KUALA LUMPUR: The Visit Malaysia 2020 (VM2020) target of 30mil tourist arrivals and RM100bil in tourism receipts has been scaled down from a much higher figure due to the spillover from the airline tragedies in 2014, reveals Tourism Malaysia.

Its director-general Datuk Musa Yusof said in 2009, Tourism Malaysia had set a loftier target of 36mil tourist arrivals and RM160bil in tourism receipts for VMY2020.
