Tourism Ministry eyeing Middle East, central Asia, Indian tourists

The ministry’s secretary-general, Datuk Noor Zari Hamat said prior to the outbreak, the ministry had been eyeing markets from Europe and other Asean countries.“Last month, we attended the Asean Tourism Forum in Brunei. Part of our discussion revolved around intensifying the Asean market into Malaysia as 68 per cent are from the Asean region,” he said.

He was speaking to reporters after attending an inspection of the Kota Kinabalu International Airport here today. Also present were Tourism Malaysia director-general Datuk Musa Yusof and KKIA senior manager Sunif Naiman. He said the Tourism Ministry will temporarily cease its promotional campaigns in China until April, although Malaysia recorded around three million Chinese tourists last year.
