KOTA KINABALU: Hotel operators are calling for an immediate dialogue session with Kota Kinabalu City Hall over the recent hike in hotel licensing fees, warning that many budget hotels could be forced to shut down soon due to rising costs.
MyBHA said the additional licensing fee places an excessive burden on hoteliers, who are already contributing to tourism tax, business operation fees, and regulatory costs. Unlike other businesses that benefit from tourism—such as restaurants, retail shops, transport services, and tour operators—hotels are being singled out with yet another financial obligation.
The association warned that if hotel prices rise due to higher fees, tourists may opt for cheaper, unregulated STRA options, further hurting licensed hotels that comply with regulations. Instead of unpredictable licensing fees, MyBHA proposed a statewide tourism tax, which would be transparent, predictable, and fairly distributed.
