Internal Data, 2020)

Therefore, the author tries to help research these problems so that the efforts to
build a social media platform by Innside by Melia Yogyakarta can run as expected. Social
media will be focused on Facebook and Instagram platforms with a customer experience
journey approach. The author will formulate the right social media marketing strategy
based on the customer purchase journey of potential consumers and existing consumers'
customer experience. Effective social media is expected to be a good marketing platform
to increase brand awareness for the leisure travelers segment and increase bookings
through the Melia Website and Mobile Application. Social media is also expected to be
a potential bridge for customers to buy Innside by Melia Yogyakarta products, add and
retain existing customers to make repeat purchases to increase hotel revenue and
performance in the following years after COVID-19 ends.

The interview is a data collection technique carried out through face-to-face and
direct questions and answers between researchers and sources. Interviews were conducted
at the General Manager of Innside by Melia Yogyakarta to obtain information about the
business issues and the hotel's internal conditions.

28
c. Survey
The survey is a method of collecting primary data by giving several questions to
individual respondents. The main focus was to see brand awareness and purchase decision
making through social media content consideration than it will relate to the customer's
experience. The tool used in the survey is a questionnaire that is distributed to target
respondents, namely potential customers and existing customers. The criteria for
respondents are as follows:

Table 2. 1 Criteria for Research Respondents (Primary Data, 2020)

Since this research is a quantitative study, it is possible to generalize data for large
populations outside the sample size. This study using the central limit theorem. According
to Chang and Huang (2006: 32), the central limit theorem states that if the study takes
sufficiently large random samples from the population with replacement, then the
sample's distribution will be approximately normally distributed. This theory will hold
whether the source population is normal or skewed, the sample size must be sufficiently
large n ≥ 30. Therefore, this study will take 50 samples of potential customers and existing
customers.
d. Literature study
A literature study was carried out to obtain secondary data. In this case, the
researcher does not directly collect the data himself but uses data or documents produced
by other parties. A literature study is carried out by collecting information through
articles, journals, reports, books, the internet, and other relevant references and can
support this research.

2.3. External Environment Analysis


2.3.1. PESTEL Analysis
PESTEL analysis is a framework or tool to analyze and monitor the external
marketing environmental factors. The purpose of conducting PESTEL analysis in this
research is to identify the external factors and uncertainty factors that affect the hotel
industry. PESTEL analysis is the most common approach for considering the external
business environment (Gupta, 2013: 35).
29
Analysis of PESTEL divides the general environment forces into six factors:
Political, Economic, Sociocultural, Technological, Environmental, and Legal factors.
PESTEL analysis below critically evaluates and identifies various strategies in Innside by
Melia Yogyakarta's competitive and dynamic environment.

Figure 2. 2. PESTEL Framework (Gupta, 2013: 35)

1. Political Factor
One political factor that has driven the development of the tourism sector in
Indonesia is its commitment to its development through various policies. The Indonesian
government has implemented several policies to promote the development of the tourism
industry. For example, this includes the passage of Presidential Regulation No. 21 of 2016
regarding Visa-Free Visits, a replacement for Presidential Regulation No. 69 of 2015
regarding Visa-Free Visits, which is intended to increase the number of foreign tourists
in Indonesia. Through this regulation, the government has allowed nationals of 169
countries to enter Indonesia without a visa.
Another policy is developing ten priority tourism destinations (DPP) and national
strategic territories (KSPN) through Presidential Regulation No. 3 of 2016. These ten
priority destinations were Lake Toba, Kelayang Cape, Lesung Cape, the Thousand
Islands, Borobudur Temple Tourist Park, Bromo-Tengger-Semeru, Mandalika Lombok,
Labuan Bajo, Morotai Island, and Wakatobi National Park.
Meanwhile, according to the Presidential Regulation, the ten KSPN are Kelayang
Cape (Bangka Belitung), Borobudur Temple (Central Java), Morotai (North Maluku),
Komodo Island-Labuan Bajo (East Nusa Tenggara), Wakatobi National Park (Southeast
Sulawesi), Thousand Islands (Jakarta Capital Region), Lake Toba (North Sumatra),
Bromo-Tengger-Semeru (East Java), Mandalika Lombok (West Nusa Tenggara), and
Lesung Cape (Banten).

30
The Indonesian Government, Bank Indonesia, and the Financial Services
Authority have promoted institutional coordination and policy synergy to accelerate the
development of the tourism sector. Nine policy strategies have been made priorities by
these institutions, namely (LPEM FEB UI, 2018: 33):
a. Increasing the tourism industry's performance by increasing attraction accessibility
and diversity and amenity quality while also strengthening promotion efforts and
improving tourism sector actors' capacity. This policy is intended to increase foreign
tourists and increase foreign exchange revenues from priority tourism destinations
such as Lake Toba, Borobudur–Joglosemar (Yogyakarta-Solo-Semarang), Mandalika,
Labuan Bajo, Bali, Jakarta, Banyuwangi, Bromo, and Riau Islands.
b. Improving tourism data and information by determining a specific nomenclature for
classifying the specific types of businesses involved in tourism for use in policy
formulation. Foreign tourists are surveyed to ascertain their travel tendencies,
expenses, and feedback regarding tourism destinations.
c. Increasing funding to support businesses in the tourism sector by providing credit
through People's Business Credit (Kredit Usaha Rakyat, KUR).
d. Intensifying the application of digital payment and economic systems at all tourism
destinations, with Bali becoming the program champion at the 2018 IMF-World Bank
Annual Meeting.
e. Increasing synergy between the central government, regional governments, and Bank
Indonesia in promoting tourism.
f. Improving land and air access to tourism destinations by:
• Accelerating Blimbingsari Airport, Banyuwangi, as an international airport.
• Increasing the passenger capacity and navigation facilities to increase air travel
frequency, including at Silangit Airport.
• Accelerating the development of the New Yogyakarta International Airport (NYIA)
and building a rail transport system from NYIA to Yogyakarta City.
g. Developing attractions integrated with tourism destinations, including Borobudur-
Joglosemar and Bali-Banyuwangi tourist packages.

31
Table 2. 2. Strategic Goals of the Tourism Sector, 2020-2024 (LPEM FEB UI, 2018: 4)
Strategic Goals Targets
1 Increasing the number of foreign tourists from 20 million (2019) to 30
million (2024).
Increasing foreign exchange revenue to USD 40 million.
Optimising the tourism potential of the archipelago.
2 Developing ten priority tourism destinations of international quality and
realising the principles of sustainable development.
Creating an international-standard management organisation and using
the brand "Wonderful Indonesia".
Improving the quality of tourism infrastructure as well as the
innovativeness of tourism products.
Increasing Indonesia's Tour and Travel Competitiveness Index (TTCI)
from 30th (2019) to 20th (2024).
3 Tripling MICE events and special-interest tourism activities over the
next five years.
Making Indonesia the best destination for MICE activities in ASEAN.
Seizing the opportunities presented by special interest tourism, including
ecotourism, halal tourism, underwater sports, senior tourism, cruise ship
tourism, and sailing.
4 Developing human resources in the tourism sector.

h. Improving the amenities at tourism destinations by:


• Accelerating the completion of the Kampung Ujung area of Labuan Bajo.
• Accelerating the land certification process for developing infrastructure Lake Toba.
• Improving waste management and providing clean water at tourism attractions.
i. Improving the quality of human resources and tourism activities by providing
vocational training to tourism sector workers.
Several additional policies have also provided a political basis for developing the
tourism sector in Indonesia. The Indonesian government has shown a political and
institutional commitment to developing the tourism industry. It has created policies for
promoting the tourism sector's growth, emphasized the need to develop local enterprises,
and prioritized local human resources (LPEM FEB UI, 2018: 4). The government's
commitment to accelerating the growth of the tourism sector can be seen in the Table 2.2.
Strategic Goals of the Tourism Sector, 2020-2024.

32
2. Economic Factor
Economic factors contributing to the tourism sector's growth exist at both the
domestic and global levels. At the domestic level, Indonesia's economy has shown
positive trends promoting the tourism sector's growth. For example, there has been a shift
(particularly among millennials), from goods-based consumption to experience-based
consumption since 2015. A shift in consumption patterns attributed to increased access
to technology and improved purchasing power. This tendency has driven recent
developments in Indonesia's tourism sector, particularly in the accommodation and food
and drink industries. As a result, leisure activities have significantly contributed to the
national economy.

Figure 2. 3. Leisure Consumption in Indonesia (Bank Indonesia, 2018: 26)

Meanwhile, millennials have become the dominant actors in e-commerce


transactions globally, particularly in the global tourism industry. For example, in 2017,
30.5% of persons who conducted e-commerce transactions were between the ages of 25
and 34; for comparison, 24.3% were aged 35-44; 18.8% were 18-24, 17.2% were aged
45-54; and 9.2% were aged 55-64 (Bank Indonesia, 2018: 26).
Several other economic factors at the global level have also positively affected
Indonesia's tourism industry. The global economy's performance has increased demand
for tourism, which has contributed to Indonesia's tourism industry and its GDP. The
increased accessibility of international travel has also driven global tourism through the
establishment of low-cost airlines, openness of international travel laws, widespread
availability of cultural and art festivals, improvements in transportation infrastructure
(even in the smallest villages), and rapid growth of industries supporting tourism such as
hotels and restaurants. The growth of Indonesia's tourism industry has also promoted

33
economic growth at the regional level, and tourists have become increasingly aware of
attractions in these areas.
The United Nations declared 2018 to be the International Year of Tourism,
recognizing its importance in many countries' economic development, including
Indonesia. This declaration contributed to increased international tourism, including in
Indonesia. The number of international tourists entering Indonesia increased between
2013 and 2018, positively affecting its foreign exchange revenue. Based on the
projection, the Indonesian government has sought to increase the number of foreign
tourists to 21.6 million by 2020, 31.8 million by 2025, 42.8 million by 2030, 57.5 million
by 2035, 65.1 million by 2040, and 73.6 million by 2045 (LPEM FEB UI, 2018:29).

Figure 2. 4. Contribution of the Tourism to Indonesia GDP in Billion Rupiah (BPS, 2017: 50)

The tourism sector's contribution to Indonesia's GDP has increased over time. In
2012, Indonesia's tourism sector contributed Rp 593.4 billion to the country's GDP. This
GDP increased by 4.16% in 2013, reaching Rp 618.1 billion; it reached Rp 682.5 billion
in 2014, and Rp 829.9 billion in 2018. The tourism sector is expected to contribute 6.6%
of Indonesia's GDP by 2028 directly.

3. Sociocultural Factor
Every country has different social conditions; the same is true for Indonesia,
which has hundreds of ethnic and cultural groups. This ethnic and cultural diversity can
attract tourists, both international and domestic, and thereby support the tourism industry
(Bacsi, 2017: 26). This ethnic and cultural diversity cannot be separated from Indonesia’s
geographic diversity. The archipelagic country consists of more than 17,000 countries
inhabited by some 300 ethnic groups divided into four major cultural groups. Each of

34
Indonesia’s 34 provinces has its languages, ethnic groups, religions, and history.
Indonesians can trace their roots to China, Europe, India, and the Malay Peninsula.
Despite being the world’s largest Muslim-majority country, Indonesia also has
large Protestant, Catholic, Hindu, and Buddhist populations. This demographic diversity
has, in turn, driven diversity in the tourism sector. Take, for example, dance; East Java is
famed for its Reog Ponorogo, while Bali is known for the Kecak dance. Traditional
cultural practices, passed from generation to generation, can also attract tourists to
different archipelago parts.
Another social factor that has supported the Indonesian tourism industry is its age
demographic. The country’s population is predominantly of productive age (15–64 years
old). Furthermore, Bank Indonesia (2018: 7) shows that in 2017, most persons (46.3%)
who used online travel booking services in Indonesia were between the ages of 25 and
34. The dominance of productive age persons helps drive the tourism sector, as it drives
consumption and promotes labor absorption. Meanwhile, there has been a shift in
consumption patterns within Indonesian society. Millennials’ consumption is dominated
by experience- and leisure-based activities such as tourism. In Indonesia, tourism has also
been driven by the growth of the middle class, who tend to have more time and money to
spend on entertainment. The growth of the middle class in Indonesia is reflected in shifts
in the country’s consumption patterns. Since 2015, the amount of money spent on clothing
and expenses has decreased; at the same time, spending on entertainment and lifestyle
activities has increased. In 2017, for example, spending on restaurants and hotels
increased by 5.6% over the previous year, while spending on communication increased
by 5.2% (Bank Indonesia, 2018:7).

Figure 2. 5. Types of Household Consumption (Bank Indonesia, 2018: 7)

35
4. Technological Factor
According to Atembe (2015: 224), Technological advances have also contributed
significantly to the tourism sector, including supply and demand. These advances
(particularly the increased access to technology and connectivity), have also accelerated
the shift towards increased leisure sector consumption. The presence of new technologies
has directly transformed the entire concept of travel and tourism, both from a supply and
a demand perspective. The use of these new technologies has made tourism increasingly
accessible. Today, travel agencies can easily reach global audiences, while consumers no
longer have to visit agents' offices. Technology has enabled the integration of tourism
business operations and increased the tourism industry's value chain.
The Indonesian government has also utilized technology to develop and promote
the tourism sector through social media, as seen in the "Wonderful Indonesia"
advertisements that have been uploaded to YouTube and other websites. Through social
media, the promotion of Indonesia as a destination for tourism has become increasingly
significant. Technology (particularly social media and other internet-based media) have
enabled the government to effectively reach global and domestic markets; this has
become particularly true as internet penetration rates have increased both in Indonesia
and worldwide. In Indonesia (social media-particularly Facebook and Twitter), has
become increasingly common as internet penetration rates have increased. Indeed, there
remains significant room for growth; in March 2017, Indonesia only had an internet
penetration rate of 50%. The number of internet users in Indonesia has increased from 84
million in 2017; 95.2 million in 2018; and 107.2 million in early 2019. The number of
internet users in the country is predicted to increase to 119.4 million by 2020, 149.9
million by 2023. This trend has driven an exponential increase in online business
activities, including in the tourism sector.
Today, consumers can purchase travel products such as flights, hotels, and car
rentals directly from company websites or online travel agents. Indeed, according to
Marzo et al. (2019: 192), an increasingly large percentage of Fully Independent Travelers
(FITs) use online travel agents such as Booking.com, Expedia, Hotwire, Kayak,
Lastminute, MakeMyTrip, TripAdvisor, Trivago.
Meanwhile, TripAdvisor's websites permit tourists to post about their experiences
with hotels, restaurants, and other travel products. Such companies generally earn money
through advertisements on their websites. Online travel product sales have increased over
the past few years. In 2016, online travel was a USD 564.9 billion industry; this figure is

36
expected to reach USD 817.5 billion by 2020. In Indonesia, the online travel industry was
worth USD 5 billion in 2015, and it is expected to reach USD 9.33 billion in 2019.

Figure 2. 6. Digital Travel Sales in Indonesia in Billion US $ (Statista, 2019)

Technological advances have also positively affected the economy, primarily by


improving efficiency and innovation (thereby reducing the cost of economic and social
transactions). Despite their high initial costs, digital economic platforms enable
production to be upscaled rapidly with lower direct cost margins. Given this efficiency,
the number of online transactions involving goods and services has increased rapidly. The
value of these e-sales has increased rapidly, from only USD 0.56 billion in 2011 to an
estimated USD 4.49 billion in 2016. In 2017, some 41% of Indonesians purchased at least
one product or service online-up from 26% of Indonesians in 2016. That year, online sales
were worth a cumulative USD 5.3 billion. This number shows that Indonesia has
considerable potential for future growth.

Figure 2. 7. Trends of Online Goods and Services Transaction in Billion US$ (Statista, 2019)

However, Indonesia does face considerable obstacles in developing its internet


technologies and infrastructure. One of these is connection speed. Indonesia has the
slowest cellular internet connections in the Asia Pacific region, ranking 106th globally.

37
As such, it ranked significantly behind Singapore (4th), Vietnam (61st), Malaysia (74th),
Cambodia (78th), and the Philippines. Similarly, Indonesia ranked 93rd globally in
broadband speed, behind Singapore (1st), Vietnam (56th), Malaysia (62nd), and the
Philippines (91st) (Goyal et al., 2018: 3666).

5. Environmental Factor
Ecotourism is the most discusses global issue lately in Indonesia. Ecotourism is
one of the unique tourist interest activities that have a low impact on nature tourism.
Ecotourism in the era of sustainable development and tourism's mission must be a
minimum negative impact, both on the environmental resources and on local socio-
cultural values. When all tourism development can not is separated from the negative
impacts, such as ecosystem disturbances in ecotourism objects when visited by many
tourists, there are many conflicts of interest between ecotourism management with local
communities, especially regarding the distribution of benefits and accessibility.
Indonesian tourism is a high concentration of activities in the most developed
provinces, such as Jakarta, Bali, Yogyakarta, and several places in North Sumatera, North
Sulawesi, and South Sulawesi (Butarbutar and Soemarno, 2013: 99). These facts indicate
that many other provinces have ecotourism resources and unique traditional culture but
have not been utilized properly. Tourism attractions, such as heritage tours, traditional
small towns, natural scenery, and flora fauna of wild animals, spread throughout the
country. However, its activities are still limited to some natural regions. This activity
suggests that ecotourism has a vital role in the context of sustainable development because
it offers the high potencies for the private sectors to develop and utilize the potential of
natural resources and to support community economic development, particularly in rural
areas surrounding the ecotourism destinations.
Environmental factors also relate to the surrounding environment and the impact
of ecological aspects. This element becomes more important because it will change the
climate and weather that affect the hospitality and tourism industries. The hotel industry
treats the customer with a hot shower, clean linen changed daily, air conditioner, and other
facilities. In contrast, hotels contribute 60 million tons of Co2 emissions annually due to
wasteful practices and oblivious guests. According to Abeydeera and Karunasena (2019:
3), hotels consume large amounts of energy, 61% of energy is consumed in the form of
electricity, and pay high prices for their energy, as they are commercial establishments.
At the same time, the most significant contribution of gas emissions comes from
electricity and heat.

38
Figure 2. 8. Global Gas Emission in Hotel Industry (Abeydeera and Karunasena, 2019: 3)

6. Legal Factor
Legal factors refer to applicable laws and regulations in Indonesia and their impact
on the hotel industry's performance. These laws and regulations include union laws, labor
laws, fair trade laws, licensing laws, and other laws that affect a hospitality business,
according to Law No. 13 of 2003 on Manpower Law. Probationary periods of up to three
months are permitted for employees on indefinite-term contracts, provided the trial period
has been agreed upon. The company cannot impose a probationary period on employees
with a fixed-term contract. However, it gives the company authority to hire people who
are most suitable for a position.
Moreover, in 2015 the Indonesian government provided 45 countries visa-free
access to Indonesia (Presidential Regulation No.69/2015 concerning Exception of Visit
Visa). This policy change was made in order to attract more foreign visitors. In March
2016, the number of countries whose residents were allowed to enter Indonesia without a
visa was raised again through Presidential Regulation No. 21/2016 concerning Exception
of Visit Visa, which means there are now 169 countries that not need a visa to enter and
stay in Indonesia.
Minister of State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) issued Circular Letter No. SE-
08/MBU/2014 concerning efficiency and savings of BUMN Operating Costs. This
circular letter aims to improve company performance and service performance through
efficiency and savings in BUMN Operating Cost in official travel, protocols, and meeting.

