MELAKA: A number of tourists, mostly from Europe, are stranded in the historic city here – and with their funds running out, they may not have any place to stay, says Global Goodwill Ambassador (GGA) representative, Ganesh Somwanshi.

He said based on feedback, there are tourists who have been staying at hotels since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic and are now cash-strapped, unable to pay for their rooms and meals.
