The Malaysian Association of Hotels has expressed concerns about the recently tabled Budget 2025’s impact on Malaysia’s tourism and hospitality sector, including the increase of the minimum wage from RM1,500 to RM1,700 which it deemed would add additional strain on hoteliers’ financial resources.
However, MAH said that it’s concerned about the overall budget allocations, saying that while the approximately 29% year-on-year increase is commendable, it falls short of the substantial investments needed to address the current challenges faced by the tourism and hospitality industry. Furthermore, MAH also calls for transparency in the collection and utilisation of the Tourism Tax, saying that since its implementation in 2017, hotels have been tasked with collecting this tax from foreign guests and remitting it to the Royal Malaysian Customs Department .For illustration purposes
The association believes that the new RM1,700 minimum wage adds additional strain on hoteliers’ financial resources.