39
2.3.2. Competitor Analysis
Based on in-depth interviews conducted with General Manager of Innside by
Melia Yogyakarta, there are four hotels in the Special Region of Yogyakarta that is
considered competitors to Innside by Melia Yogyakarta. These four hotels are considered
competitors based on having the same target market as Innside by Melia Yogyakarta,
namely business and leisure travelers. Besides, competing hotels have the same stars,
namely 4-5 stars, and the same number of rooms and facilities. The four hotels are the
Sheraton Hotel Mustika Yogyakarta Resort & Spa, Novotel Yogyakarta, Sahid Jaya
Yogyakarta Hotel & Convention, and Grand Mercure Yogyakarta Adi Sucipto. Table 2.3
shows the comparison between Innside by Melia Yogyakarta and competitor hotels.

Based on Table 2.3, each competing hotel has almost the same specifications as
Innside by Melia Yogyakarta. However, there are several differences in terms of
advantages in each specification. Overall, the Sheraton Hotel Mustika Yogyakarta Resort
& Spa is the most superior hotel among other hotels. This hotel can install the highest
published rate with the complete facilities. Consumers can choose various room types
because this hotel also provides the most hotel room types, among other hotels. Besides,
consumer awareness of the social media of Sheraton Hotel Mustika Yogyakarta is also
the highest among others. This awareness is shown by the number of Instagram followers,
totaling 16,600 accounts, and Facebook totaling 6,522 accounts. Sheraton Hotel Mustika
Yogyakarta is almost superior in all aspects of specifications.
Grand Mercure Yogyakarta has the advantage of having the largest number of
rooms than other hotels, namely 305 rooms. The hotel's published rate is the second
largest after Sheraton, which is Rp 650,000. It is a significant advantage if Grand Mercure
40
Yogyakarta can maximize room occupancy and increase the published rate. This hotel
provides facilities for Business Travelers in meeting rooms, although not as big as Sahid
Jaya Yogyakarta and Sheraton Hotel Mustika Yogyakarta. However, Grand Mercure
Yogyakarta somewhat lacks in terms of social media. The hotel's Instagram and Facebook
followers are the second largest after the Sheraton Hotel Mustika Yogyakarta. However,
the gap in the number of followers is huge. Grand Mercure Yogyakarta has 5,500
Instagram followers and 2,286 Facebook followers. Grand Mercure Yogyakarta tries to
focus on Instagram as a marketing tool.
Novotel Yogyakarta and Sahid Hotel Yogyakarta are hotels with the lowest
publish rates among other hotels. The facilities of these two hotels are also not as
complete as other hotels. However, Novotel Yogyakarta has an advantage in social media.
They are trying to focus on Instagram and Facebook in terms of media marketing, unlike
other hotels that focus on just one social media. Sahid Hotel Yogyakarta has the advantage
of having the most extensive and most considerable meeting rooms and ballrooms, among
other hotels, namely one ballroom with a capacity of 2000 people and ten meeting rooms
with the largest capacity of 400 people. This hotel is indeed very focused on pursuing
business traveler consumers.
Overall, Innside by Melia Yogyakarta is in a middle position when compared to
its competitor hotels. The number and capacity of the Innside by Melia Yogyakarta
meeting rooms are among the lowest among other hotels. Innside is only superior to
Novotel Yogyakarta. To pursue the business traveler segment, Innside by Melia
Yogyakarta needs to increase its capacity. However, Innside by Melia Yogyakarta is
superior in terms of the concept of getting the Leisure Travelers segment from the
millennial generation. Even though each hotel has equal facilities, Innside by Melia
Yogyakarta has a swimming pool facility in the form of a Sky Deck with a model and
ambiance tailored and designed for the millennial generation. It is different from other
competitor hotels whose leisure facilities are more for family holidays, not especially
millennials. However, Innside by Melia Yogyakarta needs to improve social media
performance, which can be a tool to attract potential millennial generation customers.
Because based on the number of followers, Innside by Melia Yogyakarta is inferior to
other hotels and is only relatively equal to Sahid Hotel Yogyakarta.

2.4. Internal Environment Analysis
2.4.1. VRIO Analysis

Figure 2. 9. VRIO Analysis (Rothaermel, 2013: 91)

VRIO is an acronym for Valuable (V), Rare (R), Imitate (I), and Organization (O).
The VRIO framework is used to analyze the implications of corporate resources on
competitiveness. If a company has resources that conform to the VRIO framework, it can
gain a competitive advantage. The application of the Innside by Melia Yogyakarta
resource-based display using VRIO is described in table 2.4 below.
The VRIO analysis at Innside by Melia Yogyakarta was carried out by dividing
the types of resources in advance. Resources are divided into tangible and intangible.
Tangible resources are resources that can be seen directly physically. Meanwhile,
intangible resources are the opposite of tangible, resources that cannot be seen directly
by the physical.
In Tangible Resources, there are nine identified resources. 1) hotel building and
2) hotel rooms. Hotel buildings and hotel rooms are a precious asset for Innside by Melia
Yogyakarta because without buildings and rooms, this hotel will not stand up and make
money. Hotel building and rooms are not something rare and not easy to imitate. This is
because every hotel must have a building and rooms. Besides, there are many hotels in
the Special Region of Yogyakarta with vertical buildings such as Innside by Melia
Yogyakarta. Therefore, the impact of competitive parity is that many companies have
equal performance in hotel buildings, such as Innside by Melia Yogyakarta.

3) Restaurant and Bar (Syndeo) and 4) Sky Deck Rooftop Pool and Bar. These
two resources have in common; they both have bars and are valuable because they can
make money from guests who order Food and Beverage (F&B). The difference is that
restaurants and bars (Syndeo) are not considered rare because it is common for every
hotel to have a restaurant. However, Sky Deck Rooftop and Bar is classified as rare
because hotel guests can do various activities such as lunch, dinner, and swimming while
enjoying Mount Merapi's view and the atmosphere of the streets of Yogyakarta City
without being obstructed by any buildings. These facilities and beautiful views are
precious and become an attraction for guests to take pictures. However, this facility is
relatively easy to imitate. Each hotel with a vertical building shape can change its rooftop
concept like that. Therefore, the impact of restaurants and bars (Syndeo) is competitive
parity, while Sky Deck is a temporary competitive advantage.

43
5) InFit Gym Center and 6) Meeting rooms. InFit Gym Center is classified as
valuable as a complementary facility for a hotel and can generate money for companies.
However, InFit Gym Center is not a rare and easy to imitate facility. It is common for
every hotel to have gym facilities as with meeting rooms. Hotels in Yogyakarta are
starting to expand into the MICE hotel type. Many previously did not have meeting
rooms, built new meeting rooms, and even built a ballroom. Therefore, the impact that
occurs on the InFit Gym Center and Meeting rooms is competitive parity.
7) Social Media, 8) Website, and 9) Mobile Application. Innside by Melia
Yogyakarta has social media in the form of Instagram and Facebook, a website melia.com
and a mobile application that can be downloaded at the app store and play store. These
three resources are valuable for hotels because they are used as the most massive hotel
marketing media, considering that the current era uses digital. However, in the end, these
three resources are not rare and easy to imitate. Almost all hotels have this medium to
market their products and services. Besides, there are weaknesses that Innside by Melia
Yogyakarta has not been able to maximize these three resources to market its hotel.
Therefore, the impact that occurs on social media, websites, and mobile applications is
competitive parity.
In intangible resources, there are six identified resources. 1) The Brand of Melia
International and 2) The Innside by Melia Trademark. These two resources are valuable
because Melia is a well-known brand globally in the hospitality sector. Its influence will
raise the image of a hotel, which also bears the name Melia. Then the use of the Innside
by Melia Yogyakarta trademarks, which is the first Melia hotel in Southeast Asia to use
the name Innside. This could be an advantage in itself for creating a curious effect on
consumers for this emerging hotel. These two resources are classified as rare and difficult
to imitate, especially in the Yogyakarta area, because Melia's policy only builds 1 Melia
brand in 1 region/city. However, since its establishment for two years and with the
advantages of these two resources, Innside by Melia Yogyakarta has not achieved
satisfactory performance in terms of revenue. Therefore, these two resources are
classified as a temporary competitive advantage. Because if Innside by Melia Yogyakarta
cannot change the advantages of value, rare and not easily imitated into revenue, it will
be a bad thing for the company and will be overtaken by other competitors.
3) Human assets and 4) Networks with The Alana Yogyakarta. These two
resources are valuable for Innside by Melia Yogyakarta because no one runs this hotel
without workers. Besides, several workers at Innside by Melia Yogyakarta are workers at
The Alana Yogyakarta. Even though the two hotels are different operators, they are still
44
under one owner, so that often there is a collaboration between the two hotels. Human
assets are not rare and easy to imitate by other companies. Other companies can also
recruit their employees and train them to become professional employees. The impact of
human assets on these assets is competitive parity. Meanwhile, the impact of the
collaboration with The Alana Yogyakarta is Sustained Competitive Advantage because it
is rare, not easy to imitate. Other hotels are not much like this. Besides, this cooperation
is running well and mutually beneficial. When the Alana hotel guests are full, and
someone still wants to book, they will be directed to Innside. Likewise with Innside to
Alana. Both overnight and event guests.
5) Hotel concept and 6) Culture at work. Innside by Melia Yogyakarta has a
holistic business and leisure (Bleisure) concept with a touch of an urban lifestyle hotel.
This concept is valuable because it can differentiate between Innside by Melia and most
hotels in Yogyakarta. This concept is finally in line with the culture at work. Workers at
Innside never wear formal uniforms. They are free to dye their hair. This is a rare thing
in the world of hospitality. However, this concept and this work culture can easily be
copied. Until now, the concept is going well and can get a positive response from
customers. Meanwhile, a relaxed culture like this increases the morale of the workers.
The impact of the hotel concept and culture at work is a temporary competitive advantage.

2.4.2. Segmentation, Targeting, Positioning (STP)


According to Kotler and Keller (2009), Segmentation, Targeting, and Positioning
(STP) is a framework that companies can use to identify their consumers accurately and
formulate them in the form of product positions in consumers' eyes. This STP is a critical
factor in winning the competition by seeing the market from a unique angle and different
from competitors. After conducting external and internal analysis, here are the STP
formulated for Innside by Melia Yogyakarta.

1. Segmentation
Travelers who visit the Special Region of Yogyakarta are very diverse. In general,
travelers visit the Special Region of Yogyakarta for business and tourist purposes. Table
2.5 describes the tourist market segmentation in the Special Region of Yogyakarta based
on geography, demographics, psychographics, and behavior.

of their jobs are private employees with middle to upper social class. In behavior, the
primary purpose of tourists to Yogyakarta is a vacation and then business trips. The

46
Based on existing segments, Innside by Melia Yogyakarta's target market is
Business and Leisure travelers from the millennial generation (26-40 years). Leisure and
Business travelers are the right markets to target. Although, for now, the competition to
reach the business travelers segment in the Special Region of Yogyakarta is quite tight
because competitor hotels have more complete MICE facilities such as meeting rooms
with a larger capacity than Innside by Melia Yogyakarta. Another problem is the limited
development space for the Innside by Melia Yogyakarta to build more meeting rooms for
business travelers. Opportunities for Innside by Melia Yogyakarta to reach the leisure
travelers segment are greater than business travelers because tourists come to Yogyakarta
mostly for vacation. The leisure facilities owned by Innside by Melia Yogyakarta are
classified as unique, rare, and valuable because they are different from competing hotels.
These leisure facilities need to be maximized to achieve the best performance of Innside
by Melia Yogyakarta.

3. Positioning
With a target market, namely Business and Leisure Travelers from the millennial
generation, the positioning of Innside by Melia Yogyakarta is "Urban Lifestyle Hotels for
Smart Business and Leisure Travelers."

2.5. Consumer Analysis

2.5.1. Profile of Respondents


The initial step in processing this questionnaire data is defining each persona's
profile based on gender, domicile, age, profession, average income per month, and

(18%) and Semarang with seven respondents (14%).
This data shows that most customers who have stayed at Innside by Melia
Yogyakarta (Persona 1) come from the Special Region of Yogyakarta and around Central
Java such as Semarang and Solo. Meanwhile, people from DKI Jakarta are potential
customers for Innside by Melia Yogyakarta. The majority of DKI Jakarta people are
aware of Innside by Melia Yogyakarta even though they have never stayed overnight
(Persona 2) and many DKI Jakarta people have traveled to the Special Region of
Yogyakarta even though they do not know Innside by Melia Yogyakarta (Persona 3).

49
Based on the respondent's age, both personas 1, 2 and 3 are in the age range 21-
35 years. The number of respondents aged 26-30 years dominates each persona. This data
shows that all respondents per persona belong to the millennial generation.
According to Moreno et al. (2017: 135), Millennial generation was born in 1980
- 2000. The millennial generation is a generation with a population that dominates among
other generations and has high purchasing power, thus making many companies make the
millennial generation an attractive target market for the products they sell.

millennial generation who are also the target market of Innside by Melia Yogyakarta.

Figure 2. 14. Profession of Respondent for Each Persona (Internal Data, 2020)

Respondents in Persona 1 majority work as freelancers with 12 respondents


(24%). Then continue with the profession of general employees and government
employees with 11 respondents (22%).
Respondents in Persona 2 majority are general employees with 19 respondents
(38%). The second-largest profession is a college student with 11 respondents (22%). The
third-largest profession is entrepreneurs and government employees with seven
respondents (14%).
Like Persona 2 respondents, most Persona 3 respondents work as general
employees with 21 respondents (42%). The second-largest profession is a college student
with 19 respondents (38%), and government employees with seven respondents (14%).

50
Based on these profession data, general employees are the largest profession in
the three Persona. People with the general employee's profession can be a good target for
Innside by Melia Yogyakarta because they already have more flexible income and free
time to become leisure travelers than government employees.
Existing customers at Innside by Melia Yogyakarta (Persona 1) are slightly
different from potential customers (Persona 2 and 3). College students are a large number
of potential customers. Meanwhile, college students who stay at Innside by Melia
Yogyakarta are only in fourth place with eight respondents (16%). Apart from general
employees, college students can be a good option to target Innside by Melia Yogyakarta
because they have more free time for vacations (leisure travelers) than those already
working. However, not all college students have income above average because many
depend on their parents' money. This analysis can be considered for Innside by Melia
Yogyakarta to be more selective in targeting consumers from college students.

> Rp 7.500.000

Figure 2. 15. Average Income per Month of Respondent for Each Persona (Internal Data, 2020)

Based on average income per month, most persona 1 respondents have an average
income per month of Rp 3,000,001 - Rp 5,000,000 with 23 respondents (46%). The next
is Rp 5,000,001 - Rp 7,500,000 with 15 respondents (30%).
Respondents in Persona 2 and Persona 3 majority have the same income, Rp
5,000,001 – Rp 7,500,000 with 20 respondents in Persona 2 (40%) and 21 respondents in
Persona 3 (42%). The next average income per month is Rp 3,000,001 - Rp 5,000,000
with 14 respondents in Persona 2 and 3 (28%).

51
Based on these data, potential customers (Persona 2 and 3) have higher incomes
than existing customers at Innside by Melia Yogyakarta (Persona 1). However, several
factors influence the average income per month, such as the different UMR in each
region. The majority of persona 1 respondents are domiciled in the Special Region of
Yogyakarta and around Central Java, where the UMR is different from Persona 2 and 3
respondents who are mostly domiciled in DKI Jakarta. However, this still makes potential
customers (Persona 2 and 3) an attractive market for Innside by Melia Yogyakarta to
target. With higher income, it is hoped that they will be able to vacation in the Special
Region of Yogyakarta and stay at Innside by Melia Yogyakarta with a greater frequency
than existing customers.

Figure 2. 16. Average Expenditure of Respondent for Each Persona (Internal Data, 2020)

In the average expenditure data for consumption per month, the majority of
Persona 1 spends Rp 1,000,001 - Rp 2,500,000 for consumption, with a total of 20
respondents (40%). Then the next is Rp 2,500,001 - Rp 4,000,000 with a total of 17
respondents (34%).
Whereas in Persona 2 and 3, majority spent Rp 2,500,001 - Rp 4,000,000 for
consumption with a total of 24 respondents (48%). Then the next expenditure is Rp
1,000,001 - Rp 2,500,000 with 22 respondents in Persona 2 (44%) and 17 respondents in
Persona 3 (34%).
According to the Boston Consulting Group (2013: 6), most Persona 1 respondents
are middle-class Indonesians (consumption expenditure is between Rp 1,000,000 - Rp
2,500,000). While the majority of Persona 2 and 3 respondents are Indonesian residents
with the Upper Middle class (between Rp 2,500,000 - Rp 4,000,000).

52
Based on Table 2.6 regarding the target consumers of Innside by Melia
Yogyakarta, the company is targeting markets with middle and upper-middle social class.
Existing and potential customers in all Persona are currently under the social class profile.
However, it is hoped that most potential customers in the Upper Middle class can become
loyal customers of Innside by Melia. The author assumes that the higher the expenditure,
there is a possibility that the potential customers' willingness and frequency to spend their
money on vacation will be higher, especially for a vacation to the Special Region of
Yogyakarta and staying at the Innside by Melia Yogyakarta.

2.5.2. Preliminary
The preliminary stage is the questions asked to the respondents of each Persona
to find out their behavior while on vacation in the Special Region of Yogyakarta, their
behavior when using electronic devices and internet media every day, also their awareness
of hotel brands in the Special Region of Yogyakarta and hotel operators in all region. The
following is an explanation of each question at the preliminary stage:

Leisure/Staycation Business and Leisure

Figure 2. 17. The Most Frequent Travel by The Respondent of Each Persona (Internal Data, 2020)

In Figure 2.17, respondents of Persona 1, 2 and 3 travel more frequently to the


Special Region of Yogyakarta for leisure/staycation purposes than for business leisure
(Bleisure) purposes. This data shows that the market for leisure travelers in the Special
Region of Yogyakarta is bigger than Bleisure travelers.
Innside by Melia Yogyakarta can consider this data. With the Bleisure hotel
concept, which is currently still being implemented, it turns out that more existing
customers (Persona 1) stay at Innside by Melia Yogyakarta for leisure purposes compared
to Bleisure purposes. Given that the number of leisure travelers to the Yogyakarta is

53
higher than Bleisure travelers, it will be advantageous for Innside by Melia Yogyakarta
if they focus on changing their positioning as a hotel with a concept for leisure travelers.

2. The frequency of staying at hotels in the Special Region of Yogyakarta

Table 2. 7. The Frequency of Staying at Hotels in Yogyakarta (Internal Data, 2020)

Very often 5 11 6 5
Means 3.50 3.10 3.11
Standard Deviation 1.19 1.05 1.13
Interpretation Often Quite often Quite often

Based on the data in Table 2.7., Respondents in Persona 1 often stay at hotels in
the Special Region of Yogyakarta compared to respondents in Persona 2 and 3. The
standard deviation value of the three Persona is lower than the mean value of each
Persona. This value indicates that each Persona's answer to the frequency of staying at
hotels in the Special Region of Yogyakarta tends to be similar and refers to the mean
value of each Persona.
The difference in frequency can occur because most respondents in Persona 1
(existing customers) reside in the Special Region of Yogyakarta and Central Java. It is
closer to the Special Region of Yogyakarta than Persona 2 and 3 respondents who are
mostly domiciled in DKI Jakarta. However, with a longer distance than Persona 1,
Persona 2 and 3 respondents still travel and stay at hotels in the Special Region of
Yogyakarta quite often, so they can still be right potential customers for Innside by Melia
Yogyakarta.

