Definition of Homestay
Homestay originally is two-joint English word of home and stay. In English Language, home means house whereas stay refers to residing at a certain place.
Through this concept, tourists will stay with selected family in their homes and have a chance to experience their daily life and its Malaysian unique culture.
The concept of Live-Together programme is the latest accommodation / lodging facility in Malaysian tourism industry.
