We need more, hotel groups plead

PETALING JAYA: Local hotels are unhappy with what they call a limited fund allocation, which they say fails to deliver aid to the struggling industry.

The Malaysian Association of Hotels (MAH) said the government’s allocation of RM250mil to promote the tourism industry is insufficient to meet the Tourism, Arts and Culture Ministry’s target of achieving more than 16 million tourist arrivals and RM49.2bil revenue for this year.
