PETALING JAYA: The increase in Malaysians holidaying locally is a positive sign with hotels in popular destinations recording a higher occupancy rate.But hotel associations said the situation would not likely return to pre-Covid-19 anytime soon due to the loan moratorium ending this month and restrictions on foreign travellers.

Malaysian Association of Hotel Owners executive director Shaharuddin M Saaid said the recent holiday season only saw an increase in holidaymakers in certain places such as Langkawi and Melaka.
