Abstract

Batam is a very strategic location because it is close to Singapore, so it is the center of the government's attention to devote its thoughts to its economic principles and of course to develop, revive tourism in this strategic sense, where we know tourism has declined drastically since the Corona Virus 2019. This study uses a descriptive type of research, which seeks to describe and analyze the development of Special Economic Zones in Batam after the implementation of the Free Trade Zone. The data analysis technique that has been used is qualitative data analysis techniques. The Special Economic Zone (SEZ) in Batam is an investment hope in Indonesia. Pioneering Special Economic Zones have been the reinstatement of free trade and free ports. Facilities and convenience are factors that will attract investors and investors are expected to come to Indonesia, especially Batam, with all applicable permits and related investment activities. Facilities or incentives provided by laws and regulations to investors, such as privileges such as tax holiday treatment for a certain period of time, suspension or exemption from import duties, including taxes, to regions and the public must also be given special attention. The implementation of the SEZ after the implementation of the Free Trade Area on Batam Island has not been carried out properly because the legal certainty of the SEZ has not been ratified into law by the DPR RI, this is what makes investors doubt that the level of legal certainty in Indonesia is very low because of the ease of regulation. issued can change automatically. We hope that in the future we must have strong principles for the sake of our country's economy.

Abstract

Pengelolaan troli yang optimal merupakan faktor penting dalam mendukung efisiensi operasional room attendant di industri perhotelan. Penelitian ini dilakukan di Pacific Palace Hotel Batam untuk mengidentifikasi kendala dalam pengelolaan troli yang memengaruhi produktivitas staf housekeeping, terutama pada tingkat hunian tinggi. Menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif, penelitian ini melibatkan wawancara dengan tiga informan kunci (Executive Housekeeping, Supervisor Housekeeping, dan Staff Housekeeping), observasi langsung, dan dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa keterbatasan jumlah troli, kondisi fisik troli yang rusak, penataan barang yang tidak terorganisir, lokasi penyimpanan troli yang tidak strategis, serta kurangnya edukasi staf merupakan kendala utama yang menurunkan efisiensi operasional. Penundaan waktu kerja akibat permasalahan ini tercatat mencapai 30–40 menit per shift. Pembahasan mengungkapkan bahwa perbaikan dalam manajemen troli dapat meningkatkan efisiensi kerja hingga 20%, sesuai dengan penelitian sebelumnya. Rekomendasi yang diusulkan meliputi penambahan jumlah troli, perbaikan kondisi fisik troli melalui pemeliharaan rutin, penerapan standar penataan barang, penempatan strategis lokasi penyimpanan troli, dan pelatihan staf secara berkala. Implementasi rekomendasi ini diharapkan dapat mengurangi waktu kerja yang terbuang, meningkatkan produktivitas room attendant, serta mendukung kualitas pelayanan kepada tamu. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa pengelolaan troli yang baik tidak hanya meningkatkan efisiensi operasional tetapi juga berkontribusi terhadap kepuasan tamu dan reputasi hotel. Hasil penelitian ini memberikan kontribusi praktis bagi manajemen hotel dalam merumuskan strategi peningkatan operasional housekeeping.

Dengan pendekatan kuantitatif deskriptif dan eksplanatori, penelitian ini melibatkan 100 pelaku usaha kreatif di sektor pariwisata Kota Batam sebagai responden. Data primer dikumpulkan melalui survei menggunakan kuesioner dengan skala Likert dan wawancara semi-terstruktur untuk memperkaya analisis. Data sekunder diperoleh dari laporan resmi dan publikasi terkait. Teknik analisis yang digunakan meliputi analisis statistik deskriptif untuk menggambarkan distribusi data dan regresi linier untuk menguji hubungan antara variabel ekonomi kreatif, kreativitas, inovasi, dan kewirausahaan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa 85% responden menyatakan ekonomi kreatif secara signifikan mendorong kewirausahaan melalui inovasi dan diversifikasi produk wisata. Sebanyak 65% pelaku usaha memanfaatkan media sosial untuk promosi, sementara 70% menyatakan kolaborasi dengan industri pariwisata meningkatkan eksposur produk kreatif.
