The findings of this study indicate that the economic crisis brought on by the coronavirus had an effect on the hotel in Indonesia. Overall, the key findings imply that the PrimeBiz hotel improved and adjusted its marketing mix in response to the issue. The Indonesian PrimeBiz hotel was required to alter its marketing mix as a result of the shift in consumer purchasing behavior, which was a significant factor.
