Most of you would think of 2020 as a tough year because you have to deal with unpleasant situations. You might have to cancel your trip overseas this year due to the pandemic. Staying indoor for more than 10 months seemed so boring.
But, we have to face the new year with positive minds. Keep our spirits up and remain optimistic. As long as we pay attention to our health and follow health protocols we’re good to go!
Thanks for Trusting tiket.com in 2020!
Throughout 2020, we are trying our best to give encouragement to all of you, t-mates. We’re all in this together, fighting the unseen enemy. Let’s look back to what we’ve done so far in 2020.
Welcoming 2020
At the beginning of 2020, tiket.com is welcoming the new year with enthusiasm. We started the year with lots of hope that we can travel around the world. At that time, all of us can plan for holiday trips easier and faster, especially with the help of online booking at tiket.com.
Some of you may have traveled to visit popular destinations in Japan such as Tokyo, Osaka, or Hokkaido. Some may have spent their holidays in Europe of the United States. Not only international destinations, but many people are also traveling around Indonesia as well, by using land, air, or sea transportation. It was a good time of the year!
The Pandemic Hit the World
Then the pandemic crashed the world, including Indonesia, starting from March 2020. Since then, the COVID-19 pandemic has become a global pandemic. It changes all aspects of our lives, from how we do our daily routine, to our ways of travel.
Almost all countries in the world blocked access for tourists to travel to their countries. Travellers were confused. They were forced to reschedule their travel plans and cancelled their dream vacation.
Not only international flights, but domestic flights were also very limited at that time. The government called on citizens to stay at home and did all activities from home.
The Struggle to Survive
Everyone was feeling a similar thing during the pandemic. We were afraid because everything was uncertain. tiket.com also felt the same. tiket.com wanted to spread positivity to t-mates during that time. That’s why, we came up with #WishesfromHeart campaign.
With all this positivity, our aim was to support people around us so we can face the pandemic together. We didn’t want you to feel discouraged and sad because of the condition.
In addition, tiket.com invited all of you to participate in helping each other through tiket.com sharing wellness program. Through this campaign, everyone can participate to channel their funds for those in need.
Funds collected through the tiket.com sharing wellness campaign was then distributed in the form of personal protective equipment for medical personnel as well as in the form of basic commodities for tourism workers. We were able to do all of that because of your support, t-mates!
At the time of pandemic, tiket.com wanted to be a one-stop app for you to find complete information about regulations in various countries regarding border restrictions, country status, flight policies, and so on.
You can get all of this information on tiketsafe.com page which is always updated. So for those of you who want to travel anytime soon, don’t forget to check the info first at tiketsafe.com.
New Features During the New Normal
When we entered the adapting to the new habits era, tiket.com also adapted to the situation by launching many new features to make customers more comfortable when traveling.
One of the features that you can find on tiket.com is tiket CLEAN. tiket.com is collaborating with many partners to provide extra cleanliness in hotels, events, attractions.
All of the partners with tiket CLEAN symbol have implemented health protocol standards. For instance, all facilities have implemented health protocols such as checking body temperature, cleaning and disinfection, regulations on the use of personal protective equipment and physical restrictions, and so on.
Additionally, tiket.com also announced tiket FLEXI feature that allows customers to book flights, hotels, and attractions with maximum flexibility. In other words, if you are still unsure about when to travel, you can buy the tickets first without having to select the date immediately.
Support the Revival of Domestic Tourism
Did you remember the time when some of us couldn’t go back to our hometown during the Lebaran holiday? We couldn’t gather with our family at that time.
We must do different things to cure our longing for a holiday at that time. That’s why, tiket.com came up with #TiketHadapiRindu campaign. We provided you travel inspiration from home and you were able to watch our lively Instagram Live from home.
Well, speaking of supporting the revival of Indonesia’s tourism, tiket.com also offered OTW LOKAL promo. Through this promo, tiket.com wanted to see you smile again, and especially help boost Indonesia’s tourism sector.
