Ch’ng said many tourists chose Penang because of its food, pleasant weather and people, apart from its sandy beaches and lush greenery.
Expressing surprise at the findings, Association of Tourist Attractions Penang chairman Ch’ng Huck Theng questioned the methodology used in the survey.
In its data for 2022, DOSM listed Selangor as No. 1 with 22 million visitors, followed by the Federal Territories of Kuala Lumpur , Sarawak , Perak and Pahang . “These are the strengths we have built over the years through the government, people, associations and institutions. “The definition of a domestic visitor is too wide. It can be visiting friends, staying in hospitals, attending meetings or returning to one’s hometown. This may not truly reflect the visitors’ activities,” he pointed out.
Malaysian Association of Hotels Penang chapter chairman Tony Goh said after borders reopened in April last year, hotels in Penang had been generally happy with their performance.
