THE hotel industry is one of the worst-hit industries during this crisis. A lot of studies have been conducted to help us understand the impact on the economy and our organisation’s bottom line.
Industry experts, through their various associations, have predicted that the average hotel occupancy in Malaysia for the year will stand at around 25% or less. This is such a shame, knowing that 2020 is supposed to be Visit Malaysia Year and Tourism Malaysia would have spent millions of ringgits through its promotional channels to bring holiday seekers to Malaysia.
