Online accommodation provider Malaysia-HotelResorts.com has fined-tuned its already easy-to-use website by adding instant reservation functionality, the company has announced.
The technical innovation provides the ultimate in ease for those seeking accommodation at a wide range of hotels and resorts in Malaysia, saving travelers valuable time, says proprietor Sudesh Joshi.
http://www.malaysia-hotelresorts.com offers the greatest selection of hotels in Malaysia, including budget accommodation, business hotels, 5 star luxury hotels, 4 star hotels, 3 star hotels and beach resorts. All hotel bookings are based on instant verification and confirmation.
The company's announcement comes as Malaysia marked a robust year in visitor arrivals in 2007, and amid government pledges to further boost its thriving tourism sector.
The "Visit Malaysia Year 2007" campaign was extremely successful with the Tourism Ministry estimating it helped bring in 20.7 million visitors and total tourist receipts of US$14.5 billion.
The target is to attract 21.5 million tourists this year, especially well-heeled and long-haul visitors from Arab and East Asian countries. This ambitious plan is expected to rake in US$15.3 billion in tourism revenue in 2008, the government says.
Deputy Tourism Minister Donald Lim Siang Chai said "quality tourists" would bring in more revenue as they usually spend twice as much as the average visitor.
He said tourists usually stayed 6.7 nights and spent US$700 per visit, but quality tourists stayed an average of eight nights and spent between US$1,200 and US$1,500.
"If they have the money to travel to faraway destinations, then they can certainly afford to spend. That's the rule of the game and we want them here," Chai said.
