KUALA LUMPUR: Top island resorts such as Langkawi, Pangkor, Redang, Tioman and Perhentian are expected to be ready for reopening early next month, says tourism minister Nancy Shukri.
However, the reopening would depend on the government’s decision and the standard operating procedures to be set.
“The decision to reopen the tourism sector must be made after an in-depth study and with great care to prevent an outbreak which may cause the sector to be closed again.
“At the same time, the ministry is updating and finalising the SOPs for the tourism sector,” she said in a statement today.
Nancy said a meeting was held with 15 representatives from the tourism industry to prepare for the reopening of the tourism sector, especially those operating the popular resort islands.
The session aimed at getting feedback from industry players was also in line with the government’s announcement on the easing of restrictions for those who are fully vaccinated.
Nancy said she hoped that all parties involved could move in one direction for the smooth execution of the strategic plan.
Among those involved in the online meeting with the minister were representatives from the Malaysian Association of Hotels, the Malaysian Association of Tour and Travel Agents and the Association of Malaysian Spas. - FMT
