Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri said the average occupancy rate in several city hotels and resorts throughout the country was encouraging especially in locations which offer natural attractions like islands, beaches, highlands or forests. “The weekly trend for accommodation also showed an increase compared to the week before. Although the increase is not drastic, it is an positive indication,” she said during the question-and-answer session at the Dewan Rakyat here today.
Nancy said the positive development is the result of initiatives by domestic tourism industry players through special travel packages with attractive promotion prices for hotels, flight tickets, and entrance tickets for tourism products and destinations.
