PETALING JAYA: The move to allow 30-day visa-free travel for Chinese and Indian nationals has opened up opportunities for the hotel industry to bolster its recovery, says the Malaysian Association of Hotels (MAH).

It would be a good chance for Malaysia to carry out massive promotions to attract tourists from these high-yield countries ahead of Visit Malaysia Year 2026, MAH said.