3. The average length of stay at hotels in the Special Region of Yogyakarta


Based on the data presented in Figure 2.18., Respondents in Persona 1, 2, and 3
both have the most habit of staying at hotels in the Special Region of Yogyakarta for three
days two nights. Then the next most are two days one night. This data shows that
respondents in Persona 1, 2, and 3 feel that the ideal duration for a vacation in the Special
Region of Yogyakarta is three days two nights.

tourist who has a vacation to the Special Region of Yogyakarta is 1.5 nights, or if round
it will be two nights three days. This data is useful for Innside by Melia Yogyakarta to
prepare hotel packages, promos and marketing strategies to stay for three days two nights
which can provide the best experience for hotel guests.

Based on the number of people who traveled to the Special Region of Yogyakarta
and stayed at hotels, respondents in Persona 1 and 2 were group leisure travelers.
Meanwhile, Persona 3 is a personal leisure traveler. Persona 1 and 2 are called group
leisure travelers because most respondents choose to stay at hotels in the Special Region
of Yogyakarta in large numbers (4 people). Persona 3 is called personal leisure travelers

55
because they prefer to travel to the Special Region of Yogyakarta with fewer people or
only with their partners.
However, the number of Persona 3 respondents who chose to travel to the Special
Region of Yogyakarta in a group was slightly different from those who chose to travel
personally, precisely 16 respondents (32%), 4% different from those who chose to go
personally, precisely 18 respondents (36%). So it can be concluded that most leisure
travelers to Yogyakarta Special Region are those who depart in large groups (4 or more
people). This data can be a reference for Innside by Melia Yogyakarta to provide hotel
services from rooms, facilities, promos, and marketing strategies that can provide the best
experience for group leisure travelers.

than other hotel classes in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. Next, if not at a 4-star hotel,
Persona 1, 2 and 3 respondents will book at a 3-star hotel. Innside by Melia Yogyakarta
is a 4-star hotel, so Innside by Melia Yogyakarta has the opportunity to enter the main list
as a destination hotel for potential customers (Persona 2 and 3) to book. Besides, Persona
1 as an existing customer has the opportunity to re-order Innside by Melia Yogyakarta
because, in hotel class, Innside by Melia Yogyakarta also meets their preference
requirements.

respondents and Persona 2 and 3. respondents Persona 1 is more aware of Novotel
Yogyakarta. In contrast, respondents Persona 2 and 3 are more aware of the Sheraton
Hotel Mustika Yogyakarta.
However, the number of Persona 1 respondents who are aware of the Sheraton
Hotel Mustika Yogyakarta is slightly different from those aware of Novotel Yogyakarta.
As many as 40 Persona 1 respondents (80%) were aware of the Sheraton Hotel Mustika
Yogyakarta, 42 respondents (84%) were aware of Novotel Yogyakarta. It can be said that
all Persona have a strong level of awareness of the Sheraton Hotel Mustika Yogyakarta
compared to other competing hotels of Innside by Melia Yogyakarta.
Sheraton Hotel Mustika Yogyakarta is Innside by Melia Yogyakarta's strongest
competitor in reaching leisure travelers consumers. The awareness of leisure travelers
consumers at the Sheraton Hotel Mustika Yogyakarta is high. This awareness level can
also be proven by the number of social media followers that far exceeds Innside by Melia
Yogyakarta and other competitors. Based on Table 2.3 regarding the competitor analysis,
Sheraton Hotel Mustika Yogyakarta has 16,600 Instagram followers and 6,522 Facebook
accounts. Sheraton Hotel Mustika Yogyakarta's social media account can be a reference

Not much different from the level of awareness of each persona, Sheraton Hotel
Mustika Yogyakarta is the hotel most booked and used as a place for travel by respondents
Persona 1, 2, and 3. Even though 26 respondents from Persona 1 (52%) have experience
staying at Novotel Yogyakarta, the number of respondents is only slightly different from
Persona 1 respondents who have stayed at the Sheraton Hotel Mustika Yogyakarta as
many as 23 respondents (46%).
This data proves that Sheraton Hotel Mustika Yogyakarta's efforts to increase
awareness of leisure travelers in the Special Region of Yogyakarta can be generated quite
well into their decision to carry out the booking process and try to stay. This effort can be
a good example for Innside by Melia Yogyakarta to analyze to generate potential
customers to try to stay overnight and keep existing customers re-ordered.

2.5.3. Customer Experience Journey


According to Folstad et al. (2014: 413), the customer journey is a process that the
customer goes through to achieve specific goals that involve one or more service
providers. The customer journey is essential to understand because of the increasing
complexity in providing services that customers want. Researchers and practitioners often
use the customer journey approach to support a company's design and service
management to attract potential customers, which leads to the decision to try their
company's services.
Besides, customers expectations of service are about how they receive the
experience and how they perform the experience. Therefore, the experience of existing
customers is also essential to define. Every step that the customer feels is a bad
experience, must be improved to create satisfaction that leads to re-ordering of the service
(Stokes and Moore, 2017: 16).
The world today is dominated by millennials who cannot be separated from
technology. Technology is used by them for activities, seeking information, entertainment
and others. By improving technology, a company can create added value from brands and
products according to what consumers want (Moreno et al., 2017: 137).

According to Persona 3 members, social media platforms also have the most
significant influence for them to be aware of hotels in the Special Region of Yogyakarta
beyond OTA and media feedback, although the last two media also influence Persona 3
members to be aware. Official hotel websites and social messengers only provide enough
influence for Persona 3 aware of hotels in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. Besides,
each internet media category's standard deviation value is lower than each category's
mean value. This value shows that the responses of Persona 3 members to touchpoint
awareness of each internet media category tend to be similar and refer to each internet
media category's mean value.
The touchpoint awareness data for the internet media category shows that all three
personas feel that social media, OTA and media feedback make them aware of Innside
by Melia Yogyakarta and other hotels in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. However,
Persona 1 (existing customer) and 2 (potential customer) feel that OTA has influenced
them to be aware of Innside by Melia Yogyakarta. Meanwhile, Persona 2 and 3 (potential
customers) feel that social media is more influential than other sources.
This data shows that even though there is a policy from Melia Hotels International
to limit hotel room sales via OTA, in fact, OTA has the most significant influence on
existing and potential customer awareness at Innside by Melia Yogyakarta. Besides, the
three personas also considered that the official hotel website was not very influential for
awareness. Therefore, in order the Melia Hotels International policy to run well, Innside
by Melia needs to improve its social media so that it can become the most significant
source of awareness for existing and potential customers. Through social media, Innside
77
by Melia can drive awareness of existing and potential customers on the Melia Hotels
International website. When awareness of the website increases, it is hoped that hotel
bookings via the website will increase and via OTA will decrease.

Persona 3 also considers that Instagram is the social media touchpoint that most
makes them aware of hotels in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. The second is Youtube,
and the third is Tiktok.
Based on the social media category's touchpoints, Instagram is the most effective
platform for Persona 1 (existing customer) and 2 (potential customer) members to be
aware of Innside by Melia Yogyakarta. Besides, Instagram is also the most effective
platform for Persona 2 and 3 members (potential customers) to be aware of hotels in the
Special Region of Yogyakarta. Youtube and Tiktok are the second and third platforms
that can affect the awareness of each Persona. Facebook is in fourth place. Innside by
Melia Yogyakarta has two social media accounts, namely Instagram and Facebook. Based

platform to gain awareness from the target market. Besides, Innside by Melia Yogyakarta
also needs to consider using other platforms such as Youtube and Tiktok, given the
number of users in each Persona.

b. Social messengers

Based on touchpoint awareness for the internet media category, the three personas
both think that social messenger does not influence them to be aware of Innside by Melia
Yogyakarta and hotels in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. However, if Innside by Melia
Yogyakarta wants to take advantage of social messengers, they can use the Direct
Message Instagram, which is mostly chosen by the three personas. Besides that, the
86
advantage of using Direct Message Instagram is that it is still in the same application as
Instagram social media. Instagram is a social media application that all members of each
persona consider to be the most influential for their awareness of the hotel. Social
messenger allows Innside by Melia Yogyakarta to interact more closely with its existing
and potential customers.

Like Persona 2 members, the first thing that caught the attention of Persona 3
members when they saw the social media belonging to hotels in the Yogyakarta Special
Region, the first thing that came to them was good photos and video visuals. Then the
next thing that comes to mind is the influencers on content, information content about
hotel promos and content about the hotel's facilities.
Based on the data that has been explained, most potential customers from Persona
2 and 3 will be interested in social media content that looks good on the photo and visual
video content. Then the influencer used in the content becomes an important thing to
attract customer awareness. Then followed by content about hotel promos and facilities.
For Persona 1 (existing customers) and 2 (potential customers), Innside by Melia
Yogyakarta's social media emphasizes content regarding facilities and promos.
Meanwhile, good photos and video visuals and influencers used in the content do not pay
attention. In order for Innside by Melia Yogyakarta's social media to attract awareness
from existing and potential customers, Innside by Melia Yogyakarta must think about
how to create content with good photos, and video visuals recruit the right influencers to
become icons and models for the content.

Based on this data, it can be found a similarity in the reasons for Persona 2 and 3
members (potential customers) to follow the social media accounts of hotels in the Special
Region of Yogyakarta, because of the content about hotel promos and facilities. Then
there is additional value in the form of content regarding tourism and culinary around the

93
Special Region of Yogyakarta. The content is made to maintain existing customers to
return to travel to the Special Region of Yogyakarta and re-ordering at the hotel.
The content currently being created by Innside by Melia Yogyakarta on social
media maintains existing customers. However, Innside by Melia Yogyakarta does not
create a good content foundation to attract potential customers in the form of good visual
photos and videos and exciting influencers. Content regarding promos and facilities will
also not attract existing customers to follow if the photo and video content are not
attractive. This problem makes the possibility for existing customers to be reminded of
Innside by Melia Yogyakarta and re-order (become loyal customers) reduced.

7. Conclusion on the Awareness / Inspiration Stage
Based on the results of descriptive and quantitative analysis using the T-test
method, the awareness process at Innside by Melia Yogyakarta that occurred in Persona
1 (existing customer) was significantly different from the awareness process for Persona
2 and 3 (potential customers).
Persona 1 members can be aware of Innside by Melia Yogyakarta in a traditional
way. In terms of ranking, the touchpoint that most influenced Persona 1 members to be
aware of Innside by Melia Yogyakarta was word of mouth from the source of parents
(4.46). The following influencing sources are sibling (3.84), and hotel signboard (3.82).
Social media touchpoint sources are only in seventh place (3.50).
It is different from Persona 2 and 3, which are aware of hotels in the Special
Region of Yogyakarta by digital means. The significant three touchpoints that influence
Persona 2 to become aware of hotels in the Special Region of Yogyakarta are internet
media. The first place is social media (4.38). Then OTA (4.20) and media feedback (3.74).
Likewise, with Persona 3, the first order of the most influencing touchpoints comes from
social media (4.14). Then the media feedback (3.94) and OTA (3.88).
This difference in touchpoint affects each persona's duration to be aware of
Innside by Melia Yogyakarta and hotels in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. Innside by
Melia Yogyakarta needs to be recognized by customers for 2-3 weeks to more than one
month. Meanwhile, hotels in the Special Region of Yogyakarta take one day to 1 week to
be recognized by people in an excellent digital way.
Besides, the social media Facebook that is still being used by Innside by Melia
Yogyakarta is no longer relevant to its current target market. Millennials who are existing
and potential customers choose to use social media in Instagram to be aware of hotels.
Other social media used are Twitter and Tiktok.
On Instagram social media, Innside by Melia Yogyakarta needs to take advantage
of the Instagram story feature properly, such as spending attention to posting time and
content. Besides, Innside by Melia Yogyakarta needs to place Instagram Ads because
Instagram Ads are an influential Instagram feature to make each persona aware.
The social media content created by Innside by Melia Yogyakarta is less relevant
to what potential and existing customers want. The content that potential customers want
to be aware of hotel social media is good photos and video visuals; engaging influencers;
and content about tourism and culinary in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. The content
currently posted by the Innside by Melia Yogyakarta social media is more suitable for
maintaining existing customers (promo content and facilities). However, existing
101
customers are also less interested in the social media of Innside by Melia Yogyakarta
because the quality of photos and videos is not good and influencers are not quite right so
that the possibility of existing customers to realize again with the experience of staying
at Innside by Melia Yogyakarta and re-ordering is small.
The difference in the awareness process between Persona 1 (existing customers)
and Persona 2 and 3 (potential customers) shows that Innside by Melia Yogyakarta has
problems with its digital marketing. Therefore, when Innside by Melia Yogyakarta
decided to focus on re-positioning the hotel for leisure travelers from the millennial
generation, touchpoints in selecting social media platforms, the features used and the
content created needed to be better planned.
The difference between Persona 1, 2 and 3 at the awareness stage can be seen
again in Figures 2.29, 2.30, and 2.31 regarding each persona's customer journey maps.

2.5.5. Research/Consideration
Research/consideration is the stage where Persona 1, 2 and 3 members start
comparing each hotel they are aware of in the previous stage. Later, they can choose the
best hotel for their vacation in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. The following is a
discussion of the research/consideration stages:

Interpretation Very important Important Important Important Quite important Unimportant Important Important

After going through the awareness stage, Persona 1 members began to compare
Innside by Melia Yogyakarta with other hotels in the Yogyakarta Special Region. The
most important criterion for a hotel that Persona 1 chooses for a vacation is complete
facilities. Other essential criteria starting from second place onwards are hotel price, hotel
location, hotel class, hotel reputation, and type of hotel. For Persona 1 members, the
number of room types is considered quite important. Then the number of room units is
considered unimportant. Besides, each hotel criteria standard deviation value is lower

102
than each criteria mean value. This value shows that the responses of Persona 1 members
to each hotel criteria tend to be similar and refer to each mean value.

When Persona 2 members started comparing hotels in the Special Region of


Yogyakarta, there were three very important things to consider. These three things are the
hotel price, hotel facilities and the type of hotel. In sequence, things that are considered
important for Persona 2 members are hotel location, hotel class and reputation of hotels.
The number of hotel rooms is considered quite important for the hotel they will choose.
Meanwhile, the number of room types is considered not important. Then, each hotel
criteria standard deviation value is lower than each criteria mean value. This value shows
that the responses of Persona 2 members to each hotel criteria tend to be similar and refer
to each mean value.

Persona 3 members, when comparing hotels in the Special Region of Yogyakarta,


really prioritize hotel prices. For them, hotel prices are the most important thing to
compare. Then sequentially, the things that are considered important for Persona 3 when
comparing hotels are hotel facilities, hotel class, type of hotel, hotel location, and hotel
reputation. The number of room types is considered quite important, and the number of
room units is not considered important. Besides, each hotel criteria standard deviation
103
value is lower than each criteria mean value. This value shows that the responses of
Persona 3 members to each hotel criteria tend to be similar and refer to each mean value.
There is a similarity when members of Persona 1, 2 and 3 compare hotels in the
Special Region of Yogyakarta. Each persona feels that hotel prices and hotel facilities are
the most essential things in hotel selection. Hotel prices are directly proportional to the
hotel class they choose. At the preliminary stage, each member of Persona 1, 2 and 3
chooses to stay at a 4-star hotel with almost the same rate per night. Innside by Melia
Yogyakarta still falls into this category.
Then, each member of Persona 1, 2 and 3 also felt that the hotel's location was an
important thing to consider. The location of hotels close to the leisure areas of Yogyakarta
Special Region (the palace, the square, etc.) will be more vital to consider than those that
stay away from these leisure places.
Then the number of room types and the number of room units are considered less
important. This consideration is possible because each hotel has the same number of room
types, namely 3 (superior, deluxe, and suite). Then the number of room units states the
size of the hotel building. The bigger the hotel, the bigger the capacity to accommodate
hotel guests. Sometimes there are hotel guests who prefer to vacation in private hotels
with few hotel guests. However, this is not considered important for each persona.

Based on the touchpoint word of mouth category, Persona 1 members feel that
reviews from strangers and friends can influence them when comparing Innside by Melia
Yogyakarta with other hotels in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. Then successively,
influencers, couples, parents and siblings were deemed sufficient to influence their
considerations. Besides, each word of mouth category's standard deviation value is lower

104
than each category's mean value. This value shows that the responses of Persona 1
members to touchpoint of each word of mouth category that influence research tend to be
similar and refer to each word of mouth category's mean value.

According to Persona 2 members, they feel that friends, influencers, reviews from
strangers and couples can influence them to consider hotels in the Special Region of
Yogyakarta that they will book for a vacation. Although both can influence, friends can
have a more substantial influence than other categories. Then parents and sibling only
affect their considerations enough. Each word of mouth category's standard deviation
value is lower than each category's mean value. This value shows that the responses of
Persona 2 members to touchpoint of each word of mouth category that influence research
tend to be similar and refer to each word of mouth category's mean value.

According to Persona 3 members, two sources of word of mouth can influence


their judgment, namely a couple and a friend. The couple has a more decisive influence
than a friend. Meanwhile, another word of mouth sources, such as parents, reviews from
strangers, influencers, and siblings, only had enough influence. Each word of mouth
category's standard deviation value is lower than each category's mean value. This value
shows that the responses of Persona 3 members to touchpoint of each word of mouth
105
category that influence research tend to be similar and refer to each word of mouth
category's mean value.
At the touchpoint of the word of mouth category, there are similarities between
the three Personas. They both assume that friends can influence their judgment to
determine the hotel they will book for a vacation. They believe that friends can help
choose the best hotel for their vacation compared to reviews from strangers. When
members of Persona 1 and 2 still can ask for consideration from other people they do not
know such as strangers and influencers, Persona 3 members only believe in the people
closest to them such as couples and friends. This perception is possible because Persona
3 members mostly take personal trips (only two people) while on vacation in the Special
Region of Yogyakarta.

At the mass media category's touchpoint, Persona 1 members felt that sponsorship
events and billboard advertisements on the road could influence their consideration when
comparing Innside by Melia Yogyakarta with other hotels. Meanwhile, television and
radio; newspapers, tabloids and magazines; and advertisements on cars only sufficiently
influence their judgment. Besides, each mass media category's standard deviation value
is lower than each category's mean value. This value shows that the responses of Persona
1 members to touchpoint of each mass media category that influence research tend to be
similar and refer to each mass media category's mean value.

According to Persona 2 members, there are no mass media that really inspires
them to help them consider hotels in the Yogyakarta Special Region. Billboard
advertising; sponsorship events; television and radio; newspapers, tabloids and magazines
are just as influential. Meanwhile, advertisements on cars do not affect their judgment.
Each mass media category's standard deviation value is lower than each category's mean
value. This value shows that the responses of Persona 2 members to touchpoint of each
mass media category that influence research tend to be similar and refer to each mass
media category's mean value.

According to Persona 3 members, there is nothing in the mass media category that
really influences them in considering their preferred hotel in the Special Region of
Yogyakarta. Sponsorship events; billboard advertisements; newspapers, and magazines;
television and radio are just inspiring enough. Each mass media category's standard
deviation value is lower than each category's mean value. This value shows that the
responses of Persona 3 members to touchpoint of each mass media category that influence
research tend to be similar and refer to each mass media category's mean value.
107
Based on the mass media category's touchpoint, Personas 2 and 3 feel that mass
media is not good enough to help them consider the hotel they will choose. Meanwhile,
in Persona 1, they are still considering mass media such as sponsorship events and
billboard advertisements. This perception is possible because most Persona 1 members
live in the Special Region of Yogyakarta and around Central Java. They can find it easier
to find billboard ads on the streets and attend hotel-sponsored events. This hotel's
existence can be seen more easily by Persona 1 members than Persona 2 and 3, the
majority of which live outside the Special Region of Yogyakarta.

