Mr. Irmansjah Mahadewa, S.E., MM.Par., CHA., CHIA., CMTA-TQ who is fondly called Pak Inan was previously the General Manager of the Archipelago Group, namely Aston Hotel. In his presentation, he conveyed about the Hotel Business both before and after the pandemic. The hotel business is now increasingly dynamic in line with the times, one of which is Industry 4.0. More and more Business Hotels are using and absorbing the Tourism 4.0 concept, with features such as Online Booking, cashless payment, touchless facilities, digital information, and strong wifi networks in every area making Hotel Business more attractive, especially among millennials. In addition, the Covid-19 Pandemic phenomenon has led to standardization and changes in tourist behavior that are increasingly paying more attention to safety and cleanliness, therefore the Tourism and Hospitality business must have a CHSE Certificate which has been audited by the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy. Therefore, the Digital and Pandemic transitions generate new concepts and ideas in the Hotel and Hospitality Business.
