PETALING JAYA: Operators of budget hotels in Malaysia want the Federal Government to regulate online travel agencies (OTAs), arguing that the free-for-all situation online will lead to an unsustainable travel industry, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The Malaysian Budget and Business Hotel Association also said there was a need to enforce guidelines pertaining to the short-term residential accommodation business.

“The operational cost is very high but the selling price of the rooms is very low,” he said during a virtual press conference yesterday, where he claimed that the price war among the OTAs was driving prices of rooms downwards.
