Further losses without Lima


Bracing for impact: The government announced in July last year that Lima 2021 had been cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and this will severely affect Langkawi tourism as seen in this file photo taken in 2017 during a Lima event.

LANGKAWI: The island’s tourism industry stakeholders are bracing for the impact of the cancellation of this year’s Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition 2021 (Lima) due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The industry players are also sceptical as to whether tourism in Langkawi could return to its glory days.