Based on the internet media category, platforms that can influence Persona 1's
consideration in comparing hotels are social media platforms, OTA, media feedback,
hotel comparison and location finder. Social messengers and hotel websites are only
sufficient to influence their judgment. Each internet media category's standard deviation
value is lower than each category's mean value. This value shows that the responses of
Persona 1 members to touchpoint of each internet media category that influence research
tend to be similar and refer to each internet media category's mean value.
Meanwhile, according to Persona 2 members, apart from the internet media
platform that can influence Persona 1's considerations, the official hotel website also
influences their considerations. However, on the social messenger platform, Persona 2
members also feel that the platform slightly influences their considerations. Then, each
internet media category's standard deviation value is lower than each category's mean
value. This value shows that the responses of Persona 2 members to touchpoint of each
internet media category that influence research tend to be similar and refer to each internet
media category's mean value.

According to Persona 3 members, the social media platform greatly influences


their consideration in considering hotels in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. Other
platforms such as OTA, official hotel website, media feedback, location finder and hotel
comparison also influence, although not as significant as social media platforms. Like the
members of Persona 1 and 2, the social messenger platform is just enough to influence
their judgment. Besides, each internet media category's standard deviation value is lower
than each category's mean value. This value shows that the responses of Persona 3
members to touchpoint of each internet media category that influence research tend to be
similar and refer to each internet media category's mean value.

Based on the internet media category, all Persona consider that social media has
a vital role in considering and comparing the hotels they choose for vacation. Other
platforms such as OTA and media feedback are also essential for them to even though
they are not as strong as social media. The selection of this touchpoint can occur because
most words of mouth touchpoints chosen by all Persona are friends. Using the social
media platform, they can see content about the hotels they are comparing and then send
direct messages to their friends, asking them to consider which hotel they should choose

109
to book. Meanwhile, OTA and media feedback do not have a direct message feature, so
members of each Persona cannot immediately ask their friends for their considerations.

According to Persona 1 members, the online community influences when they


consider and compare Innside by Melia Yogyakarta with other hotels in the Special
Region of Yogyakarta. Meanwhile, the offline community is only sufficient to influence
their judgment. Each community category's standard deviation value is lower than each
category's mean value. This value shows that the responses of Persona 1 members to
touchpoint of each community category that influence research tend to be similar and
refer to each community category's mean value.

Like Persona 1 members, the online community is also felt to influence the

they will choose for a vacation. Then, for the offline community, members of Persona 2
and 3 also perceive that the offline community slightly affects their considerations. Each
community category's standard deviation value is lower than each category's mean value.

This value shows that the responses of Persona 2 and 3 members to touchpoint of each

In the community category, it can be concluded that the online community


influences to help the three Persona to consider and compare the hotels they choose for
holidays in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. Meanwhile, the offline community only
influences their considerations. Online and offline communities can consider each
Persona because according to the touchpoint category of word of mouth, each Persona
also considers reviews from strangers or influencers even though they are not as strong
as their closest people such as friends or couple.
This information can be used as a reference for Innside by Melia Yogyakarta.
They need to follow or create their own online and offline communities so that this brand
name can be notified more often and reviewed by others, thereby increasing the
possibility of being booked by leisure travelers.

e. Contact centre
Based on the contact centre category, Persona 1 assumes that letters/emails and
call centres from Innside by Melia Yogyakarta do not consider choosing the hotel they
will stay in. Just like Persona 1, members of Persona 2 also feel that these two things do
not affect their consideration. Then Persona 3 feel that these two things quite influence
their consideration in choosing hotels in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. Each contact
centre category's standard deviation value is lower than each category's mean value. This
value shows that the responses of Persona 1, 2, and 3 members to touchpoint of each

111
contact centre category that influence research tend to be similar and refer to each contact
centre category's mean value.

Therefore, it can be concluded that the contact centre does not provide a
reasonable consideration for the three personas. This perception can arise because all
information about the hotel is already available via internet media. Suppose customer
want to convince that the hotel is of good quality, the contact centre's answers tend to be
subjective and dishonest because they will certainly try to look good in front of their
prospective customers.

Figure 2. 59. Social Media Platform as a Consideration for Choosing Hotel (Internal Data, 2020)

According to Persona 1, 2 and 3 social media platforms that most influence their
consideration in comparing hotels in the Special Region of Yogyakarta is the Instagram
platform. Then the second most chosen platform is Youtube. Then for Persona 1,2 and 3
members, Twitter and Tiktok platforms are quite influential. Meanwhile, Facebook does
not influence their judgment.
Instagram is their favourite platform for comparing hotels because Instagram is a
complete platform. Persona 1, 2 and 3 members can view content about the hotels they
compare, see reviews from other people and can also be used to send direct messages to
friends to ask for their consideration. Meanwhile, Youtube is quite a favourite because it
contains a long video about the hotel they are comparing. Customers can assess the hotel
113
they are comparing from the video reviews on Youtube and their comments, but Youtube
cannot interact with friends even though friends' touchpoints are highly considered by
members of Persona 1, 2 and 3. Then, like the awareness stage, Facebook is still not the
preferred platform for comparing hotels.

b. Social messengers
Although for Persona 1, 2 and 3 members, the social messenger platform only
slightly influences them to consider their choice of hotels, this social messenger is an
important platform when all three Persona try to ask their closest people for consideration.
Because the closest people of Persona 1, 2 and 3 members are like friends and couple that
quite influence them in considering hotels.

Figure 2. 60. Social Messenger as a Consideration for Choosing Hotel (Internal Data, 2020)

Based on Figure 2.59. Persona 1 is slightly different from Persona 2 and 3


regarding the social messenger options for comparing hotels. Persona 1 members prefer
Whatsapp to Instagram Direct Message to compare hotels they are aware of. On the other
hand, Persona 2 and 3 members prefer Direct Message Instagram over Whatsapp.
Direct Message Instagram has been chosen because it is one of Instagram's
practical features (it only takes one application). Meanwhile, Persona 1 prefers Whatsapp
because maybe their friends are easier and faster to consider when Persona 1 members
contact them via Whatsapp. However, Persona 1 members still consider Direct Message
Instagram as one of the social messenger platforms, which influences their consideration.

Based on the Instagram features chosen to consider hotels in the Special Region
of Yogyakarta, Persona 1, 2, and 3 members both chose Instagram Story as the best
feature. Then in the second place, there are friend posts. The next sequence is that
Instagram explores and Instagram Ads.
At this research stage, Instagram stories are still very influential. Content in the
form of short videos from friends, other people or hotel accounts can be a reasonable
consideration for them. Then friend posts also influence because one of the influential
touchpoints for consideration is their friends. Then, Instagram Ads is no longer very
influential at this stage. Instagram Ads is more useful for making existing and potential
customer aware of hotels.

d. Types of content that are considered in choosing a hotel


According to Persona 1, 2, and 3 the types of content that help them consider
hotels are content about hotel promos and content about hotel facilities. Then continue
with content about tourism and culinary areas around the hotel and Yogyakarta.
Persona 2 and 3 members (potential customers) prioritize prices when choosing
hotels. Therefore, the content regarding promotions is very important for their
consideration. This price does not always have to be cheap. When members of persona 2
and 3 judge a hotel's facilities to match the price paid (even though it is more expensive
than other hotels that have been compared), they can also choose that hotel.

Figure 2. 62. Types of Content that are Considered in Choosing a Hotel (Internal Data, 2020)

Meanwhile, Persona 1 members (existing customers) tend to prioritize existing


facilities compared to prices. When the price is too expensive or cheap, they will hesitate
to reconsider booking at the hotel and choose another most suitable option. Therefore,
content regarding hotel facilities and promos must be mutually correlated to attract
existing customers' to re-order and attract potential customers to try to stay the first time.
Content about tourism and culinary around hotels and the Special Region of
Yogyakarta is also essential because the purpose of leisure travelers to the Special Region
of Yogyakarta is to enjoy hotel facilities and vacation in tourism and culinary areas in the
Special Region of Yogyakarta.

e. Type of influencer that can be considered in choosing a hotel


According to members of Persona 1, 2, and 3, the right influencers to become
icons or content are those in the travel sector. The choice of influencer traveling is because
their review of a hotel location can be trusted by Persona 1, 2 and 3 members to be
interested in trying the experience. According to Persona 1, 2, and 3, the next right
influencers are beauty and fashion influencers. Beauty and fashion influencers are
considered suitable influencers because they are good looking and can attract the attention
of Persona 1, 2 and 3 members to listen to reviews or content made.

Persona 2 and 3 members are thinking about finding the most valuable hotel promo for
them. This thought can be caused because most Persona 1 members prioritize facilities
first compared to hotel prices. On the other hand, Persona 2 and 3 prioritize hotel prices
compared to existing facilities at hotels.

value is greater than the alpha value of 5% (0.050). This T-test shows that the members
of Persona 1 and 2 when conducting the research and consideration processes are equally
real/insignificant. There is no significant difference between the research process and
consideration of Persona 1 and 2.

real/insignificant. There is no significant difference between the research process and
consideration of Persona 2 and 3.

7. Conclusion on the Research/Consideration Stage


Based on the results of descriptive analysis and the T-Test results, there is no
significant difference between Persona 1, 2 and 3 members in the stage of researching
hotels in the Special Region of Yogyakarta that they are considering being booked. In
general, the main things they consider are same. These are hotel prices and hotel facilities.
Then in order of touchpoints that can help them in the research and consideration
stages is also almost the same. Persona 1 members consider social media to be the most
influential platform to help them consider hotels. Likewise, Persona 2 and 3. For the next
sequence, each Persona is almost the same in choosing other internet media such as OTA
and media feedback as touchpoints that can influence them in considering hotels.
At the research and consideration stages, Persona 1 members (existing customers)
chose different touchpoints during the awareness stage with Innside by Melia Yogyakarta.
They try to compare Innside by Melia Yogyakarta with other hotels in the Special Region
of Yogyakarta on a digital basis. Not traditional anymore. Even parents who were initially
a touchpoint that greatly influenced Persona 1 member recognized that Innside by Melia
Yogyakarta was no longer helpful in making considerations for hotel selection.
The most influential social media platforms for consideration for Persona 1, 2,
and 3 are Instagram. The most influential Instagram features are the Instagram story,
friend posts, and Instagram explore. Direct message on Instagram is also quite influential
as a medium of consideration when they need their friends' opinions. Instagram is a
complete platform for comparing hotels with each other from their content, seeing hotel
reviews from other people's comments and also being able to interact with friends to ask
120
for their opinions directly. Friends are also one of the important touchpoints for the three
Persona besides the internet media.
The content approach that must be made at this research stage is different from
the awareness stage. The content needed by the three personas to compare hotels is
content about hotel promos and hotel facilities. Both contents are necessary because these
two things (price and facilities) are the most important considerations in choosing a hotel
for the three personas. Besides that, influencers also influence their judgment. Influencers
are expected to be experts in travel because their reviews can be trusted and taken into
consideration. Besides, beauty and fashion influencers can also be chosen because they
are good looking, making each member of Persona 1, 2 and 3 want to listen to reviews or
read hotel content they have created.
The difference between Persona 1, 2 and 3 at the research/consideration stage can
be seen again in Figures 2.29, 2.30, and 2.31 regarding each persona's customer journey.

2.5.6. Decision Making


The decision-making stage occurs when Persona 1, 2 and 3 members have
finished comparing each hotel in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. Then they are
determined with their choice and ready to book the hotel. The decision-making stage is
divided into two stages, add to shopping chart stage and make an order stage. The
following is a discussion and analysis of the decision-making stage:

121
The type of hotel that Persona 1, 2 and 3 members prefer to vacation in the Special
Region of Yogyakarta is a lifestyle hotel (leisure hotel). Then the second and third hotels
chosen are resort and boutique hotels (leisure hotels). Lifestyle hotel is a hotel that adapts
to the lifestyle in the area where the hotel is located. The vibes in the hotel lifestyle are a
modern atmosphere mixed with the atmosphere of the Special Region of Yogyakarta.
Then, hotels with the MICE and Bleisure (Business and Leisure) types are less
liked by existing and potential customers from Persona 1,2 and 3. Because this type of
hotel is not focused on leisure. Mice and Bleisure hotels provide more facilities for work,
such as meeting rooms and ballrooms and do not focus too much on vibe leisure.

Based on the selected leisure hotel facilities, members of Persona 1, 2, and 3


prioritize swimming pools and restaurants. Besides, other hotel facilities such as spa, bar
and night club are quite a lot of reasons for consideration for Persona 1, 2 and 3. In stage
research and consideration, facilities are one of the most important things to consider by
Persona 1,2 and 3 members. Innside by Melia Yogyakarta needs to strive to fulfil the
facilities desired by the three Persona, which are representations of leisure travelers.
Innside by Melia Yogyakarta already has an iconic swimming pool on the rooftop.
Then they can improve the swimming pool again, the restaurant and bar are also upgraded
and create an iconic and delicious menu to relax. Then Innside by Melia Yogyakarta can
add spa and night club. Innside by Melia Yogyakarta has had spa services but a special
call for hotel rooms. As for the night club, Innside by Melia Yogyakarta does not yet have
these facilities and can be recommended to be built to become a complete leisure hotel.

>Rp 1.000.000

Figure 2. 71. The Preferred Hotel Rate to be Selected (Internal Data, 2020)

Hotel rate is one of the three primary considerations for Persona in choosing a
hotel other than hotel facilities. Regarding hotel rates per night chosen by Persona 1, 2,
and 3 members, they both chose hotels in the Special Region of Yogyakarta with rates of
Rp 500,000 - Rp 750,000. The rate is following the average price of the 4-star hotel in the
Special Region of Yogyakarta that the three personas choose the most. If the hotel rate is
more expensive than Rp 750,000, the three personas are not too problematic because they
still accept hotel rates at Rp 750,000 - Rp 1,000,000.
In Chapter 1 regarding the hotel description, it has been stated that Innside by
Melia Yogyakarta has an average rate of Rp 510,000 - Rp 650,000 per night so that in
terms of price Innside by Melia Yogyakarta can be the preferred hotel for Persona 1, 2
and 3 (existing and potential customers).

d. Location
Based on the hotel's location, the three Persona chose to stay at a hotel in the
Special Region of Yogyakarta, which is close to tourism and culinary delights. In
proportion, the next hotel location chosen by the three personas is quiet from the crowd
and close to public facilities such as malls and sports venues. The reason for choosing
this location is understandable because leisure travelers traveling to the Special Region
of Yogyakarta enjoy tourism and culinary around.

of 8.0 - 9.0. This hotel rating can be seen and compared on the OTA platform, media

124

existing consumers.
When viewed from several OTA platforms and media feedback, Innside by Melia
Yogyakarta received a score of 8.6 / 10 (impressive) on Traveloka's OTA. Then on the
OTA Tiket.com, Innside by Melia Yogyakarta got a score of 4.3 / 5.0 (excellent). On
Tripadvisor, Innside by Melia Yogyakarta received a score of 4.5 / 5.0 (fantastic). OTA

Figure 2. 75. Factors that Influence the Decision Persona 2 / Potential Customer to not choosing
to stay at Innside by Melia Yogyakarta (Internal Data, 2020)

As a Persona who is aware of Innside by Melia Yogyakarta but has never stayed
overnight, Persona 2 has a reason not to choose Innside by Melia Yogyakarta as a hotel
for a vacation. The main reason is because of the location. The location of Innside by
Melia Yogyakarta is quite close to leisure locations in the Special Region of Yogyakarta
and quite close to city public facilities such as malls. However, all these destinations need
to be reached by using a motorized vehicle. Persona 2 members may want a hotel located
closer to leisure and culinary spots in the Special Region of Yogyakarta and can be
reached on foot.
The next reason is the unsuitable type of hotel. As discussed in the hotel types
chosen by existing and potential customers, they prefer hotel types specific to leisure,
such as lifestyle hotels, resort hotels and boutique hotels. Innside by Melia Yogyakarta is
a half business and half leisure (Bleisure) type hotel. This reason can be a reinforcement
for Innside by Melia Yogyakarta to reposition hotels to hotels for leisure.

c. Additional requests at the hotel to stay (For Persona 1, 2 and 3)


Many Persona 1 (existing customers) have never asked for additional requests
when staying at Innside by Melia Yogyakarta. Most of them request for smoking/non-
smoking rooms. Then is asking for the extra bed. Likewise with Persona 2 and 3 when
booking hotels in the Yogyakarta Special Region. Most of them also request

126
smoking/non-smoking rooms and extra beds. The rest are some who ask for extra
breakfast, lunch or dinner and also rooms upstairs. However, the number of Persona 1, 2
and 3 members who have requested these two things is not too many. This information
can be useful for Innside by Melia Yogyakarta to prepare for additional requests such as
smoking and non-smoking rooms and extra beds not to run out and disappoint customers
who will stay.

Persona 1, 2, and 3 all choose to use OTA as a platform for hotel bookings.
Although Innside by Melia Yogyakarta currently prefers to attract business to business
(corporate and tour agency) customers and has a policy from Melia Hotels International
to reduce OTA, OTA remains the primary platform for booking the hotel rooms. Almost
no one made bookings through the Melia website and application. The Melia website and
application are still unknown, and not many people are aware of the promos given.

The process of introducing the Melia website and application can be assisted by
good use of Innside by Melia Yogyakarta's social media because social media touchpoints
are very influential for all personas to be aware and choose hotels.

128
It is different from Persona 2 and 3, which have started to book many hotel rooms
in the Special Region of Yogyakarta using websites. This fact shows that several hotels
in the Special Region of Yogyakarta can make good use of their websites. Innside by
Melia Yogyakarta is quite behind in terms of digital marketing, be it social media
platforms or websites and applications.

When these three Persona place orders and payments, insecure thoughts arise, and
they doubt whether the experience of staying overnight matches the money that has been
paid. They hesitate because the expectations that have been built are too high for the hotel
they will stay. This thought can arise because both Persona 1, 2, and 3 have never tried to
stay at the hotel before.

Based on the average value, their feelings when making an order decreased from

feelings' value, they were still happy when making an order. Besides, standard deviation
value is lower than mean value. This value shows that the feelings of Persona 1, 2, and 3

8. Conclusion on the Decision Making Stage


Based on the results of descriptive analysis and the T-test, there is no significant
difference between Persona 1, 2, and 3 when they decide to make the decision-making
process at the hotel they choose to vacation in the Special Region Yogyakarta.
Based on the type of hotel, each person chooses to stay at a hotel with a specific
leisure type. Then the most expected hotel facilities for each Persona are a swimming
pool and a restaurant. Then the hotel room rate according to their budget is Rp 500,000 -
Rp 750,000. However, when there is a higher hotel price than Rp 750,000, the three
Persona still want to choose the hotel, as long as it does not exceed Rp 1,000,000. The
expected hotel location is close to tourist, and culinary spots in the Special Region of
Yogyakarta and the minimum hotel reputation is 8.0 - 9.0 (impressive).
Overall, Innside by Melia Yogyakarta has fulfilled all the primary requirements
desired. However, some things need to be improved. According to Persona 1 members
(existing customers), they want to stay at Innside by Melia Yogyakarta because of the
appropriate hotel facilities and location. However, it is different from Persona 2 members
(potential customers). Even though they are aware of Innside by Melia Yogyakarta, the
factor that keeps them from staying overnight is location. The location of Innside by Melia
Yogyakarta is quite close to tourist attractions and city public facilities such as malls. It
only has to be reached by public transportation. Innside by Melia Yogyakarta can consider
providing facilities in the form of a tour around Yogyakarta; making a terminal for public
transportation (taxi); making public transportation rental services; or making leisure
133
facility inside the hotel, so that hotel guests do not have to leave the hotel. Just in the
hotel, they can enjoy the vibes of the Special Region of Yogyakarta.
Regarding touchpoints, each Persona member still chooses OTA as a tool for hotel
bookings. The hotel website has begun to be widely used by Persona 2 and 3 to make
bookings. However, Persona 1 as an existing customer, almost no one makes bookings
via the Melia website or application. This fact indicates that the existing and potential
customer awareness of the Melia website and application is still not good. Good social
media can be a way to promote the Melia website and application, with a note that
awareness of the existing and potential customers of Innside by Melia Yogyakarta social
media must be improved first.

