PETALING JAYA: While the opening up of Langkawi is a good start in the revitalisation of the travel industry, tourism industry players opined that other tourist destinations should be given a shot in the arm too. The secretary-general of The Malaysian Association of Tour & Travel Agents (MATTA) Nigel Wong said that vacation destinations should not only be confined to islands.

“Even though each island may have its individual characteristic, it’s just a matter of modelling the restricted location and making sure the SOPs are in place.
