School holidays are back

Malaysia and Singapore school mid term breaks (holidays) are soon approaching. The roads and hotels will all be facing heavy movement with school trips or family holidays. These end-May break coincides with the Arab holiday season and can expect hotel rooms to be in demand.

Malaysia School Holiday
24 May - 8 June 2008

Singapore School Holiday
24 May - 22 June 2008

In Malaysia, several destinations would be the focal point for domestic holidays such as Melaka, Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Langkawi and Cameron Highlands.

Prior to that, Wesak (Visakha) Day falls on May 19 (Monday) and the same can be said holiday spots to be jam packed especially Melaka. The annual procession around Melaka Historical City will take place on Sunday May 18 and with the long weekend, the town centre leading towards Bandar Hilir can expect a long crawl with many looking forward to experience the newly opened Menara Taming Sari (revolving observation tower), Melaka River Walk and Jonker Walk.

To reserve your rooms early, here are some hotels where you can book directly and obtain the direct confirmation from the hotel. This gives you the peace of mind to travel during the school holidays knowing that accomodation is guaranteed.

Happy holidays and have a safe and pleasant journey!
