HOTEL ๐จ& PENGINAPAN 15 Januari 2025
Strategy.. Kalau mau slippers, bisa request.. 1 banding 10 orang mau. Nah dari situ dikasi ada inisial nama mereka. Mereka sampai minta 3 dan happy sekali.
Strategy room : daripada kasi kulkas, freezer, bar di room yang mereka ga butuh, dan lebih ke size. Lebih baik infokan mana yang dekat pool ๐, mana yang dekat gym ๐๐ด๐ช soalnya dekat pool sering dikasi ke random orang yang mungkin ga appreciate๐๐❤ atau ga Butuh dekat pool ๐

CURATION
Great question—and it's totally fair to be confused because **"curation"** is one of those flexible words that can sound abstract, depending on context.
Let’s break it down clearly for both contexts:
---
### **What does "curation" mean?**
**Curation** comes from the word *curator*, like someone in a museum who **selects, organizes, and presents** items to create a meaningful experience or message.
So in general, **to curate** means:
> **"To carefully choose and arrange something to create a specific experience or impression."**
---
### **In tourism context (e.g., Yogyakarta):**
When I said **"they lack consistent curation"**, I meant:
* Tourist places in Yogyakarta **aren’t always thoughtfully designed as a whole experience**.
* They may have beautiful elements, but feel disconnected or random.
* There’s **no strong narrative, flow, or aesthetic consistency** like in Chiang Rai or Ba Na Hills.
**Example of curated tourism:**
* A village where everything—from the entrance gate, food stalls, art installations, lighting, to the music—follows a *Sunset & Batik* theme.
* Visitors feel like they’re in a **well-designed, immersive story**, not just a random set of photo spots.
---
### **In your pearls context:**
When I said "curate pearls," I meant:
> Choose only the best pieces from your collection, organize them attractively, and present them in a way that tells a story or gives a *premium feel*.
**For example:**
* Instead of dumping all types of pearls into one listing, you **curate** collections like:
* “Ocean Glow” – only luminous white pearls
* “Royal Java” – batik-inspired sets with darker hues
* “Minimalist Elegance” – dainty designs for daily wear
So it's about **selection + presentation with intention.**
---
### Final summary:
LACK CONSISTENT CURATION
Great catch. Let me clarify what I meant by:
“they lack consistent curation”
This refers to how many tourist attractions in Yogyakarta (especially the newer or Instagram-style ones like HeHa Sky View, Seribu Batu, etc.) are:
-
Visually interesting, but not always designed with a clear storytelling or thematic flow.
-
Often developed individually, not as part of a larger curated tourism experience or ecosystem.
-
Inconsistent in quality—some spots are well-maintained and managed, others feel temporary or commercialized without depth.
-
Missing narrative cohesion—for example, you might visit a place with a great view, but there's no emotional story, cultural context, or unified visitor journey.
In contrast, places like:
-
Chiang Rai’s White Temple: Every detail is part of a larger artistic story.
-
Hoi An Ancient Town: Maintains cohesive lighting, signage, design, and branding across the town.
-
Ba Na Hills: A full experience from cable car to French village to fantasy park—tied together like a theme park but still feels cultural.
Yogyakarta's Opportunity:
Yogya has the soul, craftsmanship, and landscape. What it lacks is:
-
A cohesive experience design mindset.
-
More collaboration between creative minds (artists, architects, cultural figures) and tourism developers.
-
Supportive policies that guide long-term, curated tourism districts or villages.
If someone led a project with curated architecture, local arts integration, cultural storytelling, and photogenic spaces—it could easily rival top Thai or Vietnamese destinations.
Would you like a concept idea or name for such a project in Yogyakarta?
Also my partner ( Thomas ) sees both countries they make sunset Town or Chiang Rai temple. While in Yogyakarta doesn't. Is that true?
Yes, you're absolutely right—and it's a sharp observation.
**Thailand** and **Vietnam** are masters at **"creating destinations"**—they don’t just rely on natural or historical sites, they **design experiences and aesthetics** that are social media–friendly, emotional, and unique. Here's how it compares:
---
### **What Thailand and Vietnam Do Well:**
* **“Sunset towns,” colorful villages, night markets, themed cafรฉs, white/blue temples, flower gardens, skywalks, etc.**
* *Chiang Rai White Temple (Wat Rong Khun)* was built recently, not ancient—but it became iconic due to its design and storytelling.
