ALTHOUGH the pandemic is still ongoing, over time the current situation is getting better with more and more people being vaccinated and maintaining health protocols. This is also reflected in the end of the implementation of restrictions on community activities (PPKM) on the islands of Java and Bali as of November 29, which provides an opportunity for the community to return to vacation for a while.
However, the longing for a vacation to various destinations abroad seems to still have to be postponed because they have to consider the pandemic conditions in the destination country and the holiday requirements. With these limitations, people also have to be more creative in finding alternative vacations that are still possible to do, including choosing destinations that are domestically.
Various domestic holiday concepts whose concepts are similar to foreign holiday destinations have also emerged. For example, beach and sea tourism in Indonesia which now offers a vacation experience like being in the Maldives, or a road trip holiday in the open with views similar to those in New Zealand (NZ).
In Indonesia, tourist destinations similar to the Maldives are offered by Pahawang Island, Lampung and Maratua Island, Kalimantan. Meanwhile, tourist destinations similar to New Zealand can be found in the Valley of Mount Merbabu, West Java, Cikole and Ranca Upas, Bandung, or at several points in the Mount Bromo area, East Java.
When traveling during a pandemic like today, there are still some people who avoid using public transportation such as planes or buses. For this reason, recently there has also been a trend of road trips by land using your own car or campervan. In addition to its large capacity, this campervan or camper van, which is usually complete with bathroom facilities, dining room, kitchen, and also a bed, is now widely chosen because it is suitable for semi-camping holidays with large families.
For those of you who are interested in a campervan-style vacation, here are three tips that you can do and be considered before a road trip using a campervan with your family:
Decide on a destination with your extended family
If you want to go on vacation with your family, make sure everything agrees with the destination you are going to. Before determining the day, also determine the location, the itinerary for where to go and also the estimated activities at each location point. If all family members agree, don’t forget to start preparing a list of current and hidden locations in the destinations you are going to visit!
Determine the length of the trip
It is very important to know exactly how long the vacation you want to take. In addition to determining the rest schedule, by knowing the length of vacation time, we will know the estimated expenses, clothes, and sanitation that we need to prepare. If you choose to go on a road trip, immediately prepare adequate accommodation, such as if you want something practical you can use a campervan because the facilities are very complete as mentioned earlier.
Be careful and precise in choosing where to rent a campervan
One of the determining factors when choosing a campervan vacation is finding a trusted rental place. In Indonesia, Bobobox, a provider of affordable and quality capsule hotels in Indonesia, is now adding to its service innovation by presenting Bobovan to provide a comfortable road trip holiday experience like abroad, for example New Zealand.
However, currently, Bobovan can only be found in Bali. Along with its development, Bobobox will continue to be present to meet the needs of the Indonesian people. With affordable prices and plus payments using ShopeePay, the public can benefit through the cashback promos that are presented. For customers who rent Bobovan, don’t worry, the Bobobox team will explain in detail about the Bobovan that will be rented.
According to Indra Gunawan, CEO of Bobobox, said Bobovan is here because we see the enthusiasm and trends of Indonesian people who are happy for road trip holidays. Considering that usually a car cannot accommodate all the needs of a family when traveling, a campervan is the solution. With our tagline ‘Sleep Better Worry Less’, we want to present a solution to rest and sleep in a multi-purpose van for nature lovers who want a camping-style vacation like abroad.
“Of course, with complete facilities, quality services, and more affordable prices. To make payments easier and more profitable, Bobobox collaborates with ShopeePay. There is also a cashback promo for every user transaction,” he said.
In addition to Bobovan and Bobohotel, he continued, Bobobox also presents Bobocabin, a comfortable bedroom solution in various interesting tourist spots, and Boboexpress, a rest solution, especially sleeping in strategic places and facilities.
