KUALA LUMPUR: The newly passed Tourism Tax Bill 2017 has to be value accretive to enable the tourism and hospitality industries to thrive, said KLCCP Stapled Group CEO Datuk Hashim Wahir.

Speaking after the group’s AGM yesterday, Hashim said the tourism tax would put pressure on customer traffic, as it meant that tourists would now have to spend more, and it remained to be seen how the tax would affect tourism activities.
