🌏 Taking Malaysian Tourism to the World

Malaysian attractions and tourism experiences are set to gain wider access to international markets following a new strategic partnership between StayMii and GlobalTix.

Signed during NICE 2026 in Kuala Lumpur, the partnership brings together StayMii’s local tourism technology capabilities and GlobalTix’s international B2B distribution network.

Through the StayMii Global Market Connect (SGMC) initiative, Malaysian attractions, museums, tours, cultural sites and experiences can gain stronger connectivity with travel agents, resellers, OTAs and international tourism channels.

The collaboration marks another step towards building a more connected digital tourism ecosystem — helping Malaysian tourism businesses reach travellers beyond our borders. 🇲🇾✈️🌏

🏨 MYBHA Penang Calls for Stronger Regulation of Short-Term Accommodation

The Malaysian Budget & Business Hotel Association (MYBHA) Penang Chapter has welcomed the Penang State Government’s move to introduce new regulations for Private Short-Term Accommodation (TIP), saying proper regulation is essential to protect public safety, ensure appropriate government revenue and maintain a level playing field for accommodation providers.

MYBHA is also proposing that TIP operators contribute local government accommodation-related fees based on the **actual number of rooms offered**, rather than simply by property unit.

The association says a property with multiple bedrooms can accommodate significantly more guests and should therefore be regulated according to its actual accommodation capacity.

MYBHA also called for the new regulations to be enforced fairly and consistently across the industry.

🚍⛽ Sabah’s tourism industry is calling for urgent government intervention as diesel prices are set to rise from July. Industry leaders warn that the increase could place significant financial pressure on tour bus, van and boat operators who remain excluded from the Subsidised Diesel Control System (SKDS).

🌴✈️ Tourism associations say Sabah’s heavy reliance on road transport and air arrivals makes the state particularly vulnerable to rising fuel costs. They caution that operators may be forced to absorb higher expenses, potentially leading to increased tour package prices, reduced competitiveness and financial strain on tourism businesses.

📈🇲🇾 With Visit Malaysia Year 2026 and Visit Sabah Year 2027 on the horizon, industry players are urging the Government to extend targeted diesel subsidies or introduce alternative support measures to protect livelihoods, sustain tourism growth and keep Sabah attractive to travellers from around the world.
