PETALING JAYA: Industry players hope that more travel destinations can be considered as domestic “tourism bubbles” in addition to the government’s plans to reopen Genting Highlands, Pulau Tioman and Melaka.

Malaysian Association of Tour and Travel Agents (MATTA) president Datuk Tan Kok Liang said they welcomed more travel bubbles but hoped that the pace could be accelerated to include other destinations nationwide such as those in Penang, Kuching and Kota Kinabalu, with tentative dates to facilitate promotions and effectiveness.