2.5.7. Preparation
The preparation stage is the stage after the customer makes payments, and before
they stay at the hotel. This stage is a crucial stage where customers can cancel trips and
stay plans for any reason. The refund process's ease also makes it easy for customers to
think again about the hotel of their choice and cancel their trip. Moreover, there is still a
feeling of insecurity in the customer at the decision-making stage, whether the money
they pay will match the experience they get. Therefore, every hotel usually provides a
value at this preparation stage so that the customer does not cancel the trip and stay
overnight. The following is a discussion of the preparation stages of the three Persona:

1. Service Criteria at the Preparation Stage


a. Assessment of the services provided by the hotel
According to Persona 1 members, the important services provided to them at this
preparation stage are tourism recommendations around the hotel, reminders for check-in,
and pick-up offers from public places such as airports, stations or terminals. Meanwhile,
other services such as reminders for packing documents, travel tickets and providing the
hotel address's location are considered quite important. Then, standard deviation value is
lower than mean value. This value shows that Persona 1 members when they assess the
services provided by the hotel, tend to be similar and refer to the mean value.
Meanwhile, according to Persona 2 and 3 members, all services at the preparation
stage are essential to be given. For Persona 2, they consider the most important check-in
reminders to provide. The next service order from the most important is travel
recommendations; pick-up offers from public places; reminders for packing documents,
tickets; and finally giving the hotel's address and location.

In Persona 3, they consider that providing travel recommendations is the most


important thing to give. Then, in sequence, there are services in the form of pick up from
public places; check-in reminders; giving hotel locations; lastly reminder documents and
travel tickets. Besides, standard deviation value is lower than mean value. This value
shows that Persona 2 and 3 members when they assess the services provided by the hotel,
tend to be similar and refer to the mean value.

Interpretation Important Important Important Important Important

Based on the data above, both Persona 1, 2, and 3 consider providing travel
recommendations; check-in reminders; and pick-up offers from public places are the most
important services to provide. Travel recommendations are considered important so that
no tourist and culinary destinations in Yogyakarta are overlooked. They can add or
rearrange their tourism plans. A check-in reminder also needs to be given because there
is a possibility that the customer will request a check-in earlier. Before the customer
makes the request, a value can be given in the form of notification of check-in hours.

135
Then pick up offers from public places are also important because not all customers bring
private vehicles when traveling to the Special Region of Yogyakarta.

For Persona 1, 2, and 3 document reminders, travel tickets and hotel locations are
deemed no more important than the three services mentioned. It is possible because travel
tickets are now digital, so it is uncommon to be left behind. Same with documents such
as KTP, SIM, which is usually a package with the customer's wallet. Then the hotel
location can also be easily accessed via the internet.

Based on what has been experienced by Persona 1, 2, and 3 members, they usually
get service in the form of a check-in reminder from the hotel where they stay. Then giving
hotel locations and pick up offers from public places. Providing tourism and culinary
recommendations is not automatically provided by hotels in the Special Region of
Yogyakarta. So, Innside by Melia Yogyakarta can add this value because providing
tourism recommendations is a service that existing and potential customers preferred.

All three personas stated that they usually book hotels to stay a week after making
payment. This information states that the provision of services from hotels to customers
can last up to a week. These services need to be managed. Do not let the customer feel
annoyed because the hotel sends reminders and continuous service to the customer for a
week after making a payment.

7. Conclusion on the Preparation Stage


Based on the descriptive analysis results and the T-test that had been carried out
at the preparation stage, Persona 1, 2, and 3 did not have a significant difference when
doing the preparation stage. The three personas want the hotel's value in the form of
providing tourism and culinary recommendations in the Yogyakarta Special Region;
check-in reminder; and offers of pick up from public places such as airports and stations.
So far, both Innside by Melia Yogyakarta and other hotels in the Special Region
of Yogyakarta provide limited services in the form of check-in reminders and pick-up
offers from public places. Innside by Melia Yogyakarta can provide other values that
existing and potential customers prefer in the form of providing tourism and culinary
recommendations in the Special Region of Yogyakarta.
Besides, the preferred media for the three Persona to receive these services is the
social messenger in the form of Whatsapp. This social messenger is a platform that is
quite actively used by the three Persona to communicate. The possibility of these services
being seen and read by each customer will be much greater. So far, Innside by Melia
Yogyakarta provides these services via email. Innside by Melia can try to provide these
services with the social messenger. Innside by Melia can also integrate Instagram social
media with Whatsapp. Content regarding tourism and culinary recommendations that
have been made on Instagram can be shared on the customers Whatsapp.

2.5.8. In-house Experience

staying at Innside by Melia Yogyakarta. Meanwhile, Persona 2 and 3 members began to
stay at hotels in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. This in-house experience is divided
into two stages: when the customer enjoys the experience and the stage when the customer
does not enjoy it because of problems faced at the hotel. The following is an explanation
of the in-house experience stage:

three personas perform this stage. Every Persona feels that their expectations of the hotels
they stay (Innside by Melia Yogyakarta or hotels in the Special Region of Yogyakarta)
have been well fulfilled.
According to existing customers (Persona 1), they are very satisfied with the
existing facilities at Innside by Melia Yogyakarta. The most satisfying facilities were the
Skydeck rooftop and bar, which is the icon of Innside by Melia Yogyakarta. Then the
food served by Innside by Melia Yogyakarta is also very satisfying. This food is directly
equivalent to the restaurant Syndeo, a second facility with satisfying performance after
Skydeck rooftop and bar. The best-added value provided by Innside by Melia Yogyakarta
to its existing customers is a beautiful rooftop view. Customers can take pictures and see
the beauty of Mount Merapi and the atmosphere of Yogyakarta.
However, there are deficiencies in Innside by Melia Yogyakarta. The hotel
location is not following customer expectations. The assessment of existing customers
towards the location is also the lowest among other categories, although it is still
considered satisfactory. Then Innside by Melia Yogyakarta does not have many photo
spots. Photo spots that are "Instagramable" can please customers and make the content
they share on their Instagram or Tiktok more varied. The Instagram feature most used by
customers to share experience content is Instagram stories. This Instagram story post can

Then an upgrade regarding photo spots is also desired by Persona 1 members at


Innside by Melia Yogyakarta. They want Innside by Melia Yogyakarta to be more
"Instagramable" so that they can be more varied in capturing moments of experience
while staying. Then, the beautiful scenery is the value Innside by Melia Yogyakarta gives
156
to its customers. However, if Innside by Melia Yogyakarta always relies on these values,
existing customers will be bored. Beautiful scenery is not the primary value that makes
customers want to return to Innside by Melia Yogyakarta. They needed a new experience
when they returned to stay at Innside by Melia Yogyakarta.
According to Persona 2 and 3, "Instagramable" photo spots are essential for hotels
in the Special Region of Yogyakarta when they are on vacation. This photo spot is a new
demand for hotels that target millennials as the target market because they have a habit
of creating content, taking pictures, and sharing it with people around them.
Then, another thing that Persona 2 and 2 prioritizes so that they return to the hotel
is the hotel concept that suits them. Their wish is to sign that their first impression of the
hotel they are staying at in the Special Region of Yogyakarta must be good and follow
their wishes. The leisure concept offered by hotels must be good and stay in their minds.

social media. Then the next media is OTA and media feedback. The hotel website is still
not a favorite media for each persona to remind them of their stay experience.
Social media, OTA, and feedback media were chosen because there is a possibility
that each member of Persona 1, 2, and 3 are not used to looking for news or information
that is too specific on something, such as hotel websites. They are more accustomed to
using platforms that can view many different things and content. The platforms that can

members of Persona 1, 2, and 3 want to share the content of their stay experience primarily
with the people closest to them. The Instagram and Tiktok platforms can provide this,
although they can still be used to share with the broader community that they do not know.
However, if customers use Youtube to share content, especially those who watch their
content are people they do not know.

c. Content that makes you remember at the hotel you have stayed
According to Persona 1, 2 and 3 members, content that can remind them and make
them want to stay overnight is content about tourism and culinary information in the
Special Region of Yogyakarta. Besides, content regarding hotel promos and events held
at hotels is also desirable. Existing customers do not desire the facilities' content because
they have experienced the hotel and already know exactly what facilities are in the hotel.

Therefore, they need content about tourism and culinary delights to remember the
old memories when they visited there for existing customers. The promo's content is very
attractive to existing customers to encourage them to come again to stay at the same hotel.
Content information about events held by hotels is also needed to arouse the desire to
travel to the Special Region of Yogyakarta again, because there is a clear purpose for
them to attending the hotel events.

3. Social Media Behavior (Remember and Return)


a. Instagram features that makes you remember at the hotel you have stayed
The Instagram feature that most reminds each persona and has the desire to stay
back is Instagram stories. This feature is a favorite of each persona during each stage
journey that they take. This feature's convenience to see the activities of existing
customer-friends traveling to the Special Region of Yogyakarta can remind and revive
their desire to travel to the Special Region of Yogyakarta and stay at hotels.
Another feature that will make them remember is Instagram Ads; friends post;
and Instagram explore. At this stage, Instagram Ads are needed again, because in
accordance with the wishes of existing customers, hotel promotions can revive their
memories of the hotels they have stayed in in the Special Region of Yogyakarta.

Touchpoints in the form of friends are also important at this stage, because when
existing customers open Instagram, they like to see photo or video feed posts from their
friends. Therefore, so that the experience content of staying at Innside by Melia
Yogyakarta can be uploaded and seen by many people, Innside by Melia Yogyakarta
needs to make its hotel into a lot of photo spots.

feeds, the written captions can be longer than the relatively few Instagram stories.

which are only 24 hours later lost and need to be reposted again. Then, they also like to
share experiences with their friends through the group post feature.

a. Customer thought
All Persona members think that they can easily tell their experience of staying at
Innside by Melia Yogyakarta and hotels in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. This
thought can be caused because the experience was very memorable for them, so they still
remember and memorize every part of their vacation trip and stay at the hotel.
However, it can also happen that they are still reminded of their stay because of
an unpleasant incident. Such as a problem that customers experienced and have to
complain about the hotel. This negative review is dangerous for the hotel's reputation in
the eyes of potential customers who read the review. However, based on this
questionnaire's results, both Persona 1, 2, and 3 have good experiences when staying at
the Innside by Melia Yogyakarta and at hotels in the Special Region of Yogyakarta.

All Persona members feel enthusiastic and excited when they have to share their
experiences on social media or with other people. However, their average score when
they had to review was smaller than when they thought back to the hotel they had stayed.
This feeling can arise because reviewing requires more effort to think about the right
content and words to say or write. Besides, standard deviation value is lower than mean

value. This value shows that the feelings of Persona 1, 2, and 3 members when they
sharing experience, tend to be similar and refer to the mean value.

The length of this phase is different for each persona. The majority of Persona 1
members reside in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. People in Persona 1 members
outside the Special Region of Yogyakarta usually return to vacation within three months.
Then between Persona 2 and 3, most of them return to vacation in the Special Region of
Yogyakarta every three months to 6 months. These potential customers can spend more
time on vacation in the Special Region of Yogyakarta and stay at Innside by Melia
Yogyakarta. They need to make a good and precise marketing strategy based on the three
personas' journey analyzed.

9. T-Test the Loyalty and Advocacy Stage on Each Persona


a. Persona 1 and Persona 2
In Persona 1 and 2 T-test results, the resulting sig (2-tailed) value is 0.106. This
value is greater than the alpha value of 5% (0.050). This T-test shows that the members
of Persona 1 and 2 when conducting the loyalty and advocacy stage are equally
real/insignificant. There is no significant difference between the loyalty and advocacy
stage of Persona 1 and 2.

of Persona 2 and 3 when conducting the loyalty and advocacy stage are equally
real/insignificant. There is no significant difference between the loyalty and advocacy
stage of Persona 2 and 3.

166
10. Conclusion on the Loyalty and Advocacy Stage
Based on the descriptive analysis results and the T-test, Persona 1, 2, and 3 did
not have a significant difference in the loyalty and advocacy stages. Persona 1 feels that
the thing that will remind them of Innside by Melia Yogyakarta is its facilities in the form
of a Skydeck Rooftop and Bar. Then there is something that Persona 1 wants, the
increasing of “Instagramable” photo spots. The two other Persona also expect the same
thing when staying at other hotels in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. These three
Personas tend to want to experience a different experience when they have to re-order at
the same hotel.
Then the touchpoint used to review and think back to the hotel they stayed in was
social media in the form of Instagram. Instagram can be a useful tool for customer
turnover between existing customers and their friends (potential customers). Post reviews
of experience content created by existing customers through Instagram stories and
Instagram feeds can make friends interested in taking a vacation to the Special Region of
Yogyakarta and staying at the same hotel as the content creator. Conversely, when friends
finally go to the Yogyakarta for a vacation and stay at the same hotel, the existing
customer can be reminded of his experience while staying. The desire to stay overnight
appears again so that the existing customers to become loyal customers is even greater.
Besides, the duration of Persona 1, 2, and 3 members to return to vacation in the
Special Region of Yogyakarta is quite long, between 3 months - 6 months. Innside by
Melia Yogyakarta needs to work on its marketing strategy again if it will target leisure
travelers so that their duration for vacationing in the Special Region of Yogyakarta and
staying at Innside by Melia Yogyakarta is shorter than it is today.

Based on the results of internal, external, and consumer analysis each stage of the
journey between Persona 1 (existing customer) and Persona 2 and 3 (potential customer),
it can be concluded that the main problem of Innside by Melia Yogyakarta is the
awareness stage.
The problem at this awareness stage affects other journey stages. Other journey
stages also need improvement so that customers who stay at Innside by Melia Yogyakarta
can feel maximum satisfaction and become loyal customers who often make repeat
orders. The following is a root cause analysis of the main problems experienced by
Innside by Melia Yogyakarta.

168
CHAPTER 3 BUSINESS SOLUTION

3.1. Business Solution Alternatives


Based on the results of the previous chapter's analysis, Innside by Melia
Yogyakarta has a business issue in the form of dissatisfaction with the General Manager
of Innside by Melia Yogyakarta and the board of directors of PT Saraswanti Indoland
Development on current hotel performance because the revenue earned is still inferior to
competing hotels in Special Region of Yogyakarta. Then, based on the results of business
issue exploration, it was found that the main problem that was felt by existing and
potential customers was the awareness stage. The problem at this awareness stage affects
other journey stages and requires improvement from various lines.
In this chapter, the author will provide business solutions to improve the
performance of Innside by Melia Yogyakarta. There are two business solutions
formulated, namely repositioning and new wave marketing. New wave marketing is used
to increase customer awareness on social media owned by Innside by Melia Yogyakarta
based on target markets and positions that have gone through the repositioning stage.
Then further analysis will be explained on customer journey maps. The following is an
explanation of the repositioning and new wave marketing that has been formulated:

3.1.1. Repositioning
Repositioning is a positive perception formulated by target customers who can
accept the modification of the characteristics of goods, services, or offers from a brand to
compete with other brands in competing for existing market segments. Repositioning is
required when the operational environment leads to drastic changes in the competitive
landscape, such as consumer behavior changes. Repositioning is not a decision to be made
lightly, as consumers have pre-existing attitudes toward a brand (Zhang et al., 2015).
Based on Segmentation, Targeting, and Positioning analysts (STP) in the Business
Issue Exploration Chapter, Innside by Melia Yogyakarta targets the business and leisure
travelers market and positions its hotel as "Urban Lifestyle Hotels for Smart Business and
Leisure Travelers”. Positioning Innside by Melia Yogyakarta, which has been formulated,
does not provide adequate performance.
The largest income for Innside by Melia Yogyakarta is in the business travelers
segment. However, after conducting an external analysis in the form of competitor
analysis, it turned out that Innside by Melia Yogyakarta did not have adequate MICE
facilities compared to other competitor hotels in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. For

169
example, the meeting room owned by Innside by Melia Yogyakarta has the fourth-largest
capacity of five competing hotels. Then, Innside by Melia Yogyakarta has no
development area to build more meeting rooms or ballrooms with larger capacities to
compete with competitors. If Innside by Melia Yogyakarta does not make changes, the
income earned will be stagnant and will not get a significant increase in performance.
Therefore, a strategic effort by repositioning is needed to improve this
performance. The market that can be focused on being developed is the leisure travelers
market. Market expansion to leisure travelers is illustrated in the explanation from Igor
Ansoff's growth matrix below. The expansion carried out is market development.

Figure 3. 1. The Ansoff Matrix (Meldrum et al., 1995)

The Ansoff Matrix is a two-by-two depiction of the options open to organisations


if they wish to improve revenue or profitability. The matrix was first described by Igor
Ansoff in “Strategies for Diversification”. It is useful because it provides a simple
framework which encapsulates all the strategic directions an organisation can adopt in
one analytical tool (Meldrum et al., 1995).

1. Market Penetration Strategy


Market penetration strategy focuses on selling existing products or services to
existing markets. Businesses focus on well-known markets and products. This strategy is
a low-risk zone and will not require much investment in new market research.
Innside by Melia Yogyakarta wants to increase hotel revenue more than they
currently get. Using a market penetration strategy while still utilizing existing products
and markets will make the revenue received by Innside by Melia Yogyakarta stagnant,
and there will be no significant changes. Besides, in Figure 1.18 chapter 1, by utilizing
existing products and markets, revenue Innside by Melia Yogyakarta only ranks 4 out of

170
5 competing hotels. Innside by Melia Yogyakarta needs to carry out other strategies to
increase its revenue and to exceed other competitors.

2. Product Development Strategy


A product development strategy is a strategy that is focused on being used to
develop new products in existing markets. This strategy requires the development of new
competencies and requires companies to develop products to attract existing markets.
Based on Table 2.60. In Chapter 2, existing customers were satisfied with the
products or facilities offered by Innside by Melia Yogyakarta when they stayed. The
facilities offered are following their expectations. Therefore, the product development
strategy by creating new products in the same market does not need to be carried out by
Innside by Melia Yogyakarta, given the satisfaction felt by existing customers.

3. Diversification Strategy
A diversification strategy is a strategy for developing new products for new
markets. This strategy carries a substantially more risk than the other strategies because
it moves into new markets with little or no experience with these products.
Apart from the fact that the existing market is satisfied with the existing facilities
at Innside by Melia Yogyakarta, there are regulations and policies from Melia Hotels
International's operator that the Innside by Melia brand is an urban lifestyle hotel intended
for business and leisure travelers. It is not allowed to significantly change the product and
market according to the stipulated conditions. Strategies that can be done are the tendency
of each branch of the Innside by Melia brand to pursue the business or leisure segment
more and adjust the facilities within the hotel according to the segment that has the most
profitable opportunities to be pursued. However, the facilities for both segments must still
be in the hotel. Thus, the diversification strategy cannot be implemented at Innside by
Melia Yogyakarta.