* *Ba Na Hills in Vietnam* created the famous **Golden Bridge with giant hands**—completely manmade, but now a global sensation.
* *Pai, Thailand*—a small town turned into a dreamy sunset town with artsy shops, cafes, and nature photospots.
They **invest in the aesthetics**, tell stories around the place, and make sure it's **"Instagrammable"**, even if it's newly built.
---
### **Yogyakarta’s Gap:**
* Yogyakarta has **strong cultural roots** (Keraton, temples, batik), but lacks **modern or artistic installations** that reinvent the experience.
* There are natural sunset spots (Parangtritis, Bukit Bintang), but they aren’t developed as **destination experiences** like “sunset towns.”
* **Most tourism is heritage-based**, not experience-based or visual-driven.
* Some local creative efforts do exist (e.g., *HeHa Sky View*, *Pinus Pengger*), but they lack consistent curation and international exposure.
---
### **Why That Matters:**
* Today’s travelers—especially younger tourists—don’t just want to **see** something, they want to **experience**, **photograph**, and **share** it.
* Yogyakarta has all the raw ingredients, but needs more **curated storytelling**, design thinking, and **“wow” installations** like Thailand and Vietnam do.
---
### **Big Opportunity:**
If someone (maybe you?) curated a **sunset village with batik, culinary experience, sunset deck, modern meets traditional art**, it could become *the next Chiang Rai*. Yogyakarta just needs a creative tourism rebrand.
Would you like some concept ideas or sample designs for a destination like that?
TOURISM IN YOGYAKARTA COMPARED
Great question—and very relevant. There are several key reasons why **Yogyakarta** or **Indonesia in general** (outside Bali) often lags behind **Thailand** and **Vietnam** in terms of tourism success:
---
### **1. Marketing & Branding**
* **Thailand and Vietnam** have done a brilliant job branding themselves internationally—*“Amazing Thailand”*, *“Vietnam: Timeless Charm”*, etc.
* Indonesia, aside from Bali, often lacks a consistent global campaign. Yogyakarta isn’t widely known abroad unless travelers are specifically looking for temples like Borobudur or Prambanan.
---
### **2. Infrastructure & Accessibility**
* **Thailand and Vietnam** have better public transportation and tourist-friendly cities.
* In Indonesia, especially outside Bali, public transport is limited, and domestic flights can be confusing or unreliable.
* Yogyakarta has potential, but the accessibility and travel convenience (airport connections, roads, transport to tourist spots) can still be improved.
---
### **3. Government Support and Policies**
* **Thailand and Vietnam** heavily support tourism through **visa policies, investment incentives**, and coordinated national strategies.
* In Indonesia, there's often **bureaucracy, fragmented local policies**, and lack of coordination between central and local government, which hurts tourism development.
---
### **4. Cleanliness, Maintenance & Safety Perception**
* Tourist areas in **Thailand/Vietnam** are generally **cleaner and better maintained**.
* Many areas in Indonesia suffer from poor waste management, and **inconsistent enforcement** of rules, which affects visitor experience.
---
### **5. Community Engagement and Hospitality Industry Training**
* Thailand especially invests a lot in **hospitality education** and creating a tourism-first mindset, even in rural areas.
* In Indonesia, especially outside Bali, tourism sometimes feels more “transactional” and less about long-term visitor satisfaction.
---
### **6. Focus on One Main Destination**
* **Bali dominates** Indonesia’s tourism image—so much that other amazing areas like Yogyakarta, Raja Ampat, or Labuan Bajo struggle to get global attention.
* Thailand successfully promotes **multiple regions**: Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket, Krabi, etc.
---
### **But... Yogyakarta has great potential:**
* Rich culture, royal heritage, UNESCO temples, batik, food, and a strong creative community.
* With better **promotion, accessibility, and support**, it could absolutely be a major cultural tourism hub—like Kyoto is to Japan.
