Destination Guide

Yogyakarta Marriott Hotel is located on Java, Indonesia's most developed and populous island. Java offers the widest range of hospitality, tourism, business, education and technology opportunities, especially in Jakarta, Bandung, Surabaya, Bali-facing travel markets and Yogyakarta. Yogyakarta is known for batik, Javanese arts, historic temples, universities and a relaxed cultural atmosphere. Living costs are generally lower than in Bali or Jakarta, although international schools and premium housing can be expensive. Indonesia's other major destinations include Bali for resort careers, Lombok for outdoor tourism, and Sumatra, Sulawesi and the Nusa Tenggara islands for nature-based hospitality. New foreign employees normally need employer sponsorship and the appropriate work and stay permits; working on a tourist visa is not permitted. Relocation usually involves document checks, medical requirements, accommodation planning and adapting to tropical weather, local customs, modest dress expectations and a diverse, mostly Muslim society.
