NUSAJAYA: Johor will have 13,360 three-star hotel rooms next year to meet the needs of the state's growing tourism industry, said State Tourism, Trade and Consumerism Committee chairman, Datuk Tee Siew Kiong.

"Currently, the state has only 12,500 hotel rooms of three stars and above. The increase in the number of rooms is in line with the construction of many hotels this year and next," he said.

Tee said this in reply to questions by Hamimah Mansor (BN-Penawar) and Dr Zaini Abu Bakar (BN-Nusajaya) at the state Legislative Assembly today.

He said based on Tourism Malaysia survey, the number of tourists who stayed overnight in Johor last year was over five million from 3.95 million in 2012.

Tee said the state government adopted comprehensive measures to encourage the tourists to stay longer in the state.

"The state's Tourism Department, together with the private sector, planned various international-level programmes to encourage them to stay longer in the state," he said.-Bernama
