IN ORDER to encourage the recovery of the country’s tourism industry which was disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, Traveloka in collaboration with Citilink presented a #PromoTengahTahun which is valid for five cities.
According to Iko Putera, Director of Transport Traveloka, during the virtual launch of #PromoTengahTahun on Wednesday (6/16) said this program can be found through the Airline Ticket product in the Traveloka application. #PromoTengahTahun offers a special price for the ‘regular zone section’ with a 20% discount for the booking period from 16-27 June 2021.
“This promo is valid for departure routes from Jakarta, Medan, Yogyakarta, Surabaya or Makassar to all domestic destinations. Not only that, this promotional program also allows consumers to get Traveloka Eats vouchers as well as discounts for purchasing CitiSport memberships through Traveloka Xperience,” he said.
Iko Putera added that, as a lifestyle superapp, we believe that bringing innovation through technology development and expanding collaboration is one strategy to overcome the pandemic that has a snowball effect to stimulate domestic tourism and boost the national economy.
“The #PromoTengahTahun program also prioritizes aspects of health protocols that are in accordance with national and international standards through various implemented initiatives. In addition to the initiatives carried out by Citilink, Traveloka also provides a sense of security and comfort during the pandemic through the end-to-end Traveloka Clean Partners product portfolio, ranging from Airport Shuttle services, COVID-19 Test bookings, various accommodation options, car rentals, exploring the city through local services products Traveloka Xperience, to purchasing insurance products,” said Iko.
Meanwhile, Benny Rustanto, Chief Commercial Officer, PT Citilink Indonesia, said Citilink is committed to providing the best service for passengers to provide a sense of security and comfort during the trip. We understand that in the midst of a pandemic situation, the implementation of strict health protocols is crucial to break the chain of spread of COVID-19.
“Citilink applies strict health protocols in all lines of flight operations, starting from before to after flights in accordance with government regulations, carrying out routine aircraft disinfection, using a type of High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) air filter in all aircraft, contactless check-in, and all flight crews on duty have been vaccinated as a protective measure to avoid the transmission of the COVID-19 virus,” Benny noted.
In addition, Citilink also supports tourism through sport tourism, one of which is by presenting a special offer for CitiSport membership, which is expected to not only boost domestic tourism, but also encourage them to always adopt a healthy lifestyle.
Through #PromoTengahTahun, consumers are spoiled with choices of flying periods with various coupons and attractive offers until June 2022 as well as special prices for the ‘regular zone’ option, which is a product of special seat choices that offers services in the form of free drinks.
In addition, additional benefits such as free Traveloka Eats vouchers and a 20% discount for CitiSport membership with purchases through Traveloka Xperience can also be enjoyed by consumers during the program. The CitiSport program, which has been offered by Citilink since 2013, offers additional free baggage of up to 20 kg for passengers who bring sports equipment.
There are several sports activities that CitiSport members can enjoy, such as cycling (CitiCyclink), golf (CitiGolf), diving (CitiDiving), surfing (CitiSurfink), and hang gliding (CitiFly). CitiSport also accommodates the high public interest and awareness in implementing a healthy lifestyle.
“This can also be seen in the shift in tourism trends during the pandemic, where the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy stated that outdoor tourism filled with sports activities (sports tourism) is increasingly popular among the community, especially after the pandemic,” Benny concluded.
