IPOH: Vaccine passports would be a boost to the global tourism industry, not just in Malaysia.

Malaysian Chinese Tourism Association Perak Chapter chairman Jimmy Goh said with such a passport, people would be able to travel again, which would help revive the battered industry and the economy.

“People would be able travel safely and confidently. There are so many who are eager to travel again, whether it is abroad or locally.“Tourism also affects the transportation, accommodation and retail sectors, ” he said. The World Health Organisation, however, is against it due to the shortage of or unequal access to vaccines in many countries.In Malaysia, those vaccinated will be issued with a digital certificate on their MySejahtera app.“They can probably work with a neighbouring Asian country first and then expand it to others.Ipoh City Watch president Dr Richard Ng also said it was important to have the passport as it could differentiate between those who have been vaccinated and those who have not.
