While many hotels are closed due to the impact of Covid-19, a hotel in Bukit Mertajam in Penang has opened its doors with the hope of reviving the stalled tourism industry.

The hotel’s director of sales Khor Bee Ai said they outlined strict standing operating procedures for all the employees to follow after it reopened on Monday.
