Abstract

Effective communication is crucial in the hospitality industry, yet there remain gaps in understanding how digital tools influence service quality and guest satisfaction. This study investigates the impact of WhatsApp Business on communication practices and service delivery at Four Points by Sheraton Batam. With the rapid evolution of technology, the hospitality sector must adapt to meet contemporary guest expectations. Utilizing a qualitative research approach, data were gathered through in-depth interviews and observations of staff and guest interactions over a three-month period. Findings reveal that WhatsApp Business significantly enhances responsiveness, streamlining communication between staff and guests. Staff reported that the application facilitated quicker resolutions of guest requests and complaints, ultimately contributing to a more positive overall experience. Moreover, the study found that effective use of WhatsApp Business improved accessibility, making it easier for guests to voice their needs. While these results are promising, the research also highlights that factors such as staff training, management commitment to customer service, and existing operational protocols play critical roles in determining overall service quality. This study underscores the relevance of integrating digital communication tools within the hospitality sector and provides insights applicable to other service-oriented fields, including school counseling. In conclusion, the adoption of digital tools like WhatsApp Business can substantially elevate guest experiences, aligning with contemporary expectations in the digital age. However, limitations such as a small sample size and the focus on a single hotel indicate the need for further research to explore the long-term effects of digital communication tools in enhancing service quality within the hospitality industry.

Abstract

Abstract Tourism in Indonesia is an important economic sector. In this modern era, rapid technological developments have had a major impact on various sectors, including the tourism industry. Apart from being an economic engine, tourism is considered capable of reducing unemployment. In the national economy, tourism is a sector that is expected to increase the country's foreign exchange earnings. Indonesia is listed as the country with the second largest Muslim population in the world after Pakistan, which is expected to become a skilled driver of halal tourism in developing destinations. After the Covid-19 pandemic, tourism in Indonesia declined. Based on a Statista report, the world tourism sector lost 100.8 million jobs in 2020. Asia Pacific was the tourist area most affected by the pandemic, which lost 63.4 million jobs. One effort to restore tourism in Indonesia is by implementing metaverse tourism innovation as an effort to restore the tourism sector post-pandemic, especially to suppress the phenomenon of overtourism. Metaverse technology can help all aspects of life in the economic, educational and business sectors. It is hoped that the use of Metaverse technology can become a strategy to make Indonesia a center for Islamic tourism in the world. This research is qualitative research with a descriptive approach. Researchers use research data in the form of secondary data obtained from a number of credible sources such as scientific articles, books and a number of other sources that are credible and commonly used in research. These data were analyzed using analytical tools with stages of data collection, data selection, data reduction and drawing conclusions. Keywords: Halal Metaverse Tourism, Indonesia, Tourism

Abstract

This community service activity aims to improve the understanding, skills, and attitudes of teachers, administrative staff, and students regarding excellent service implementation. This training employed the participatory action research (PAR) method, which actively involves all stakeholders in planning, executing, and evaluating the activity. The results indicate significant improvements in participants' understanding of the essential concepts of excellent service, including reliability (accuracy), responsiveness (quick response), empathy (emotional learning), assurance (trustworthiness), and tangibles (physical evidence). Participants experienced a shift in perspective, recognizing that excellent service is not merely administrative routines but a professional responsibility for building trust and satisfaction among service recipients. The training also highlighted a paradigm shift from traditional approaches to more participatory and solution-oriented practices, fostering a collaborative culture of continuous service improvement. Through simulations, case studies, and group discussions, participants were equipped with practical skills to apply excellent service concepts effectively. The impact of this training is reflected in improved service quality at MA Industri Al-Jabar, which contributes to enhancing the institution's credibility and satisfaction among students, parents, and the broader community. The findings emphasize the need for sustainable and ongoing training to ensure that excellent service becomes a core cultural practice within educational institutions.
