KUALA LUMPUR: The air of uncertainty regarding the national tourism industry’s ability to rebound following the Covid-19 pandemic has dissipated as Malaysia surpassed its target of two million tourist arrivals.

Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri said the country hit the mark on Tuesday and it has a new target of 4.5 million arrivals.

“Similarly, we are looking to target young honeymooners in our upcoming programmes through caravan tourism activities once we formalise this concept. “Of the total number, 10,000 are allocated for housekeeping, 6,000 for spa workers, 6,000 for massage workers with the remaining 12,000 as caddies. She also acknowledged that the problem of labour shortage was not only faced by the tourism sector but also involved all other industries in the country.

“This will enable our cultural gifts to be explored beyond what is possible and help accelerate prominence internationally,” she said.
