On 13 March 2026, the Malaysian Association for Training Providers (MATPRO) organised its inaugural Strategic Hotel Partnership Pitching Session, bringing together selected hotels and resorts to present exclusive corporate rates and value-added offerings for MATPRO members.

This initiative was introduced to create greater value for members by providing access to preferred accommodation and training venues at special negotiated rates. Through these strategic partnerships, MATPRO members can conduct training programmes in quality venues while offering competitive and cost-effective solutions to their corporate clients.

The collaboration also establishes a mutually beneficial relationship between MATPRO and its hotel partners. As training providers regularly organise corporate learning events, workshops, and conferences, MATPRO members serve as an important channel in bringing business opportunities and increased visibility to participating hotels and resorts.

The session received an encouraging response, with nine distinguished hotels and resorts participating in the pitching session. Their commitment reflects a shared vision of strengthening collaboration between the training and hospitality industries while enhancing the overall experience for corporate learning events.

MATPRO extends its sincere appreciation to all participating hotels and resorts for their support and looks forward to expanding this initiative by welcoming more hotel and resort partners from across Malaysia in the years ahead.
