Conversation: ULP (Unit Layanan Pariwisata) with Asking and Giving Suggestions

Cristian:
Good morning, Alin. Malikha. We need to discuss some tourist services for the upcoming holiday season.
(Selamat pagi, Alin. Malikha. Kita perlu mendiskusikan beberapa layanan wisata untuk musim liburan yang akan datang.)

Alin:
Good morning, Cristian. Sure, what do you have in mind?
(Selamat pagi, Cristian. Tentu, apa yang kamu pikirkan?)

Malikha:
Good morning, Cristian, Alin. What’s the issue?
(Selamat pagi, Cristian, Alin. Ada masalah apa?)

Cristian:
I’ve been receiving a lot of complaints from tourists about the lack of local restaurant recommendations. I’m not sure what to suggest. Any ideas?
(Saya menerima banyak keluhan dari wisatawan tentang kurangnya rekomendasi restoran lokal. Saya tidak yakin harus memberi saran apa. Ada ide?)

Alin:
Well, maybe we could create a list of the best restaurants in the area and provide it to visitors when they check-in. What do you think, Malikha?
(Mungkin kita bisa membuat daftar restoran terbaik di area ini dan memberikannya kepada pengunjung saat check-in. Bagaimana menurutmu, Malikha?)

Malikha:
I agree with that. We can also create a small brochure with recommendations, including reviews and local specialties. This way, tourists will feel more informed.
(Saya setuju dengan itu. Kita juga bisa membuat brosur kecil dengan rekomendasi, termasuk ulasan dan makanan khas lokal. Dengan cara ini, wisatawan akan merasa lebih informasi.)

Cristian:
That sounds like a good plan. I’ll work on gathering the information. What about the transportation issues? Some tourists mentioned the difficulty of getting around.
(Itu terdengar seperti rencana yang baik. Saya akan mulai mengumpulkan informasinya. Bagaimana dengan masalah transportasi? Beberapa wisatawan menyebutkan kesulitan dalam berkeliling.)

Alin:
I suggest that we partner with local transportation providers to offer discounted rates for tourists. How about setting up a shuttle service to popular destinations?
(Saya sarankan kita bekerja sama dengan penyedia transportasi lokal untuk menawarkan tarif diskon untuk wisatawan. Bagaimana kalau kita menyiapkan layanan antar-jemput ke destinasi populer?)

Malikha:
That’s a great idea! We could also offer maps or apps that help tourists navigate the area better. What do you think about adding a guide service for tours?
(Itu ide yang bagus! Kita juga bisa menawarkan peta atau aplikasi yang membantu wisatawan bernavigasi dengan lebih baik. Bagaimana kalau kita menambahkan layanan pemandu untuk tur?)

Cristian:
I think a guide service would be perfect. What if we trained some of the locals to be tour guides? This would give them an opportunity to earn, and tourists would appreciate local insight.
(Saya rasa layanan pemandu tur akan sangat cocok. Bagaimana kalau kita melatih beberapa orang lokal untuk menjadi pemandu tur? Ini akan memberi mereka kesempatan untuk menghasilkan uang, dan wisatawan akan menghargai wawasan lokal.)

Alin:
That’s an excellent idea! How about offering tourists a choice of private or group tours? This way, they can choose according to their preferences.
(Itu ide yang sangat baik! Bagaimana kalau kita menawarkan wisatawan pilihan tur pribadi atau grup? Dengan cara ini, mereka bisa memilih sesuai preferensi mereka.)

(Juga, untuk liburan yang akan datang, bagaimana jika kita menawarkan paket spesial yang menggabungkan akomodasi, makan, dan tur? Ini bisa menarik lebih banyak pelanggan.)

Cristian:
I like that idea. A bundled package could save tourists time and money. I’ll prepare a proposal. But what about improving the cleanliness in our accommodation? Some guests mentioned it was an issue.
(Saya suka ide itu. Paket bundel bisa menghemat waktu dan uang wisatawan. Saya akan menyiapkan proposal. Tapi bagaimana dengan meningkatkan kebersihan di akomodasi kita? Beberapa tamu menyebutkan itu menjadi masalah.)

Alin:
I suggest that we organize daily cleaning checks to make sure the rooms are spotless. What about setting up a feedback system so tourists can report any issues immediately?
(Saya sarankan kita mengatur pemeriksaan kebersihan harian untuk memastikan kamar selalu bersih. Bagaimana kalau kita menyiapkan sistem umpan balik agar wisatawan bisa melaporkan masalah dengan segera?)

That’s a good point. We could place a suggestion box in the rooms or send them a quick online survey after check-out. It’ll help us improve and respond to concerns faster.
(Itu poin yang bagus. Kita bisa menempatkan kotak saran di kamar atau mengirimkan survei online singkat setelah check-out. Ini akan membantu kita untuk meningkatkan dan merespon masalah lebih cepat.)

What about the food? Some tourists complained that there weren’t enough local food options. Do you have any ideas?
(Bagaimana dengan makanan? Beberapa wisatawan mengeluh bahwa pilihan makanan lokal kurang. Ada ide?)

How about we collaborate with local restaurants to offer more authentic dishes? We could feature different food every day of the week. It would be fun for tourists to try new things!
(Bagaimana kalau kita bekerja sama dengan restoran lokal untuk menawarkan hidangan yang lebih otentik? Kita bisa menampilkan makanan berbeda setiap hari dalam seminggu. Ini akan menyenankan bagi wisatawan untuk mencoba hal-hal baru!)

Malikha:
I agree. We could also host special themed dinners or food festivals to highlight the local cuisine. What do you think about setting up a cooking class for tourists?
(Saya setuju. Kita juga bisa mengadakan makan malam bertema khusus atau festival makanan untuk menonjolkan masakan lokal. Bagaimana menurutmu tentang mengadakan kelas memasak untuk wisatawan?)

(Kita bisa meningkatkan kehadiran online layanan pariwisata kita. Bagaimana kalau kita memperbarui situs web dan media sosial kita dengan informasi waktu nyata tentang acara, cuaca, dan layanan yang tersedia?)

(Itu terdengar bagus. Saya akan membantu dengan pembaruannya. Kita juga bisa menawarkan promosi melalui saluran media sosial untuk mendorong lebih banyak orang memesan lebih awal.)
