Luxury hotels in Malaysia lost tourists

Despite the current campaign for the "Visit Malaysia" in the country, five star hotels feel the lack of customers. In general, in the first quarter of 2007, Malaysia has increased the number of guests by 9.8% over the same period in 2006 and reached 4.8 million people. However, the tourists prefer to stay in cheaper hotels and apartments. "We were ready for the tourist season last year, we have all the necessary measures to ensure a comfortable stay of tourists in hotels." - Said the president of the association of a hotel. There was also the additional training program for hotel employees made. However, did not bring the expected results. The campaign "Visit Malaysia 2007" to win 20 million tourists have invested approximately $ 60 million. Travel.ru