4. Market Development Strategy


Market development strategy is a growth strategy that focuses on selling existing
products and services in new markets. Given the satisfaction felt by existing customers
with existing facilities at Innside by Melia Yogyakarta; lack of development land to make
MICE facilities bigger and adequate; as well as the regulations of the Melia Hotels
International operator discussed earlier, the market development strategy is the most
appropriate strategy to be implemented by Innside by Melia Yogyakarta compared to
other strategies. Innside by Melia Yogyakarta does not need to change existing products

171
significantly. Hotels only need to develop the market and focus more on one segment,
namely leisure travelers, to increase their revenue.

When Innside by Melia Yogyakarta decided to focus on leisure travelers as their


target market, several changes occurred. These changes are explained by the following
marketing mix (7Ps).
According to the Charted Institute of Marketing (2009), Marketing Mix is a term
used to characterize the mixture approaches used by a business to accomplish its
objectives by successfully marketing its goods or services to a specific target customer
segment. The marketing mix was initially divided into four components (4Ps); product,
price, promotion, and place. And then added 3 Ps (people, physical evidence, and process)
to the initial 4 Ps to extend the marketing mix framework to the service.
1. Product
Based on the discussion of company products in chapter 1, Innside by Melia
Yogyakarta currently offers products in the form of hotel rooms, Syndeo Restaurant and
Bar, Sky Deck Rooftop Pool and Bar, InFit Gym Center, and Meeting rooms.
Based on Figure 2.70 in chapter 2, the facilities prioritized by existing and
potential customers are restaurants, swimming pools, bars, and these three facilities are
already owned by Innside by Melia Yogyakarta and do not need to be changed. However,
suppose Innside by Melia Yogyakarta wants to develop facilities. In that case, the night
club can be an alternative because, for existing and potential customers, the night club is
the fourth facility for those who are considering hotels to vacation in the Special Region
of Yogyakarta.

2. Price
Based on the discussion in chapter 1, the room rates at Innside by Melia
Yogyakarta are in the price range of IDR 510,000.00 - IDR 650,000.00 / night. Then,
based on Table 2.60., Existing customers feel that the price is following their
expectations, so that Innside by Melia Yogyakarta does not need to put a price rate that is
too low from that price range.
However, Innside by Melia Yogyakarta needs to adjust the room price with the
estimated occupancy obtained so that a combination can be found that can generate the
largest revenue.

172
3. Place
Innside by Melia Yogyakarta is currently located in Maguwoharjo, Sleman,
Yogyakarta. The hotel location is strategically located for several tourist attractions and
transportation access, such as Adi Sucipto Airport. However, according to existing
customers in Table 2.60., The location of Innside by Melia Yogyakarta has met their
expectations. However, the value is relatively low compared to other categories. The hotel
location ranks 6 out of 8 categories of their satisfaction when staying at Innside by Melia
Yogyakarta. The hotel's location to the city center, such as Tugu and Kraton, needs a
vehicle and cannot be that close to walking like other hotels in the city center. Besides,
the hotel development area is also limited, as previously explained.
Therefore, the idea of changing this place category is to create a crowd that leisure
travelers prefer by utilizing existing facilities, buildings, and hotel land, such as by
inviting communities in the arts, crafts. The discussion regarding this will be further
explained in the business solutions section of the New Wave Marketing.

4. Promotion
Promotions currently carried out by Innside by Melia Yogyakarta are mostly
discount promotions or Melia Rewards member loyalty made centrally with the Melia
Hotels International operator. The promotions can be seen on Innside by Yogyakarta's
social media, website, and mobile application from Melia. Meanwhile, on touchpoint
awareness at Innside by Melia Yogyakarta, existing customers are more aware of mass
media such as hotel signboards, billboards than Melia's social media, websites, and
mobile applications. Even though the awareness process that potential customers like
when they want to vacation at a hotel in the Special Region of Yogyakarta are through
social media. Customers do not know much about Melia Rewards' discount promo or
loyalty members.
Changes that can be made are changing the marketing strategy of Innside by Melia
Yogyakarta, which currently optimizes vertical to horizontal methods, such as using
internet media so that promos can be seen and spread well to customers. This strategy
will also be discussed further in the New Wave Marketing section.

5. People
In terms of people, currently, Innside by Melia Yogyakarta responds more to
consumers by email and telephone. The approach of Innside by Melia Yogyakarta
employees to consumers does not happen too much on social media. Even though social
media is the preferred touchpoint for leisure travelers. Based on Figure 2.18, Innside by

173
Melia Yogyakarta's social media engagement rate is 2.16%. With 4159 followers, a
reasonable engagement rate should be 5.60%. This data shows that the Innside by Melia
Yogyakarta approach to serving its customers with the touchpoint they like (social media)
is still lack. Innside by Melia Yogyakarta needs to improve these services to increase
customer engagement and satisfaction.

6. Physical evidence
Based on Figure 2.96, existing customers from Persona 1 feel that Innside by
Melia Yogyakarta has a shortage of photo spots that are less and the spot photo is not
"Instagramable." Even though Persona 2 and 3 include "Instagramable" photo spot
criteria as the hotel's principal value, they will book. Instagramable photo spots can be a
physical evidence value for hotel products offered by Innside by Melia Yogyakarta. This
strategy will also be discussed further in the New Wave Marketing section.

7. Process
The Innside by Melia Yogyakarta service process for customer satisfaction is
currently unable to take advantage of the media they have, such as social media, websites,
and applications. This media is the touchpoint that consumers prefer in the entire
customer journey process, from getting to know the hotel, choosing hotels, booking hotels
to providing complaints and reviews. Besides, the existing Melia website and mobile
application have not been fully utilized as a good service process.
The solution that can be made is to create an integrated service process that
integrates consumer-preferred touchpoint media such as social media, websites, mobile
apps, and other preferred touchpoints such as OTA. Innside by Melia must treat
consumers from all stages of the customer journey process with this integrated media.

Based on this repositioning discussion, Innside by Melia Yogyakarta can carry


out a market development strategy by prioritizing leisure travelers as their primary target
market and repositioning hotels as "Urban Lifestyle Hotels for Leisure Travelers."

3.1.2. New Wave Marketing


According to Kartajaya (2008: 154), human behavior is always changing
dynamically along with the times. Now is the era of internet technology. This internet
technology makes changes to customer behavior as well as opens up new opportunities
in business. Marketers must respond to these changes by developing more relevant
marketing strategies.

174
This change in consumer behavior arises because of the birth of a new horizontal
(bottom-up, peer-to-peer, and many-to-many) marketing approach. This approach is also
known as New Wave Marketing. This approach has replaced vertical marketing (top-
down and one-to-many) or legacy marketing (Kartajaya, 2010: 27).
According to Kartajaya (2010: 58), New Wave Marketing's concept is to create
four aspects of the 4C business (Competitor, Customer, Company, and force of Change),
which is a horizontal business landscape, connected with one aspect in the form of
Connect. Connect is not only about how a marketer connects online but also must be in
tune with the online world. When marketers are only connected online, it will only cause
an impact of excitement and engagement. However, when marketers connect online and
offline, it will further impact intimacy and enthusiasm.
Connect aspect is an absolute must to enter and connect to 12C's core marketing
elements of New Wave Marketing. The 12C's core marketing element replaces the 9C's
core vertical marketing element. The following is a schema of 12C's marketing elements
of New Wave Marketing:

Figure 3. 2. 12 C's New Wave Marketing (Kertajaya, 2010: 57)

Based on the root cause analysis in Figure 2.122, the main problem of Innside by
Melia Yogyakarta's social media is the lack of awareness. When viewed from the
customer journey maps of Persona 1 in Figure 2.29., The touchpoints that have made
existing customers aware of Innside by Melia Yogyakarta are through parents (4.46),
hotel signboards (3.84), and siblings (3.82). Social media only ranks 7 (3.50) from all
existing touchpoints. This survey results indicate that Innside by Melia Yogyakarta is still

175
more dominant in using vertical marketing; even hotel signboards are felt to provide more
awareness than social media.
According to Figure 1.4, 56% of Indonesia's population are active social media
users, and each year the number continues to grow to 15%. Besides, based on the
customer journey maps Persona 2 and 3 in figures 2.30 and 2.31, the first touchpoint that
made them aware of hotels in the Special Region of Yogyakarta was social media. This
fact shows that the number of social media users in Indonesia is quite large, and most
hotels in the Special Region of Yogyakarta can make good use of social media.
Therefore, the New Wave Marketing strategy is the right strategy to solve
awareness problem on Innside by Melia Yogyakarta social media, because it can change
the vertical marketing method of Innside by Melia Yogyakarta to horizontal marketing.
Besides, the recommended content for social media is also formulated in this strategy.
The following is the implementation of the New Wave Marketing strategy to increase
awareness on Innside by Melia Yogyakarta social media:

1. New Wave Strategy


According to Kartajaya (2010: 83), the formulation of a marketing strategy in
segmentation, targeting, and positioning is a vertical strategy or can be called legacy
marketing. The company seeks to define and map markets and select these markets based
on the resources they have. The company must then care about its existence in the target
market's mind, which has a good position and be the brand chosen by them.

Figure 3. 3. New Wave Strategy (Kertajaya, 2010: 84)

In preparing the New Wave Marketing marketing strategy, the author will change
the marketing strategy of segmentation, targeting, and positioning into communitization,
confirmation, and clarification to become a horizontal marketing practice that can be
meaningfully accepted by Innside by Melia Yogyakarta customers.

176
a. Segmentation to Communitization
In the vertical segmentation practice that has been used by Innside by Melia
Yogyakarta until now, consumers are seen as a group of people who have the same
characteristics. This causes them to buy the same thing, where they do not know each
other and become the marketing target of Innside by Melia Yogyakarta. The market
segment for Innside by Melia Yogyakarta can be seen in Table 2.6, which in brief are
people visiting the Special Region of Yogyakarta for tourism or business purposes.
When using the New Wave strategy, segmentation will be changed to a more
horizontal direction by communitization consumers as a group of people who care about
each other and have the same purposes, values, and identity. This community must be
positioned as the center of the Innside by Melia Yogyakarta's business strategy.

• Company activity
Based on the customer journey maps of Persona 1 / existing customers in Figure
2.29, the online community is only sufficiently influential on Persona 1 members'
awareness. Meanwhile, influencers do not affect the awareness. It is different with
Persona 2 and 3 members. On the customer journey maps of Persona 2 and 3 in Figures
2.30 and 2.31, they place influencers and the online community in the top 7 of 8
touchpoints that influence them to become aware of hotels in the Special Region of
Yogyakarta. Even though community and influencers are very influential components in
this New Wave Marketing strategy

Figure 3. 4. Three Ways to Form Community (Kertajaya, 2010: 90)

Innside by Melia Yogyakarta does not have or follow any community yet. Innside
by Melia currently only has a combined loyalty program from the Melia Hotels
International operator in Melia Rewards. In New Wave Marketing, existing customers
who join Melia Rewards cannot be said to be a community because they are positioned
as a marketing tactic, not the center of Innside by Melia Yogyakarta's business strategy.

177
An alternative way that Innside by Melia Yogyakarta can do is to form its
community. According to Kertajaya (2010: 90), there are three ways to form a
community. The three ways are the Pool model, Hub model, and Web model. The pool
model is the most organic and natural community. They do not need to be formed, have
joined by themselves because they share the same values, identities, activities and are
joined because there is a clear and strong pooling factor.
According to the author, currently, Innside by Melia Yogyakarta cannot use this
pool model method, because based on a preliminary survey, both existing and potential
customers are still not aware of Innside by Melia Yogyakarta. Based on Figure 2.21 and
2.23, they are more aware of the Sheraton by Mustika Yogyakarta and the hotel operator
such Marriot International, Accor, and Archipelago. The existing and potential customers
of Innside by Melia Yogyakarta cannot move into a community to beat its main
competitor, The Sheraton by Mustika Yogyakarta, because no pool factor encourages
them to do this.
The relevant way used by Innside by Melia Yogyakarta to form communities is
the Hub model. This community can unite because of the admiration factor for an
individual. Innside by Melia Yogyakarta can use influencers to form this community.
Based on the survey results in Table 2.10 and 2.11, potential customers from Persona 2
and 3 place Influencers as the best three touchpoint awareness for the word of mouth
category when they are aware of hotels in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. In Figure
2.63, Persona 1, 2, and 3 members like influencers in the tourism and culinary fields to
represent a hotel brand. An influencer in this field was chosen because it can provide
relevant and reliable information so that the three personas want to have a vacation in the
Special Region of Yogyakarta.
According to the author's analysis, the right influencer who can fulfill all three
personas' desires is an influencer like Rio Dewanto. Rio Dewanto is an artist and
influencer who is currently joining the coffee lovers community in Indonesia. Besides, he
is also the CEO of the Yogyakarta Coffee Philosophy cafe, which has been made a feature
film. Rio Dewanto has 1.5 million followers on his Instagram. Rio Dewanto can become
a magnet for the tourism and culinary community of the Special Region of Yogyakarta,
formed by Innside by Melia Yogyakarta. Besides, Innside by Melia Yogyakarta can also
collaborate with the Filosofi Kopi cafe and coffee lovers community that Rio Dewanto is
participating in so that the potential customers of Innside by Melia Yogyakarta from these
communities will increase.

178
For local influencers of the Special Region of Yogyakarta who can become a
magnet for the tourism and culinary community formed by Innside by Melia Yogyakarta
is Gina Meidina. Gina Meidina is a beauty, food, and travel influencer, owner of the
Lantai Bumi cafe and Culture Head Coffee Yogyakarta. Gina Meidina likes to create
content on tourism and culinary themes in the Special Region of Yogyakarta and around.
Gina Meidina has 849 thousand followers on her Instagram.
When Innside by Melia Yogyakarta has formed the tourism and culinary
community with the choice of the two influencers, a Web model can be implemented to
raising the community that Innside by Melia Yogyakarta has created in digital form.
An alternative way is to join or collaborate with existing communities. Based on
VRIO analysis in Table 2.4, Innside by Melia Yogyakarta has a sustained competitive
advantage in forming a network with The Alana Yogyakarta hotel because it is both
owned by PT Saraswanti Indoland Development. Innside by Melia Yogyakarta can ask
for community relations that have joined The Alana Yogyakarta, such as the Harley
Davidson and VW communities, and join these communities.
Innside by Melia Yogyakarta can also join other communities that are more in line
with their identity as a leisure hotel, such as collaborating with the Kaloka pottery, which
produces handicrafts in clay glass are widely used as souvenirs and Yogyakarta tourism
destinations. Then Innside by Melia Yogyakarta can also join the Jogja Hiphop
Foundation community, which can further show the identity of Innside by Melia
Yogyakarta as a lifestyle hotel for leisure travelers.
The alternative of making a community or joining/collaborating with the
community needs to be packaged in an event. According to the Figure 2.47 and 2.48,
content about the event can remind existing customers of Innside by Melia Yogyakarta.
The event can be in the form of a “kopi darat” event, tour, or dine dining held at Innside
by Melia Yogyakarta.

• Alternative media selected


Following the survey results in Figure 2.31, the media used in this strategy is
social media in the form of Instagram, Because the three personas agree that Instagram is
the main platform that can make them aware of hotels in the Yogyakarta. The most
popular Instagram features are Instagram stories and Instagram Ads. Then Innside by
Melia Yogyakarta can also add social messenger features from Instagram in the form of
Direct Messages.

179
Before using all these features, Innside by Melia Yogyakarta needs to recruit
employees to organize and retrieve social media content (social media officer). This
position is responsible for making good photos and video. Based on the survey, the three
personas think that these photos and video visuals are essential to make them aware of
hotels in Yogyakarta.
The Instagram Story feature will later need to be put in the history on the profile
because the Instagram story after 24 hours will disappear from the post and it needs to be
put in history. This history also needs to be grouped so that customers can easily see
according to what story category they want them to see again. Then Innside by Melia
Yogyakarta also needs to budget funds to be allocated for making Instagram Ads for
content about collaboration with communities and influencers.

• Alternative content selected


The content created in this communitization strategy contains content about the
interaction of Innside by Melia Yogyakarta with communities created by themselves or
communities invited to collaborate. This content must also contain the event being carried
out and published on the Instagram story.
Besides, the marketing communication and social media officer position need to
work together to create content about invitations to potential customers to participate in
the creation or collaboration process with the community and post it on Instagram stories,
Instagram Ads dan Direct Message Instagram.
Then if there is someone's Instagram account that posts the event or comments on
the content created by the Innside by Melia Yogyakarta Instagram account, the social
media officer needs to repost it on the Instagram story and put it in the history in the
review category.

b. Targeting to Confirmation
In the vertical targeting concept carried out by Innside by Melia Yogyakarta, three
categories must be met when determining the chosen market as the target. First, make
sure the selected segment is large and profitable. Second, the selected segment must be
on the company's competitive advantage. Third, the selected market segment must be
based on the competitive situation.
In New Wave Marketing, the concept of targeting the segment has been changed
to confirming the community. The criteria that must be met are relevance, active level,
and the number of community networks. Relevance is the same purpose, values, and
identity. The active level is how active the community is. The number of community

180
networks is how many networks are owned or can occur between a community and
another community. The following is an explanation of this strategy at Innside by Melia
Yogyakarta (Kartajaya, 2010: 100):

• Company activity
After meeting with influencers and communities in an event held at Innside by
Melia Yogyakarta, Innside by Melia Yogyakarta needs to assess which communities can
be confirmed according to the criteria of relevance, active level, and the number of
community networks.
Like the alternatives that have been given, if Innside by Melia Yogyakarta decides
to create its community, then suitable influencers to recruit are Rio Dewanto and Gina
Meidina. Meanwhile, suppose Innside by Melia Yogyakarta decides to collaborate, The
Alana Yogyakarta communities such as VW, Harley Davidson, and other collaborations
such as the Kaloka Pottery or the Jogja Hip-hop foundation can be options.
Based on the analysis formulated in the Chapter 2, Innside by Melia Yogyakarta
wants to make its hotel an "Urban Lifestyle Hotels for Smart Leisure Travelers". The
results of discussions with the General Manager of Innside by Melia Yogyakarta show
that definition of the urban lifestyle here is to make the urban people of the Special Region
of Yogyakarta as the hotel's identity. Leisure travelers do not need to go far to city centers
such as Malioboro and Tugu Yogyakarta. All things about the lifestyle of the Special
Region of Yogyakarta are at Innside by Melia Yogyakarta. The rest of the leisure travelers
need to visit tourist attractions that are "natural" or adventure around the Special Region
of Yogyakarta, such as Prambanan Temple, Boko, Pindul Cave and Innside by Melia
Yogyakarta can provide the tour package.
With the purposes, values, and identity that Innside by Melia Yogyakarta will
build, the author feels that Rio Dewanto can be chosen to be an influencer who represents
the community created by Innside by Melia Yogyakarta. His profile is also as desired by
Persona 1, 2, and 3 (potential and existing customers). His profile in F&B, tourism, and
the number of networks he has is very potential to be partners. However, it could also be
that Rio Dewanto was only invited to collaborate. Innside by Melia Yogyakarta can enter
the Rio Dewanto coffee-lovers community or collaborate with the Filosofi Kopi Cafe.
Then the Harley Davidson community, Kaloka Pottery, and the Jogja Hip-hop
foundation are also following the purposes, values, and identity of Innside by Melia
Yogyakarta. The Harley Davidson community represents the value of tourism and has
many active members and networks among other vehicle communities in the Special

181
Region of Yogyakarta. Kaloka Pottery and Jogja Hiphop Foundation follow the urban
Yogyakarta community's lifestyle today, which is identical to music and handicrafts.
These communities also need to confirm that Innside by Melia Yogyakarta is a
member or partner who can be invited to collaborate until an agreement is found and
mutual recognition of their membership between the two parties.

