Island roles are especially common in housekeeping, food and beverage, engineering, spa, diving and guest services, with tourism demand strongest during holiday periods. The culture is multicultural and generally welcoming, combining Malay, Chinese, Indian and Indigenous traditions; English is widely used in hotels, while Malay is the national language. Lifestyle varies from busy city living to relaxed beach communities, and costs are usually lower than in many major international destinations, although island housing can be limited.
