KOTA KINABALU: The casual holiday declared for Sept 15, providing a four-day weekend for this year's Malaysia Day celebrations, will benefit local hotel operators, says Sabah MATTA chairman Lawrence Chin.
"For local tourism, this holiday could see more rooms sold as well as an increase in food and beverage (F&B) sales," he said Wednesday (July 23), commenting on Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's declaration of the eve of Malaysia Day as a holiday this year.
