Severe fines proposed under Act 342 amendments will stifle tourism recovery, says association


KOTA KINABALU: The severe fines proposed under amendments to the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases Act 1988 (Act 342) will hinder tourism activities, says Datuk Seri Winston Liaw.

Describing the amendments as a "wrong move," the Sabah Association of Tour and Travel Agents (SATTA) chairman said that it stifles many tourism activities by associations or private event organisers.
