Hotel business around the globe has been witnessing the positive impact of many hospitality technology solutions. And when we talk about Malaysian hotel industry, we cannot simply ignore the enormous importance of hotel management software. Because for a hotel operating in Malaysia, it becomes extremely important to concentrate on guest experience. This can be achieved only by automating day to day complex operations.

Hotel industry in this Southeast Asian country is thriving. According to the Malaysian Tourism Department, the country had around 4, 072 classified hotels with 262, 021 rooms in 2014. In addition to this, around 23% of those properties were in luxury segment and rests of them were mid-size hotels run by local operators. The outlook of the Malaysian hotel market looks good, too with around 10,000 rooms expected to enter the market in next three years.

Looking at the growth of hotel industry in near future, one can expect competition to heat up. Now, this is the situation which warrants adoption of smart hotel management software. Implementation of hotel software helps users to streamline many operations across departments. Plus, extensive automation leads to enhanced productivity at the hotel.
