Easier visa only one step to boost tourism, say players

PETALING JAYA: Malaysia’s move to ease visa-on-arrival (VOA) and multiple-entry visa processes to boost foreign tourist arrivals seems like a good step, but some industry players feel it will not have much impact.

“I don’t think getting a visa to visit Malaysia is much of an issue as tourists will still come here because Malaysia is a great destination,” said Fred Rizal, who runs a tour company called Histourism.
