PETALING JAYA: While year-end sales have been encouraging, retailers are hoping that the visa-free travel for Chinese and Indian tourists will further boost sales, especially for the coming Chinese New Year.

Retailers say while it may be too late to catch the tourist crowd for the Christmas and year-end shopping, they are hoping for stronger sales in 2024 as the 30-day visa-free travel initiative for visitors from China and India to Malaysia – which started on Dec 1 – is effective until Dec 31 next year.
