: The Government needs to acknowledge that there has been an immediate drop in hotel occupancy with the spike in Covid-19 cases at the end of September 2020, and that the tourism industry is in need of more assistance, the Malaysian Association of Hotels said.

“So far, from the announced initiatives under Budget 2021, little was mentioned on sustaining tourism businesses other than the extension of wage subsidy at the same amount of RM600 per employee per month, which the industry had long voiced as insufficient, when the industry had lost almost 80 per cent of business.

‘’This model is adopted in many countries to support the industry and to protect jobs of the people,” he said in a statement, on Friday.
