What to be done when facing low occupation rates

Most hotels in Bali are facing low occupation rates after the Kuta bomb. Should they sack their employees when facing this situation? What is the best thing to do? Firing employees should be the last choice. Before this is done, the hotel may ask them to work fewer hours or they may be asked to take annual leave or a long leave. These may cut the operational costs of the hotel. Saving hotel operation costs can also be made by reducing the consumption of electricity and water and so on.
When hotels face low occupation rates, it is the best time to renovate. In addition, training could be conducted.
