Penang State Government is drafting an operational guideline for the adaption of uniform Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) for all hotels in Penang, said Penang State EXCO for Tourism, Arts, Culture, and Heritage (PETACH) YB Yeoh Soon Hin.

“This guideline will encompass the cleaning and disinfecting routines, the SOPs for employees, 3rd Party Associates (i.e. vendors, suppliers, tenants, and contractors), and hotel guests.

“We had a ‘Penang Tourism, Next Norm’ online meeting discussion with Penang’s hoteliers from MAHB Penang and MyBHA Penang yesterday. Taking their feedback into consideration, we are now making the necessary adjustments on the guidelines, in order to make it more complete and relevant,” he said in a press statement today.

Yeoh said this guideline will also provide a uniformed format log to record the entries of people into the hotel.

“It will be used officially in all Penang hotels once the guideline is approved,” he added.
