While tourism recovery in Malaysia has been coasting steadily along this year, things are expected to move at a faster pace within the next few months. This is thanks in part to the government’s recent decision to implement a visa exemption rule for China and India tourists to Malaysia.
Of course, other factors and efforts by stakeholders and tourism players in the different sectors should be mentioned too. In aviation, for example, the addition of many new international and domestic flight routes by Malaysia Airlines, AirAsia and Batik Air (and the reinstating of some old routes that were shelved during the pandemic), as well as the increase in number of daily or weekly flights, has certainly helped with arrival numbers.
Uh-oh! Daily quota reached.
