The Covid-19 pandemic has taught all of us about clean living through the three actions of washing hands, wearing masks and keeping distance. The keyword in managing tourism in the midst of a pandemic is healthy tourism.

To prove it, the health protocol must be applied with discipline. Thus, it increases the confidence of domestic tourists to come to Bali. “Health protocol remains our focus at Aston hotels,” said Kenneth Sancho Valiant Gandasasmita, Sales Manager at Aston Denpasar Hotel & Convention Center, Bali.

Kenneth also added that readiness of Hotel Aston Denpasar in accepting domestic and local tourists, especially the facilities for implementing the health protocols, has been well provided. “Our guests become our most valuable assets, loyal members, and followers. At the earliest stage during this global outbreak, we implement significant health, safety and cleaning or disinfection measures at all our hotels to ensure the health and well-being of our staff and guests,” said Kenneth.

“Our hotel has also received a CHSE certificate, namely a certificate for implementing health protocols based on Cleanliness, Health, Safety, and Environmental Sustainability by the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy as an institution that houses the tourism sector and the creative economy,” he explained.

Apart from being CHSE certified, Aston Hotel has also been ‘Halal’ certified by the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) which ensures that all food and beverage preparations, from the kitchen to the preparation of food, our food supply chain and menus have been rigorously checked to meet our standards of Muslim culture.

“Hopefully, our hotel is the right choice for them for various events such as weddings, meetings and gatherings with capacities ranging from 20 to 2,000 people. With exclusive lift access and VIP access supported by 12 additional meeting rooms, an area for open-air events, a pool terrace, and an Exhibition Hall for various business or social events so that every event will be special,” he hoped.

Aston Denpasar Hotel & Convention Center is located in the business center of Denpasar where tourists can enjoy historical and cultural city icons such as Bali Art Center, Bajra Sandhi Monument, Pemecutan Palace, Jagatnatha Temple, Fingerprint Museum, Kumbasari Art Market, and Puputan Square.
