Tourism, hotel industry badly impacted by MCO


THE tourism and hotel industry is again left helpless as various states fall into another round of the movement control order. This time around it came right in the middle of the holy month of Ramadan when hotels are busy preparing for the coming Hari Raya Aidilfitri holidays and serving the once-a-year festival buffet for breaking fast.

Last year, the hotel industry lost a minimum of RM135mil in food and beverage revenues as it was MCO for the entire fasting month.
