Abstract :

After the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, there was a rise in tourist visitors from different parts of Indonesia to Bandung, resulting in a direct boost in the occupancy rate of star hotels in the city. Because of this growth, numerous hotels developed, with the majority being 3-star establishments. The Oasis Siliwangi Sport Hotel is a three-star establishment in Bandung, offering a range of facilities and an ideal location. Oasis Siliwangi Sport Hotel in Bandung is now struggling with a lack of brand awareness, resulting in potential customers being unaware of the hotel’s existence and room occupancy rates. Consequently, this has led to a decline in the intention to make reservations. The objective of this study is to determine the variables that influence the level of brand awareness for Oasis Siliwangi Sport Hotel and develop effective marketing strategies to enhance the likelihood of customers choosing to stay at Oasis Siliwangi Sport Hotel. Data collection comes from primary data and secondary data. The primary data collection strategy is quantitative, utilizing a questionnaire for consumer analysis and hypothesis testing. Secondary data will be acquired from national and international scientific journals, previous research, book literature, government reports, and other reliable source of internet sites. The survey was disseminated to 217 potential target market participants with prior experience lodging at the hotel. The gathered data is analyzed using SMART PLS. The research findings indicate that Advertising and Social Media Marketing positively influence Brand Awareness. Furthermore, brand awareness, price, and facilities influence customer’s purchase intention. Based on these findings, several recommendations and strategies are made. These include create exciting bundling package and loyalty program, optimize promotion activities, utilize advertising to reach consumers, and strengthen hotel facility.
