“We carried out the first phase of the upgrading exercise last year with the installation of broadband facilities in all the hotels.
“The upgrading exercise is aimed at enhancing the corporate image of the hotels,” he told a press briefing.
Cheng said the Visit Malaysia Year 2007 campaign helped improve the hotels’ occupancy rate last year by 10% to 15% over the achievement in 2006.
“In 2007, the hotels in Kuala Lumpur, Terengganu and Kuantan averaged over 80% occupancy rate daily.
“Meanwhile, the other six hotels achieved between 60% and 70% occupancy rate daily,” he said.
Cheng said the group emphasised on its services to compete with other hotels of similar range.
“We provide five-star warm and friendly services,” he added.
