Developing tourism holistically

I REFER to “Melaka hotels feeling the pinch” (The Star, June 8; online at bit.ly/star_melaka).

Melaka Smart City Advisory Council chairman Khoo Poay Tiong lamented that the number of occupied hotel room nights in the city dropped from 4.79 million in 2017 to 3.13 million last year despite the increase of visitors to the state.
