Hotels are expecting bookings, with the upcoming Malaysia and Singapore school holidays.
Mr Ivan Teoh, chairman of the Johor chapter of the Malaysian Association of Hotels, said that with Malaysia and Singapore school holidays around the corner, hotels in the state are expecting bookings, especially from across the Causeway.
Asked about tighter security measures taken by Singapore authorities at the border and the rise of Covid-19 cases in the Republic, Mr Teoh said this would not deter Singaporeans from travelling to Johor. Johor Tourist Guides Association chairman Jimmy Leong said the May 17 attack on the police station was an isolated case, which would not affect tourist arrivals.
