THE Kuala Lumpur Mayor’s Tourism Awards (KLMTA) 2014 recently honoured octogenarian and veteran hotelier as well as developer Tan Sri Low Yow Chuan, 81 with the Mayor’s Commendable Award for Outstanding Contribution.
The KLMTA, initiated in 2011, is held every three years to recognise the “best of the best” of service providers in 15 different categories with the aim of raising standards in the tourism industry. In the citation by Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL), Low was acknowledged as a driving force behind the city’s tourism industry since the early 1960s.
