6.1.3. Adopt/Develop Standard
The OIC countries that do not currently have MFT regulation in place are advised to adopt an
existing MFT standard that is suitable for the OIC countries with their level of development. It is
recommended to follow SMIIC’s standard, and adjust the detailed criteria to match industry
readiness and guest needs especially that the SMIIC standard will allow for local customization.
Other standards that may be adopted include the Malaysia MS 2610:2015 standard, or the
Sofyan standard.
As an example of the main categories that are covered by MFT standards, below are the
categories covered Malaysia’s MS 2610:2015 standard:
 Rooms
