HOSPICOM, or Hospitality Competition, emerges as a prestigious hospitality skills competition organized through a collaboration between BPC IHKA Bogor and Sekolah Tinggi Pariwisata Bogor. This event specifically competes the Making Bed and Towel Art and Mirror Art categories, making it a strategic platform for students and hotel professionals to showcase their abilities, creativity, precision, and professionalism according to world-class standards. The birth of this competition cannot be separated from the roots of housekeeping training traditions in the global hotel industry, which consistently emphasize work standardization for the highest guest comfort. Over time, the art of folding towels or towel art, initially popularized by the international cruise and hotel industries, along with the mirror art trend as a new aesthetic touch to room mirrors, has evolved into a highly competitive form of art and skill. In Indonesia, these professional standards have long been maintained by the Indonesian Housekeeping Association, which in 2026 marks its 48th anniversary. Responding to this historical milestone while also celebrating the 27th journey of STP Bogor, HOSPICOM 2026 was born with a grand vision to elevate and spread bed making standards from Bogor to the national level.
Realizing this vision, HOSPICOM 2026 will be held on Tuesday, 15 September 2026, at Bogor Great Mall on Jalan KH. R. Abdullah Bin Nuh in Bogor City. This individual competition opens registration for two groups of participants, namely practitioners from the hotel industry and students from the university or vocational high school level, with a provision of a maximum of three participant representatives from each institution or school. As a commitment to maintaining the quality and seriousness of the event, the committee sets a structured registration fee. The fee is 350,000 Indonesian Rupiah for hotel professionals and 250,000 Indonesian Rupiah for students in the Making Bed and Towel Art category, along with 200,000 Indonesian Rupiah for hotel professionals and 150,000 Indonesian Rupiah for students in the Mirror Art category. The entire registration process can be accessed online through the official form link provided, while the latest information and event updates can be monitored directly through the official social media channels @ihka_bogor, @stpbogor_bhi, and @hospicom.bgr, or by contacting the liaison officers Eko Rahmanto and Renata Anggraeni.
