ABSTRACT

Faisal Agata Ardiarta. 2013. Communication Channels in FavehotelAdisucipto
and Favehotel Solo Baru. English Diploma Program, Faculty of Letters and Fine
Arts, SebelasMaret University.
This final project is written based on job training done at Favehotel Adisucipto and
Favehotel Solo Baru for three months in Marketing and Sales Department. I did some
jobs along with the Public Relations Officer of Favehotel Adisucipto and Favehotel
Solo Baru by helping her making press release, attending events, meeting journalists,
writing response in internet, etc.
The aims of present study are to evaluate communication channels, especially internet
communication in Favehotel Adisucipto and Favehotel Solo Baru and to propose
improvement in the existing communication channel (internet) in these hotels.
Internet as one of communication channels is effective because the purpose of using
official website, Agoda, Tripadvisor and email has been achieved.
Thus, I propose improvement to make the use of internet more effective. The

proposals are using communicative languages to respond to the comments and
reviews from guests via email or websites, being active in responding all of the
reviews form guests via email and websites from the guests, providing computer to
access Tripadvisor or Agoda, updating the information in the official hotel website
and Tripadvisor or Agoda to spread information and news about both hotels, and
designing attractive website layout.
Hopefully, this final project report can be a reference for the Public Relations Officer
of Favehotel Adisucipto and Favehotel Solo Baru to make the existing
communication channels more effective.