• Alternative media selected


The media that can be used at this stage is social media in the form of Instagram
with the Instagram story and Instagram feed features. social messenger in the form of
Instagram Direct Message. Then the media needed is the company database used to
collect data on each community that has reached an agreement to collaborate with Innside
by Melia Yogyakarta, or the community that Innside by Melia Yogyakarta has joined.

• Alternative content selected


The content that can be created at this strategy stage is content regarding the
establishment of cooperation between Innside by Melia Yogyakarta or communities that
have been entered by Innside by Melia Yogyakarta. This content needs to be loaded on
the Instagram story and Instagram feed. Instagram stories reposted by the community or
community members need to be reposted and put in the history category community.
Meanwhile, the Instagram feed is used to post photos that there has been cooperation or
collaboration between Innside by Melia Yogyakarta and a community.
The purpose of the Instagram story and Instagram feed content is making
customers who see the content become curious because there are new things at Innside
by Melia Yogyakarta. It is hoped that the desire to have another vacation in the Special
Region of Yogyakarta and stay again at Innside by Melia Yogyakarta. As for potential
customers, they know that if there is an event that involves the community, it will be held
at Innside by Melia Yogyakarta. Potential customers become aware and find out more
about Innside by Melia Yogyakarta. Besides, the more people view the feed and story
content, the more likely it is to appear on the Instagram explore each account that
interested in traveling. The spread of news about Innside by Melia Yogyakarta with the
community is getting bigger.
Customer Relationship Management (CRM) needs to collect data on collaborating
communities or those that Innside by Melia Yogyakarta is involved. Not only that,
members of each community that have Instagram account recorded, followed up, and then
in Direct Message, write the message of greeting for them. Closeness between Innside
and community members needs to be built.

182
c. Positioning to Clarification
In the vertical positioning concept, positioning is about building trust, confidence,
and competence for customers. When everything is built, the company's brand will be in
the minds of the customers. Based on this concept, positioning is a company-driven
practice. Companies try to build perceptions that penetrate the minds of consumers
(Kartajaya, 2010: 112).
In the New Wave Marketing concept, everyone has the right to perceive what they
think about a brand. Then this perception can spread widely through the internet media.
In this strategy, Innside by Melia Yogyakarta needs to clarify the identity of Innside by
Melia Yogyakarta in the eyes of communities that have been formed or invited to
collaborate. The following is a form of activities of Innside by Melia on clarification:

• Company activity
Activities carried out by Innside by Melia Yogyakarta at this stage are to clarify
who they are, what goals and values they want to bring to the communities formed, or
collaborating with Innside by Melia Yogyakarta. In this case, Innside by Melia
Yogyakarta can do this by forming a meeting event with these communities.
Representatives from Innside by Melia Yogyakarta asked for facts from community
members, what they saw as the company so far, and representatives from Innside by Melia
Yogyakarta provided clarification so that an understanding was realized two parties
regarding who Innside by Melia Yogyakarta was.

• Alternative media selected


The media used by Innside by Melia Yogyakarta is the same, Instagram with its
feature an Instagram story. Customer Relationship Management is still with its database
trying to record what communities can be reached and their members who can be invited
and have similar thoughts.

• Alternative content selected


When the event has ended, and Customer Relationship Management has been
followed and follow back by each community and its members, the next step is to clarify
via Instagram. Through an Instagram story made by the social media officer, Innside by
Melia Yogyakarta can conduct a poll about what kind of hotel they are. Let the
community make up their perceptions. All perceptions of participating Instagram
accounts are reposted so that potential customers can see the identity of Innside by Melia
Yogyakarta in the eyes of its communities.

183
Then, let them discuss with each other and respond to their comments one by one
so that there is a good relationship between them. After the discussion was over, Innside
by Melia Yogyakarta clarified what kind of identity they carried. Then let the community
members confirmed the clarification and spread the content so that "free marketing" can
occur by members of each community.

2. New Wave Tactics


After developing a strategy, the next stage in New Wave Marketing is to formulate
tactics. In legacy marketing, the tactics consist of differentiation, marketing mix (product,
price, place, promotion), and selling. Differentiation is used as a tactic to differentiate
content, context, and infrastructure. The marketing mix integrates the company's offering,
logistics, and communications. Selling is an activity to generate cash for the company.

Figure 3. 5. New Wave Tactics (Kertajaya, 2010: 122)

At the New Wave Tactics stage, everything is made horizontal into codification,
co-creation, currency, communal activation, conversation, and commercialization. Here
is an explanation of each tactic:

a. Differentiation to Codification
In New Wave Marketing, just creating differentiation is not enough. Companies
need to identify the various aspects that make them genuinely distinct down to the DNA
level, not just the surface. Companies must also be able to connect with customers to
make products that no one can resemble (Kartajaya, 2010: 124).

• Company activity
Based on the survey results in Figure 2.69, each Persona prefers a hotel with a
lifestyle hotel (leisure) when on vacation in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. Therefore,
the DNA that Innside by Melia Yogyakarta wants to bring and differentiates it from other
184
leisure hotels in the Special Region of Yogyakarta is the value regarding urban lifestyle.
The urban lifestyle is defined as a hotel that resembles urban communities' lives in the
Special Region of Yogyakarta. Everything customers want to look for in the Special
Region of Yogyakarta is at Innside by Melia Yogyakarta. Stay at Innside by Melia
Yogyakarta, and customers can experience the Special Region of Yogyakarta in its
entirety. Based on table 2.60, regarding the experience of Persona 1 members when
staying at Innside by Melia Yogyakarta, they are not satisfied with the location of Innside
by Melia Yogyakarta, which must use a vehicle if they want to go to tourist and culinary
spots in Yogyakarta. DNA urban lifestyle hotel that was formed by Innside by Melia
Yogyakarta at the same time to solve this problem. Customers do not need to leave the
hotel to enjoy the crowd. Just stay at the hotel, because everything about Special Region
of Yogyakarta such culinary and tourism is here.
The credibility of the DNA must be maintained. Therefore, the community
collaborating with Innside by Melia Yogyakarta must be maintained. With the existence
of a community, Innside by Melia Yogyakarta no longer works alone and gets support to
maintain its credibility in the market.
The author recommends three main communities to collaborate. Harley Davidson
community as representatives of the tourism community; Kaloka Pottery as a
representative of the handicraft arts community; and Jogja HipHop Foundation from
representatives of the music arts community. The three communities were then packaged
with Rio Dewanto influencers who could also become representatives of the Food and
Beverage community.
Innside by Melia Yogyakarta needs to always clarify its existence in the eyes of
its communities and influencer regarding its existence, presence, and purpose. The goal
is that the communities and influencer genuinely believe and feel that Innside by Melia
Yogyakarta has not changed DNA, remains authentic. They can help provide clarification
via social media when there are complaints or problems faced by Innside by Melia.

• Alternative media selected


The media used can be Instagram with its Instagram story, and Instagram feeds
features. Then online discussion from each Instagram belonging to the collaborating
community can also be used. Based on the survey results in Figure 2.32 and 2.33, the
Youtube and Tiktok platforms can also be used because each persona used the two
platforms to be aware of hotels in the Yogyakarta after Instagram. Innside by Melia does
not yet have these two social media accounts, so they need to be created first.

185
• Alternative content selected
Content that can be created is content that can convey the company's DNA. Social
media creators can make the content into short videos uploaded on the Instagram story or
Tiktok platform or long videos with good visualization and uploaded on Youtube. Each
Instagram account and other social media belonging to each community can also be
empowered by creating their respective content (which is directed and assisted by creating
the content by Innside by Melia Yogyakarta), which contains content about their
community activities at Innside by Melia Yogyakarta. Content created by each
community can be reposted on the Instagram account of Innside by Melia Yogyakarta.
This content strategy is expected to generate respect from each potential and
existing customer who sees it. Existing customers will feel that Innside by Melia
Yogyakarta still has a different DNA from other leisure hotels. Meanwhile, potential
customers feel that Innside by Melia Yogyakarta is an exciting hotel to stay. Hopefully,
they will be more interested in joining these communities and trying to stay overnight or
repeat orders at Innside by Melia Yogyakarta.

b. Product to Co-creation
In legacy marketing, the process of developing a new product is carried out
company-centric or product-centric because the company controls the product
development, and only a few consumers are asked to consider the product.
In the New Wave era, the process of developing a product was carried out
horizontally. Companies provide opportunities for consumers to actively participate in
developing new products so that new products create the company and its consumers
(Kartajaya, 2010: 132).

• Company activity
Based on the survey results in Figure 2.96, existing customers from Persona 1 feel
that Innside by Melia Yogyakarta has a shortage of photo spots that are less and the spot
photo is not “Instagramable”. Even though Persona 2 and 3 include “Instagramable”
photo spot criteria as the main value of the hotel they will book. Therefore, Innside by
Melia can involve existing, potential customers and their communities to create an events
such as the customer version of the Instagramable photo spot design contest.
This photo spot design contest is made thematically each four month and is
contested. All ideas collected will be thrown back on social media, whichever is the best
for them. The community, existing and potential customers can be participate to make
and choose the decoration. Prizes for winners can be given items from the Kaloka Pottery

186
craft community. Alternatively, the prize could be a walk and drink coffee with Rio
Dewanto and Harley Davidson. Alternatively, customers can also have dinner and stay
for free while seeing the appearance of the Jogja Hiphop foundation at the Skydeck
rooftop and bar which are facilities that are considered the best by Persona 1, 2, and 3 and
can provide value in the form of views of Mount Merapi and the beautiful city of
Yogyakarta. Apart from decoration, Innside by Melia Yogyakarta can also apply the same
thing to their food menu at Syndeo Restaurant.

• Alternative media selected


The media that can be used is Instagram with the Instagram story feature,
Instagram Ads, Instagram feeds and also Instagram explore. The Instagram of each
community was also involved in enlivening this event.

• Alternative content selected


The content created is contest content with prizes that everyone can be involved
in to create and choose the best decoration for Innside by Melia Yogyakarta every month
or periodically. Besides, the content also includes Rio Dewanto influencers so that
potential customers who are majority domiciled in DKI Jakarta and around can also know
about this event and participate.
Marketing communication and social media officers help each other organize this
event to existing communities and form good content to be shared with each community
to be passed on to its members. Any questions via Instagram Direct Message or comments
on feeds must also be answered immediately. Instagram Ads was again empowered to
disseminate information about this event so that more people are aware of Innside by
Melia Yogyakarta and its communities.

c. Promotion to Conversation
In legacy marketing, advertisements are dominated by advertisements in
conventional media such as television and billboards that can reach the broader
community quickly. However, this promotion requires much money. Besides, promotion
with mass media is a promotion that is unidirectional.
The promotion practice from legacy to New Wave Marketing is not just moving
from conventional media to digital media. Promotion practice must also involve
consumers in two directions or called the conversation (Kartajaya, 2010: 166).

187
• Company activity
The implementation of the conversation strategy for Innside by Melia Yogyakarta
will be easier if it can enter social media controlled and owned by consumers. The
conversation strategy implemented is to make Innside by Melia Yogyakarta a
conversation topic between one consumer and another. Products that need to be promoted
are bookings via the Melia website and application.
Innside by Melia Yogyakarta can ask their influencers, for example Rio Dewanto,
to open a Q&A session on his personal Instagram. Then conversations can occur with
each other. Rio Dewanto can recommend Innside by Melia Yogyakarta as a hotel to stay
in a while on vacation in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. Besides, Rio Dewanto can
open conversation as the most worth staying hotel in Yogyakarta. Then explain the
advantages of booking via the Melia website and application compared to using OTA, a
favorite for leisure travelers for booking hotel rooms.
Other communities can also create online seminars that tell about their various
activities at Innside. In this kind of conversation, the writer feels effective because there
is an interaction between the two parties and follows the current era.

• Alternative media selected


The media used for this conversation strategy is social media in Instagram with
features in Instagram Stories and Instagram feeds. Then between Innside by Melia
Yogyakarta's Instagram social media, influencers and the community collaborate by
putting the Instagram account name in each of their Instagram profile descriptions.

• Alternative content selected


In this conversation strategy, Innside by Melia Yogyakarta cannot move alone.
They need Influencers and their communities to chat with potential and existing
customers about the Innside by Melia Yogyakarta brand. Innside by Melia Yogyakarta
only needs to prepare content that can be discussed, such as "the advantages of booking
hotels via websites and apps compared to OTA." Then the content about the best tourist
destinations and hotels to stay in the Special Region of Yogyakarta.
When Influencers and their communities talk with potential customers about this,
Innside by Melia Yogyakarta posts content on Instagram stories and feeds about the
benefits of using Melia's website and apps, or what is Melia Rewards—then continued
with content regarding hotel facilities, ambiance and others. When influencers and the
community finish talking with potential customers, it is hoped that potential customers
will be curious and then open an Instagram account of Innside by Melia Yogyakarta from

188
the description of the Instagram biodata belonging to the Influencer and community. The
traffic to the Innside by Melia Yogyakarta's Instagram account increases, the latest
content is seen and read, and the message about the Melia website and apps is conveyed.

d. Selling to Commercialization
According to Kartajaya (2010: 176), in the New Wave Marketing strategy, there
are two main competencies that a salesman must-have. The two competencies are the
ability to map and build an effective network to support the sales process (mapping and
building an effective network) and optimize the network to get sales through
recommendations (commercializing the network). The following is an explanation of the
application of the commercialization strategy at Innside by Melia Yogyakarta:

• Company activity
Based on VRIO analysis in Figure 2.9, Innside by Melia Yogyakarta has a network
with The Alana Yogyakarta, which is already in operation and is more present in the
Special Region of Yogyakarta. This relationship can support the hotel room sales process
by exchanging customers and providing data and information about potential customers
that can be reached.
Then what can be done is to optimize the communities they have. Innside by Melia
Yogyakarta can again create “kopi darat” events that are held regularly. From this event,
new people will be found to be prospected as potential customers and loyal customers of
Innside by Melia Yogyakarta.

• Alternative media selected


The media that can be used is a social media platform in the form of Instagram
with features used in Instagram stories, Instagram feeds, and Instagram Ads to post “kopi
darat” events with each community-owned. Then a social messenger platform is also
needed, such as Direct Message Instagram and Whatsapp.

• Alternative content selected


The content needed at this stage is content about the togetherness of
representatives of Innside by Melia Yogyakarta with potential or existing customers who
attend the “kopi darat” event. Photo or video them and upload them on Instagram stories
or feeds with their name tags. Then follow them. Then they will notice with Instagram
Innside by Melia Yogyakarta and follow back. To build good relationships, ask their
WhatsApp number to send photos of together at the event, or if they are reluctant to give,
send via Instagram Direct Message. Customer Relationship Management is also ready to

189
enter these people in the database for data so that the marketing communications
department can follow them up on an ongoing basis.

3. New Wave Value


The last thing that is formulated in New Wave Marketing after strategy and tactics
are value. In legacy marketing, the value here consists of brand, service, and process.
Then at New Wave Value, all components are transformed into character, care, and
collaboration. The following is an explanation of each value strategy:

Figure 3. 6. New Wave Value (Kartajaya, 2010: 187)

a. Brand to Character
In New Wave Marketing, Brand is character. Character is the real content of a
company. Meanwhile, a brand is a wrap that is only visible from the outside (Kartajaya,
2010: 188). Even though the logo of a brand changes, customers will not disappear from
the brand as long as it has a strong character. Here is how it applies to Innside:

• Company activity
As stated in the previous discussion, Innside by Melia Yogyakarta has DNA as an
urban lifestyle hotel for leisure travelers. Everything customers are looking for in the city
of Yogyakarta can be found at Innside by Melia Yogyakarta. Communities recommended
by the author, such as music, handicrafts, motorbikes, and food and beverage, are
communities that describe the character of Yogyakarta and can be found at Innside by
Melia Yogyakarta. Therefore, these communities need to be well monitored by Innside
by Melia Yogyakarta not to change DNA and character.
Activities that can be done so that character does not change ask for
recommendations, criticisms, and suggestions from existing communities and potential
and existing customers via social media. Innside by Melia Yogyakarta can survive with
this kind of character and DNA.
190
Besides, Innside by Melia Yogyakarta can also make an online poll on whether
their logo needs to be changed with the characters and DNA they currently have. Then
involve them in creating a new logo or creation for Innside by Melia Yogyakarta.

• Alternative media selected


The media that can be used is Instagram with the Instagram story, and Instagram
feeds feature. The content issued is content about asking for recommendations, criticism,
and suggestions regularly and a poll to ask whether a logo change is needed at Innside by
Melia Yogyakarta. Then, each answer will be reposted via Instagram story. Then, the logo
creations that match the best characters of Innside by Melia Yogyakarta are posted on
Instagram feeds. Then the community, existing and potential customers are asked to
choose again.

b. Service to Care
According to Kartajaya (2010: 199), In New Wave Marketing, there is a
difference between service and care. Service is something that consumers want.
Meanwhile, care is something that consumers need. New Wave Marketing requires
companies to provide something consumers need without being asked. The following is
an explanation at Innside by Melia Yogyakarta.

• Company activity
The leisure hotels requested by Persona 1, 2, and 3 are hotels that can provide
more "Instagramable" photo spots. Often what consumers need is someone who can
photograph them well and can provide a right angle. Therefore, Innside by Melia
Yogyakarta can provide care in the form of photo services. When employees see
customers taking photos, they will try to offer customers their photos, send them to the
customer's device, upload them to the hotel's Instagram, and tag its account. Innside by
Melia Yogyakarta also has the benefit of free existing customer documentation and
awareness without asking them to upload it first.

• Alternative media selected


The media that can be selected are social media in the form of Instagram with the
Instagram story and social messenger in Direct Message Instagram and Whatsapp.

191
c. Process to Collaboration
In the New Wave Marketing strategy, the company's activities in designing,
buying, making, and sending goods or services are more horizontal because they are
supported by the strength of information technology's connectivity (Kartajaya, 2010:
210). Here is how it applies to Innside by Melia Yogyakarta:

• Company activity
Innside by Melia Yogyakarta already has a platform in the form of the Melia
website and application. However, based on the survey results in Table 2.20 until 2.23,
Persona 1, 2, and 3 are more aware of hotels in the Special Region of Yogyakarta when
using social media, OTA, and media feedback.
Innside by Melia Yogyakarta needs to build a platform that is integrated. If
customers are more aware and comfortable using social media, then Instagram is used to
reach the Melia website and application. They must use and market it with mouth and
mouth from influencers like Rio Dewanto and the existing communities.
Give members of each community involved in free access and Melia reward
points to help get customers who book Innside by Melia Yogyakarta hotel rooms via the
website or download the application. Help each member of the community by posting
any content they create related to websites and applications.

• Alternative media selected


The media that can be chosen are Instagram with the Instagram story, Instagram
feeds features and the Innside by Melia Yogyakarta website and application.

