Abstract

This study aims to examine the conditions and changes in the work environment at the Food and Beverage (F&B) Department of Fairfield by Marriott Bali Legian Hotel during and after the Covid-19 pandemic, with particular attention to shifts in Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). The recovery of the tourism sector has become increasingly visible following the significant decline in Covid-19 cases, rising vaccination coverage, relaxed travel policies, and the emergence of “revenge tourism,” which collectively boosted tourist mobility. Using a qualitative descriptive research method, data were collected through observations, interviews, and documentation, and then analysed using data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that substantial changes occurred across multiple dimensions of the work environment, including the physical environment (such as physical distancing arrangements, table spacing, and sanitation facilities), the social environment (team interactions, division of tasks, and communication flow), and the organisational environment (adjustments to SOPs, workflow modifications, and workload management). These dimensions experienced the most significant transformation during the pandemic as the department adapted to health protocols and operational constraints. Following the pandemic, however, the F&B Service Department has largely returned to its pre-pandemic norms, although some organisational adaptations particularly those related to hygiene standards continue to be maintained as part of improved operational practices

Abstract

Pelatihan ini bertujuan meningkatkan kemampuan bahasa Inggris dasar para pengelola UMKM kuliner dan homestay di Desa Wisata Budo, Provinsi Sulawesi Utara, sebagai respons terhadap meningkatnya kunjungan wisatawan mancanegara dan keterbatasan kemampuan komunikasi para pelaku usaha lokal. Desa Budo, yang telah meraih prestasi dalam Anugerah Desa Wisata Indonesia, menghadapi tantangan signifikan karena sebagian besar operator UMKM masih bergantung pada pemandu wisata eksternal untuk berinteraksi dengan tamu asing. Untuk menjawab kebutuhan tersebut, pelatihan dilaksanakan menggunakan pendekatan Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) yang menekankan praktik komunikasi nyata melalui role play, simulasi layanan, pengenalan kosakata berbasis objek wisata, serta pendampingan lanjutan melalui grup WhatsApp sebagai media monitoring dan konsultasi. Kegiatan diikuti oleh 20 peserta yang merupakan perwakilan UMKM kuliner dan homestay, dengan fokus pada materi sapaan, perkenalan, penjelasan objek wisata, serta percakapan layanan dasar. Hasil pelatihan menunjukkan antusiasme tinggi dan peningkatan kemampuan peserta dalam memahami serta mempraktikkan komunikasi dasar dalam konteks pariwisata, diperkuat oleh komitmen untuk melanjutkan latihan melalui pendampingan daring. Secara keseluruhan, pelatihan ini membuktikan efektivitas pendekatan komunikatif dalam meningkatkan kompetensi bahasa Inggris pelaku UMKM sebagai bagian dari upaya memperkuat daya saing Desa Wisata Budo.
