The ASTON Bellevue Radio Dalam hotel uses social media Facebook and Instagram as a marketing tool to introduce the ASTON Bellevue Radio Dalam brand to the public. At the beginning of the establishment of the ASTON Bellevue Radio Dalam hotel, the use of social media was still not actively used. In addition, at the beginning of its establishment, the ASTON Bellevue Radio Dalam hotel was also affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, resulting in a significant decrease in occupancy rates. Hotel ASTON Bellevue Radio Dalam is pursuing various strategies including increasing the amount of social media marketing activity to market and promote Hotel ASTON Bellevue Radio Dalam. The use of social media marketing also allows consumers to have an image and perception of the good quality of the ASTON Bellevue Radio Dalam hotel.
