IPOH, Sept 1 — Perak Tourism Association president Datuk Mohd Odzman Abdul Kadir said authorities and stakeholders should begin promoting the state as a safe travel destination to prepare for the end of the Covid-19 pandemic.
“The fear of Covid-19 has caused jitters and this will affect everyone who wants to holiday like the way they used to, prior to this pandemic,” he said in a statement. “Domestic tourism is the only avenue that industry players can find hope in, to continue their business and provide employment opportunities to laid off staff,” he said.
“[The Tourism and Culture Ministry] and Tourism Perak must jointly introduce a ‘Compliance Certification’ to be placed next to the MySejathera QR code for tourists and the public to view. The certificate will denote that the operator is ‘Certified Safe to Visit’.
