Room for optimism

Sabah's latest 600-room 4-star Ming Garden hotel opened on a high note earlier this month amid falling demand for rooms as Malaysia Airlines has stopped flights between Kota Kinabalu and Osaka, Haneda, Seoul and Perth. These routes to Japan, South Korea and Australia are important to Sabah's tourism. Nevertheless, Sabah Chief Minister Musa Aman is upbeat because the industry is resilient. And he expects more tourists this year.

Tourism

Aiming at Chinese tourists

A staggering 57m Chinese travelled abroad last year, according to the Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA). They spent about 173 billion ringgit ($55 billion). Still, the World Trade Organisation (WTO) expects 100m Chinese to travel out of their country every year by 2015. That is only 8% of China's 1.3 billion population. And already they are making their small presence felt in Sabah which is cashing in on their influx.

Career

Hotel jobs in great demand

Cooking is his passion. And so Rommy Miun, 20, is on his way to fulfill his dream of becoming a great chef. He now works as a cook with Shangri-La's Rasa Ria Resort in Tuaran, about 30km from Kota Kinabalu, after six months of training with the hotel. Deputy chief minister Dr Yee Moh Chai is happy that his government's 15-year training collaboration with Rasa Ria has attracted many young Sabahans like Miun to the industry.

Looks good, tastes good

Cupcakes or fairy cakes may not be local fare. But they are popular in Sabah, said Alex Cham, chairman of the Sabah and Labuan chapter of the Malaysian Association of Hotels (MAH). “These days, they are served at weddings.” So, 4,500 of the colourful cakes of many flavours were baked by chefs from 10 hotels and students of a hotel and catering school. They shaped the Malaysian flag of yellow, red, blue and white to highlight the Sabah hospitality fiesta on November 6.

Hotel workers

Where guests pay most of staff salaries

Didiawaty Rosli, 23, is elegantly dressed for her job as a waitress at Hotel Promenade in Kota Kinabalu. But she earns only a monthly basic salary of 350 ringgit ($103) which makes her one of the lowest paid workers in Malaysia. That is very much below the poverty line of 690 ringgit for people living in Sabah.
