Hey, all businesses have a marketing budget.

Taxi drivers, and hotel staff are low income. But they are in a position to drive business to restaurants and other tourist traps. This is a universal thing. To say this is corruption culture is quite frankly a bunch of BS. If you don't want to pay people to promote your theme park, then don't!

I don't blame them for asking for a tip/kickback/commission for driving business your way. No one is going to work promoting your business for free. You should ask Genting and Sunway Lagoon how much they're paying hotel staff and taxi drivers to promote.

Most tourist these days can check any recommendation on Google Map Reviews or Food. Travel review blogs to see of they're being scammed.

If someone can drive business your way, and close a sale, all commission is usually paid. Is a commission a bribe?

It is like a VPN referral code on a Youtube video. If you insert the promo code and the video creator gets a commission, is that a "kickback" or corruption?

Yes! Corruption comes in many ways.
