SEMPORNA: The government will build a Seri Malaysia hotel in Semporna to reduce the shortage of hotel rooms here, especially during the festive seasons.
Unity, Culture, Arts and Heritage Minister Datuk Mohd Shafie Apdal (pictured left) said the site for the hotel had been identified and construction would begin this year.
“We are confident that the hotel would meet the needs of local visitors and foreign tourists, especially during the festive seasons and the Lepa Regatta held each year here,” he said after presenting prizes to the winners of this year’s regatta.
He said there had always been a shortage of hotel rooms here since the regatta was organised in 1994, adding that many of the local and foreign tourists were forced to stay in Tawau or Lahad Datu, about two hours’ journey from Semporna.
