Good Morning!!!! Malaysia's hotel sector is experiencing continuous investment for new hotel developments, driven by a positive tourism outlook. The team is equally busy with buyers and sellers. Electrical and mechanical engineering group LFE Corp Bhd secured two contracts worth RM16.7 million for a 22-storey hotel in Georgetown, Penang, expected to be completed by November 2025. Seri Pajam Development Sdn Bhd launched SPD Tech Valley in Senawang, Negeri Sembilan, a RM3 billion industrial park that will notably feature a business and leisure support center with a boutique hotel. Additionally, Kuching will see three new international hotels, including one by Ascott, approved by the State Planning Authority, as part of efforts to expand accommodation options and meet future tourism demand, supported by increased direct flights and enhanced regional connectivity plans. Meanwhile, Putrajaya experiences surging demand for hotel rooms amidst changing travel preferences, notably with young, affluent travelers seeking immersive cultural experiences and 'bleisure' trips. In response, hotels like newly opened Moxy Putrajaya are enhancing offerings with advanced business facilities, wellness centers, dining choices, and leisure activities tailored to these evolving preferences. In recent developments within the travel and tourism sectors, Malaysia experienced a remarkable 19.5% surge in air passenger traffic in April 2024, primarily driven by domestic travel during Hari Raya Aidilfitri, signaling positive signs of recovery. Concurrently, AirAsia's designation as the official airline partner for the Malaysia-China Summit 2024 underscores initiatives aimed at strengthening trade and cultural ties, accompanied by exclusive travel offers for summit participants. Moreover, Tourism Malaysia is collaborating with Trove Tourism Development Advisors to bolster awareness and tourism from North America, aligning with its strategic vision for Visit Malaysia Year 2026.
