Hotel
association announces adjustment to expo date amidst accessibility concerns
KUALA LUMPUR – The Malaysian Association of
Hotels (MAH) has announced a date adjustment for the Hospitality Suppliers
Expo, one of the flagship events of MAH Hospitality Week 2025. Originally
scheduled for 27–28 May, the Expo will now take place on 28–29 May 2025
at Vivatel Hotel Kuala Lumpur.
The decision comes in light of the Malaysian government's announcement of
significant road closures and traffic diversions throughout the Klang Valley
from 23 to 28 May 2025 due to Malaysia hosting the 46th ASEAN Summit at
the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC). These closures are expected to
impact traffic flow even outside the immediate summit area.
To ensure smooth accessibility, participant safety, and overall event
quality, MAH made the strategic decision to shift the Expo by one day.

Chairman and Vice President, Dato’ Khoo Boo Lim, shared:
"This minor adjustment ensures a smoother, safer, and more impactful
experience for everyone involved. We thank our partners and stakeholders for
