The proposal to keep the country’s borders close for international tourism activities until mid-2021 can help invigorate the economy with domestic spending, said Malaysia Association Tour Agency president Datuk Mohd Khalid Harun.
“However, to boost the domestic tourism sector, the government and state tourism agencies should provide a special incentive to all tourism industry players and not limited to tourist guides or vehicle drivers only. At the same time, Mohd Khalid said MATA also encouraged its members which have been promoting international tour packages to start promoting domestic packages.
