Room for more hotels in Sabah


Feeling the entrepreneurial itch? Well, you might like to try opening a hotel in Sabah which is facing a tremendous shortage of rooms due to the increased tourist traffic.

According to this
report, the state will require more than 6000 additional rooms to cope with growth by the end of 2011 (i.e. the end of the 9th Malaysia Plan period). Sabah currently has 12,500 rooms in 270 hotels which are already apparently running at full capacity.

I've only been to KK once and it's a nice enough place with a lovely sea frontage and a very human-scale built environment. I'm not so thrilled though about the poor stateless street kids who roam the city at night to beg - it lends an air of hopelessness which is more akin to other cities in the region.
