Malaysia's Tourism Ministry Pushes for Longer Hotel Stays to Boost Value and Competitiveness

The Malaysian Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture (MOTAC) is encouraging hotels to offer a minimum 23-hour stay to enhance value for money and the tourist experience, aiming to make Malaysia's hospitality sector more competitive. This initiative is part of the Visit Malaysia 2026 campaign. MOTAC is also discussing with the Ministry of Local Government and Housing and state governments to potentially include standardized operating time elements in local authority licensing requirements.
