Malaysia is a popular destination in Southeast Asia, have a variety of attractions including beautiful beaches, interesting diving / snorkeling, relaxing island resort, Highland remain cool, fascinating historical sites, flora and fauna, etc., traveling from Another place to place is very convenient, the best way to drive yourself. There are also a variety of food available from local Malaysian-style, Asian style, and Western InternationalStyle. There are many hotels, apartments, chalets, bungalows and resorts available, Home ranges from simple "stay" kind of motel into a luxurious five-star hotel. Unfortunately, the posting of a hotel that is not so comfortable.

In October 2008, during the holiday Ramadan Festival, we were able to book an apartment in Cameron Highlands. The apartment is located on the "Brinchang" Town, Cameron Highlands, called "Honeymoon Villa." Honeymoon Villa is a mixture ofAnd residential apartments. All units have brought three rooms with kitchen and cooking utensils. The living room is very spacious, good for 10 people. The property is also very sensitive, and we remain very fun.

In June 2009, when we planned to book this apartment again, we were not able to search the flat number. Try searching the internet, but failed. The only way is to book through a travel agent. Since they had no familiarity with any oftour agency, we change our plan. We book a different apartment that my friend has his phone number but was smaller and the price was higher.

In early 2009, my family and I planned a trip to Maxwell Hill, Taiping Perak, stay for a night. After searching through the Internet, no contact information of the bungalow was available. No choice, we can not make advance booking of accommodation. We will try our luck and went directly to the bottom of the hill and asked MaxwellThe government official there. Finally, we Have been able to obtain the phone number of a bungalow, "Cendana Hut" and we were very happy, it was still units available!

On these two episodes, our conclusion is that, in order to promote tourism in Malaysia, the industry needs is a suitable hotel in the tourist information on everything possible. I travel in China, in order, are very popular hotel booking agencies, as ctrip and elongation, butMalaysia, this industry is still young, hard to find an agent known historian and booking hotels. If we are not careful, they leave at times is really a nightmare if you do not make hotel reservations made.
