Siti Nurhaliza's Wedding: Lipis and Jerantut Hotels Rejoice!

Hotels and rest houses in the Lipis and Jerantut districts have never had it so good. While hotels in parts of the country have been experiencing low occupancy rates for quite a while, here they have been booked from Sept 1 to 3 in conjunction with the wedding reception of Siti Nurhaliza and Datuk Khalid Mohd Jiwa at Dataran Lipis here on Sept 3.

At Lipis Plaza Hotel for example, all 51 rooms in the hotel have been booked for the three days and people were still calling in for accommodation! Similarly most hotels in Jerantut, about 60 km from Lipis, were also almost fully booked.

Among those who booked rooms in Lipis were journalists, including from television stations in the country. A spokesman for Centre Point Hotel in Lipis said all the rooms at the hotel were booked for the three days last month itself.

Therefore all roads lead will to Lipis for the duration of those few days. The one-woman industry that Siti is now, has brightened and brought a smile to many faces in so many sectors. The honeymoon is not only for her but for these happy people too.
