City Government Medan Asked to Stop New Hotel Development

Number of building a new hotel in Medan make the occupancy rate has dropped dramatically. If the condition continues to occur, we can be sure a number of hotels going out of business. The solution was just one, Pemko Medan permission must stop the new hotel.

"The condition of the hotel in Medan was not healthy, there are currently around 3,000 rooms in star hotels in Medan, but filled only about 2000 out of 1000 so there is an empty room," said hotel practitioners as well as General Manager of Garuda Plaza Hotel, Razali Muchtar, in a meeting, Saturday (3 / 7) then.

Today he said, a number of hotels in Medan, only able to meet the occupancy rate of 40 to 50 percent. The percentage that thinks very unhealthy for the hospitality business. According to Razali, the condition can not be allowed to continue. Because, when no attention from the government, it will be many employers who will be out of business hotel. "That is what will be a lot of new unemployment," he said.

To prevent this mass bankrupt, Pemko Medan must close the new permit the construction of hotels in Medan. Permits can be reopened if the airport's official Deliserdang Kualanamu in operation. "It certainly would increase demand for rooms, so there is no harm if permission was opened after the new airport in operation," he said.

On that occasion, Razali criticized the existence of unfair competition in Medan antarhotel. One of the sorotannya action is captured each prospective new residents arrived at the hotel's Polonia Airport, Medan. "Action is often applied to mutual persuasion at Polonia Airport, the hotel staff, even for guests booking a particular hotel," he concluded
