The Tourism Industry

I've done a little study on tourism in johor bahru..since i'm designing service apartment:)



The hotel occupancy rate from year 2002 to 2007 were averagely stable at the figure of 60 percent. Somehow the growth of tourism decreased tremendously from 2004 -05, but getting better towards year 2007.

Even though the tourist arrivals were not that popular for 2005 -2007 compared to 2004, yet the hotel occupancy rate were still able to remain stable. The factor could be support by local tourist or business trip.



Tourist from singapore consist of the highest percentage that arrives our country, net in line is thailand.

This was mainly due to the easy link into this region and malaysia is located between these two country.

Most singaporeans come into malaysia are mainly for vacation, visiting families during festive season & weekend leisure; while people from thailand were mostly for trading & business.
