KUALA LUMPUR (Feb 12): The Malaysian Association of Hotel Owners (MAHO) is seeking the government to allow hotels to take guests for room accommodation and for meetings.
Its president, Tan Sri Teo Chiang Hong, in a statement today, also hoped the government would lift the ban on inter-state and inter-district travel to revive domestic tourism.
He said since the country’s border is still closed to foreign tourists, hotels in the country depend wholly on domestic tourists to generate revenue. Otherwise, many hotels are no longer able to sustain their business or survive any longer. We expect to see a number of hotels closing down.