• Alternative content selected


Content that can be created is content regarding the benefits of using the Melia
website and application. Provide content on how to download it on a smartphone or laptop
so that each community member, existing and potential customers are aware of the
platform. Then provide content on the convenience of booking, ordering, requesting
service, and benefits in the Melia Rewards for discounts on the next booking.

The following is an explanation of various alternatives solution of social media
content that are planned for existing and potential customers of Innside by Melia
Yogyakarta and are arranged in order of the most priority to be implemented:

3.2.1. Awareness for Potential Customers


1. Upload about DNA Innside by Melia Yogyakarta
The first action plan is to upload photos or videos about DNA Innside by Melia
Yogyakarta in the awareness of potential customers. There are three content that must be
uploaded, content regarding the profile of Innside by Melia Yogyakarta as an urban
lifestyle hotel for leisure travelers, community profiles in collaboration with Innside by
Melia Yogyakarta, and influencer profiles from Innside by Melia Yogyakarta. These three
things are the DNA of Innside by Melia Yogyakarta.
This action plan must be posted first because based on the overall survey results
formulated in the root cause analysis in Figure 2.122., one of the problems with Innside
by Melia Yogyakarta's low social media awareness is the lack of awareness of potential
customers at Innside by Melia Yogyakarta. This brand from Melia is less familiar to
customers because this hotel is the first hotel to use the Innside by Melia brand in the Asia
Pacific. In Figure 2.23, as an international hotel operator, Melia Hotels International is
also less well known when compared to other operators such as Marriot International,
Accor, and Archipelago.
Besides, the content regarding DNA Innside by Melia Yogyakarta includes the
implementation of the New Wave Marketing strategy in the form of codification. Through
this content, it is hoped that potential customers can understand the DNA of Innside by
Melia Yogyakarta, which differentiates it from other hotels in the Special Region of
Yogyakarta. Based on Figure 2.47 and Figure 2.48, the first thing that attracts potential
customers' attention when viewing social media belonging to hotel accounts in the Special
Region of Yogyakarta is a good photo and video content and interesting influencers.
These two things must be applied to the photo or video content of Innside by Melia
Yogyakarta to see the content and aware of Innside by Melia Yogyakarta.
There are three key performance indicators of this content: the number of people
reached when many potential customers open this content. The second is the engagement
rate when many interacting accounts comment on the photo or video content of Innside's
DNA and share the news to other accounts. Then the number of followers, when many
potential customers follow Instagram Innside by Melia Yogyakarta.

194
The posting time for the three contents is made alternately every month. Potential
customers' accounts as an audience do not receive too much information and can receive
this information well. Content about influencer profiles is created every four months,
assuming that many already know them. Besides, many influencers are also involved in
other content that can create potential customers notice that this public figure is an
influencer from Innside by Melia Yogyakarta. Posting hours are set in the evening (15.01
- 19.00) until night (19.01 - 24.00), because based on the preliminary survey Figure 2.27.,
These two hours are the hours of active potential customers to access social media.

2. Upload hotel promotion with influencers


Based on Figures 2.47 and 2.48, hotel promo content is the third thing that attracts
the attention of potential customers when viewing social media belonging to hotels in the
Special Region of Yogyakarta. Therefore, in implementing this plan, hotel promotion
content is created which involves influencers. Examples of content created are vlog
content from influencers who had the opportunity to staycation at Innside by Melia
Yogyakarta because of a promo. This content is an application of the New Wave
Marketing strategy regarding conversations. According to the survey results in Tables
2.10 and 2.11, potential customers believe that influencers are an excellent touchpoint for
them to be aware of hotels in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. Therefore, it is hoped
that with this vlog content, potential customers will believe that the promo provided by
Innside by Melia Yogyakarta is worth trying. Then potential customers pass this promo
information on to their friends so that the New Wave Marketing strategy of conversations
is successful.
There are four key performance indicators in this content: the number of people
reach, which indicates that potential customers widely view this vlog content. The number
of website address clicks on social media profiles and the number of apps download
indicates that the content has successfully led potential customers to find out more about
Innside by Melia Yogyakarta. The website conversion rate indicates the number of people
visiting the website and booking Innside by Melia Yogyakarta hotel rooms.
Because potential customers are interested in this content, this content will be
created every month with influencers who collaborate with Innside by Melia Yogyakarta.
Posting hours are set in the evening (15.01 - 19.00) until night (19.01 - 24.00), because
based on the preliminary survey Figure 2.27., These two hours are the hours of active
potential customers to access social media.

195
3. Upload facilities from Innside by Melia Yogyakarta
Apart from promo content, according to Figures 2.47 and 2.48, facility content is
the fourth-order content so that they are aware of hotels in the Yogyakarta Special Region.
It is also recommended that the content regarding this facility be made with content
regarding promotions. The content regarding the staycation vlog from influencers
contains two contents: the promo and facilities of Innside by Melia Yogyakarta. This
content's expected effect is the same as promo content, namely the success of
implementing the New Wave Marketing conversation strategy, where potential customers
who are initially attracted by influencers in the content then begin to see and pay attention
to the content. There is marketing in the form of word of mouth with potential customers.
They told the contents of this video to the people around him to become aware of Innside
by Melia Yogyakarta.
There are 3 Key Performance Indicators in this content, the number of people
reaches, which shows how many accounts of potential customers have seen this vlog
content. The second is the engagement rate. It is hoped that many accounts will begin to
ask questions about this facility in comments or Direct Message Instagram (according to
Figure 2.38, Direct Message Instagram is a social messenger that potential customers love
to be aware of hotels). The Innside by Melia Yogyakarta's social media officer replied
that message so that the engagement rate increases. When the engagement rate increases,
awareness of social media will also increase.
This vlog content is also created every month following the content about the
Innside by Melia Yogyakarta promo. Posting hours are set in the evening (15.01 - 19.00)
until night (19.01 - 24.00), because based on the preliminary survey Figure 2.27., These
two hours are the hours of active potential customers to access social media.

4. Upload Yogyakarta food and travel with influencers


Content about food and travel in the Special Region of Yogyakarta is also made to
make potential customers increasingly aware of Innside by Melia Yogyakarta. Based on
Figures 2.47 and 2.48, the content about tourism is only in fifth place from other content
that can make them aware of hotels in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. However, this
content is made as to the last priority. It hopes that the attraction of influencers who travel
around the Special Region of Yogyakarta looking for culinary and tourist spots can
influence the desire of potential customers to vacation in the Special Region of
Yogyakarta and try to stay at Innside by Melia Yogyakarta.

196
This content's key performance is the number of people reach, which is the number
of accounts that view this content. Then is the engagement rate, because the hope is that
it can lead to a discussion in the comments column of this post content or from Direct
Special Yogyakarta, which causes awareness of Innside by Melia Yogyakarta to increase.

potential customers do not receive too much information and can be more noticed by
potential customers. Posting hours are set in the evening (15.01 - 19.00) until night (19.01
- 24.00), because based on the preliminary survey Figure 2.27., These hours are the hours
of active potential customers to access social media.

they are aware and interested in Innside by Melia Yogyakarta. Because according to
Figures 2.10 and 2.11, a hotel review from a stranger is one touchpoint that can make
potential customers aware of the hotel being reviewed. Besides, customer satisfaction is
the implementation of the New Wave Marketing strategy in the form of character,
strengthening the DNA of Innside by Melia as a quality and satisfying leisure hotel.

engagement rate and awareness of Innside by Melia Yogyakarta.

content. Every month, it is assumed that existing Innside by Melia Yogyakarta customers

5. Upload DNA Innside by Melia Yogyakarta

priority, such as potential customers because members of each existing customer have
stayed and know what Innside by Melia Yogyakarta DNA looks like. However, by the
New Wave Marketing strategy in the form of clarification, this content also needs to be

of active existing customers to access social media.

6. Event for customers via social media


Events for customers via social media are events that involve each entity for
making a good relationship between Innside by Melia Yogyakarta with the community
and existing customers. The planned event is a contest in the form of a new Instagramable
photo spot design for Innside by Melia Yogyakarta. This content is a manifestation of the
New Wave Marketing strategy in the form of co-creation. Based on the survey results, it
can be seen that the value desired by existing customers while staying at the hotel is an
Instagramable photo spot. This photo spot needs to be replaced periodically so that
existing customers are curious and have reasons to return to Innside by Melia Yogyakarta.
By involving all these entities in the form of a contest, Innside by Melia Yogyakarta will
not run out of ideas to make spot photos.

strategy of care, which is to provide a service that customers do not ask for, but they need.
When customers take pictures in photo spots, they sometimes want to take photos
together, but no one takes photos. This moment is where each Innside by Melia
Yogyakarta employee's role is to take the initiative to take photos of these customers. The
photos are shared with customers and Innside by Melia Yogyakarta's Instagram. Both
parties will be happy. The advantage of Innside by Melia Yogyakarta is that they get free
documentation from customers and can be used as new content.
Key Performance Indicators for applying this content are the number of reaches,
number of followers, and shares. The more people share, the more existing customer-
friends will see the content and become aware of Innside by Melia Yogyakarta.

3. Upload products from Innside by Melia Yogyakarta


The products referred to in this content are products related to the New Wave
Marketing strategy in collaboration. This product is the Melia website and apps. Then
there is also a loyalty program in the form of a Melia Reward. There are still many
customers who are not aware of these two products and programs. From the survey results
in the decision-making stage, it can be seen that the majority of existing customers booked
hotels via OTA. It is rare to use the website.
Therefore, this content was created with the influencers' help, and the idea is packed
with Q&A from the influencers' Instagram account. This content was then enriched with

results are also supported by BPS data (2020: 23) that the purpose of travelers to the
Special Region of Yogyakarta is for travel. Not for business. Hotels that are the choice
for Persona 1, 2, and 3 members when visiting the Special Region of Yogyakarta are
specific leisure types such as lifestyle hotels. This data proves that Innside by Melia needs
to do a repositioning and position its hotel as a hotel for leisure travelers.

2. What are the suitable social media content strategies to attract more followers
of Innside by Melia Yogyakarta account?
The right social media content strategy to attract more followers of Innside by
Melia Yogyakarta is content that engages communities with the same goals and values as
Innside by Melia Yogyakarta. Besides, these communities are also maintained with
influencers following the DNA of Innside by Melia Yogyakarta, which follows the
preferences of each Persona.

3. How to attract potential customers from the leisure travelers segment through
the process of the purchase journey within social media?
The main problem with the purchase journey that has been analyzed is the
awareness stage. Existing customers (Persona 1) are still aware of Innside by Melia
Yogyakarta in a vertical way because Innside by Melia Yogyakarta still prioritizes legacy
marketing. Social media has not been used appropriately.
Therefore, the way to attract potential customers to make purchasing journey via
social media is by improving the visual photos and video content of Innside by Melia
Yogyakarta first. Then hire influencers according to their preferences (tourism and
culinary). An example of an influencer that authors recommend is Rio Dewanto. Then
form or collaborate with the community according to the DNA Innside by Melia
Yogyakarta and potential interest customers. They are interested in tourism and culinary
203
Yogyakarta. The authors recommend collaborating with the communities Kaloka Pottery,
Harley Davidson, and the Jogja Hiphop Foundation.
Then, at the research and consideration stage, give a campaign about the activities
that can be done at Innside by Melia Yogyakarta with the community. Also, provide
content about “Instagramable” photo facilities and spots, and provide content about
booking benefits using the Melia website and apps, which is supported by distributing the
content with the community and influencers. Provide a website address and download the
app in the Instagram profile description or take advantage of the swipe up feature to make
it easier for customers to book via the two platforms.

4. How to maintain existing customers from the leisure travelers segment through
experience within social media?
The way to maintain existing customers through experience within social media
is to keep a two-way relationship between Innside by Melia Yogyakarta and existing
customers. Involve them in many things. Maintain the credibility of DNA Innside by
Melia Yogyakarta. Then create a new experience at Innside by Melia Yogyakarta by
involving the community and existing customers so that they have a reason to return to
stay quickly.
An example is inviting them to join communities that have been invited to
collaborate with Innside by Melia Yogyakarta. Follow these community accounts so that
customers know about activities soon and are interested in returning to Innside by Melia
Yogyakarta. Then is to create an online event such as Instagramable decoration quizzes
and consumer food creations. Decoration and good food are then collected and shared
again on social media for consumers to choose and apply to Innside for a certain period.
Then from social media, involve the community and customers to create new things that
must be present at Innside by Melia Yogyakarta.

Melia Yogyakarta.

LIST OF APPENDICES

Appendix 1. Script of The Interview Result

Interviewer : Arief Fathoni Argadian (I)


Interviewee : General Manager of Innside by Melia Yogyakarta (G)
Date : October 15, 2020
Location : Innside by Melia Yogyakarta

I : Selamat sore Bapak, perkenalkan saya Arief Fathoni Argadian mahasiswa MBA
ITB semester akhir. Dalam rangka memenuhi tugas akhir, saya mencoba untuk
dapat membantu menyelesaikan permasalahan yang sedang dialami oleh
perusahaan khususnya mengenai permasalahan pada bidang marketing. Apakah
saya boleh memohon waktu Bapak untuk mendalami permasalahan tersebut?
G : Silahkan, sekiranya apa yang ingin Anda ketahui?
I : Baik Pak, sebagai langkah awal saya ingin mengetahui asal usul dari hotel
Innside by Melia Yogyakarta dan seperti apakah konsep hotel ini?
G : Innside by Melia Yogyakarta adalah merek hotel yang berada dibawah naungan
operator Melia Hotels International. Brand Innside by Melia yang ada di
Yogyakarta ini merupakan hotel pertama di Asia Pasifik yang menggunakan brand
Innside by Melia. Konsep hotel ini adalah Urban Lifestyle Hotel dengan target
pasar pada segmen Business dan Leisure Travelers.
I : Sejak kapan hotel ini beroperasi?
G : Hotel ini beroperasi sejak bulan Maret tahun 2017.
I : Sebagai hotel pertama di Asia Pasifik yang menggunakan brand Innside by
Melia, apakah terdapat kendala dari awal beroperasi hingga saat ini?
G : Terlepas dari pandemi Covid 19 yang terjadi saat ini, terdapat suatu kendala
berupa keinginan jajaran direksi untuk meningkatkan revenue hotel. Memang,
pada dua tahun terakhir, revenue kita terus meningkat. Hanya saja, revenue kita
masih kalah dengan hotel-hotel pesaing yang ada di Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta.
I : Segmen apa yang paling banyak berkontribusi untuk Innside by Melia
Yogyakarta?
G : Sebagai hotel untuk business dan leisure travelers, segmen business saat ini
merupakan segmen yang berkontribusi paling banyak untuk perusahaan secara

210
okupansi dan rate kamar hotel. Segmen ini banyak kita raih melalui kerjasama
dengan korporat yang ada di Indonesia.
I : Kemudian, apakah ada kendala untuk meraih lebih banyak segmen business
travelers ini Pak?
G : Fasilitas MICE dan kapasitas yang kita miliki seperti ruang meeting masih kalah
dengan hotel pesaing. Selain itu, hotel juga tidak memiliki area pengembangan
lagi jika harus membangun fasilitas MICE yang lebih besar untuk business
travelers. Akibatnya, banyak perusahaan yang tidak deal dengan kita karena hal
tersebut. Okupansi kamar hotel dapat memenuhi permintaan mereka, namun tidak
untuk fasilitas MICE. Selain itu, terdapat kendala berupa channel booking.
Perusahaan banyak yang masih booking via tour travel, agency dan OTA padahal
kita memiliki website dan aplikasi sendiri berupa Melia.com. Akibatnya kita
jarang mendapatkan keuntungan maksimal dari penjualan kamar hotel karena kita
harus membayar fee yang cukup besar sekitar 15-20% tiap penjualan kamar hotel
pada tour travel, agency, dan OTA.
I : Apa yang sudah dilakukan pihak Innside by Melia Yogyakarta untuk mengatasi
hal tersebut?
G : Kami mencoba untuk fokus dan mengarah pada segmen leisure travelers yang
selama ini tidak memberikan kontribusi yang signifikan pada hotel. Kita ingin
memaksimalkan fasilitas yang kita punya untuk segmen leisure travelers sehingga
bisa mengimbangi kontribusi dari segmen business travelers.
I : Apakah ada kendala pada Innside by Melia Yogyakarta ketika mengarahkan
pasar ke leisure travelers?
G : Kendala ada pada awareness leisure travelers pada brand Innside by Melia
Yogyakarta. Pertama, karena brand Innside by Melia Yogyakarta merupakan
brand baru di Indonesia, bahkan se Asia Pasifik, sehingga muncul keraguan dari
mereka untuk staycation di hotel ini. Selain itu, leisure travelers yang kita kejar
adalah generasi millennial yang sadar dengan teknologi dan internet. Media yang
kita miliki belum termanfaatkan secara maksimal seperti sosial media, website
dan aplikasi. Banyak yang belum mengetahui ketiga media ini.
I : Apakah ada kendala pada pengelolaan sosial media milik Innside by Melia
Yogyakarta?
G : Kendala yang terjadi adalah tidak adanya posisi karyawan yang secara spesifik
dan khusus untuk menangani sosial media ini. Selama ini yang menangani sosial
media adalah karyawan bagian marketing dan komunikasi yang memiliki tugas
211
yang tidak spesifik untuk menangani sosial media. Akibatnya, pekerjaan mereka
terpecah dan mereka tidak terlatih untuk membuat konten yang bagus, sehingga
banyak yang tidak tertarik dan aware dengan sosial media milik kita.
I : Apakah ada harapan khusus jika sosial media dapat berfungsi dengan baik?
G : Harapan kami, sosial media dapat berintegrasi dengan baik dengan website dan
aplikasi Melia. Melalui sosial media, tiap akun dapat melakukan klik menuju
website dan download aplikasi Melia untuk mengetahui promo terbaru,
meningkatkan booking via website dan aplikasi melia. Kemudian mengurangi
jumlah booking via tour travels, agency, dan OTA.
I : Apakah tidak bermasalah jika Innside by Melia Yogyakarta lebih fokus pada
segmen leisure dibandingkan dengan business travelers?
G : Tidak bermasalah. Selama fasilitas masih ada untuk kedua segmen tersebut, tidak
merubah banyak produk yang tersedia, maka tidak menjadi masalah karena masih
sesuai dengan ketentuan dari operatot Melia Hotels International.
I : Sosial media apa saja yang dimiliki Innside by Melia Yogyakarta dan perbaikan
seperti apa yang diinginkan untuk website dan aplikasi Melia?
G : Website dan aplikasi Melia tidak dapat kami rubah kontennya, karena terpusat
dari operator Melia Hotels International yang mengelola. Selain itu website dan
aplikasi melia terdiri dari gabungan semua merek dibawah naungan Melia Hotels
International. Yang dapat dirubah kontennya adalah sosial media yang kita miliki.
Kita memiliki 2 sosial media yaitu Instagram dan Facebook yang mayoritas
penggunanya adalah millennial. Sesuai dengan target pasar yang diarahkan pada
Innside by Melia Yogyakarta. Namun saat ini kami harus memilih untuk lebih
fokus pada Instagram dibanding Facebook.
I : Baik Pak, terimakasih atas informasi yang telah diberikan pada saya. Hasil dari
informasi ini akan saya analisis lebih dalam lagi guna membantu untuk
menyelesaikan permasalahan tersebut. Terimakasih Bapak.
G : Baik terimakasih kembali.
