Halal Homestay as A Solution Lack of Hotels for Tourists in Lombok Indonesia Mandalika Circuit

Abstract

Pertamina Mandalika Internasional Street Circuit in Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara, has become the attention of motorcycle racing lovers in various parts of the world today. This is because at the Mandalika Circuit, the Idemitsu Asia Talent Cup, World Superbike, and MotoGP are held. This event will revive the Lombok economy, including in the hospitality business and will grow new businesses. The hotel is a place to stay for hundreds of thousands of tourists from outside Lombok who want to watch motorcycle races at the Mandalika Circuit. However, the current number of 14,000 hotel rooms in West Nusa Tenggara is not sufficient for the number of World Superbike viewers of 25,000 people, MotoGP viewers of 160,000 people if the COVID-19 pandemic ends, and 114,000 people if the COVID-19 pandemic is still ongoing. The number of viewers is not proportional to the number of hotel rooms available in West Nusa Tenggara. The number of hotels is far from sufficient, so that the inadequacy of hotels to accommodate these tourists requires a solution. One solution is to empower the houses of the surrounding community to become halal homestays for tourists outside Lombok. Halal homestay is a sharia-based homestay that implements management such as sharia hotel management. The concept of sharia in the implementation of a halal homestay can be implemented through product adjustments, services, and management in accordance with sharia principles.
