PETALING JAYA: After months of inactivity, tourism players are now ready to open their doors again with the hope that the recovery movement control order (MCO) will live up to its name.

Malaysian Association of Hotels (MAH) chief executive officer Yap Lip Seng says the June 10 commencement of the next phase of the MCO will be significant for the tourism sector as it signals the beginning of the recovery of domestic tourism.
