The hotel, to be named Kerjaya Hotel, will have 306 rooms and is expected to employ 400 workers.
Mohd Ali said the first section to be built will be the 32-storey hotel, followed by the three blocks of 27-storey serviced apartments which will comprise 700 units.
"The hotel has targeted 75 per cent occupancy and hopefully, will help the state government to extend the stay of tourists from 1.89 nights achieved last year," he said.
He also said that 136 residents occupying 80 houses in the development area will receive compensation amounting to RM1.93 million.
Mohd Ali also announced that starting in the first week of next month, Riau Airlines will be using the Boeing 737 aircraft which can carry up to 140 passengers for its daily flights between Melaka and Pekan Baru, Riau.
The Boeing aircraft will replace the Fokker 50 aircraft which can carry up to 50 passengers. -- Bernama
