Expanding lodging options for tourists

Loh says the tourism market is big in Ipoh and the different kinds of accommodation cater to different budgets.

Short-term stay operators appear to fill a gap in the market, meeting a demand for affordable accommodation in certain areas.

Perak Tourism Association chairman Datuk Mohd Odzman Abdul Kadir said short-term lodgings such as homestays offer an alternative for travellers, especially with the ongoing Visit Perak Year 2024 campaign.
