As Kota Warisan is the nearest housing estate to the Kuala Lumpur International Airport, its residents comprise of mainly airport ground staff and airline crew, who find the proxity to the Salak Tinggi Station a great boon for commuting to work.
Salak Tinggi is inundated annually by motorsports fans when it hosts the Formula 1 Malaysian Grand Prix at the Sepang International Circuit (SIC). Most travellers stay at the Empress Hotel or De Palma Inn although the recently-opened Transit Service Centre budget hotel at the Airport City Business Centre is becoming increasingly popular due its proximity to the Salak Tinggi ERL Station where there is a twice-hourly KLIA Transit service to KLIA and KL Central. The Transit Service Centre budget hotel is very popular with the Low-Cost Carrier Terminal (LCCT) passengers who are generally more price-sensitive.
