PETALING JAYA, Nov 14 — The Covid-19 pandemic has significantly influenced the global tourism industry.
Wayne Tarman, the director of sales and research at Borneo Adventure Sdn Bhd, expressed the differences such programmes had for their business. “At the end of the day, companies need to increase their income in order to be able to sustain business and pay employees their salaries,” the director said.As chairman of the National Recovery Council , former prime minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yasin had encouraged the government to reopen the borders as early as October 2021.
“This is around 40 per cent of pre-Covid levels. Overall, our total sales are around 50 per cent of pre-Covid levels. We expect recovery to pre-Covid sales levels in 2024,” Wayne said.“Compared to before the pandemic, business has been slow. Partly because we don’t see any tourists from China because of lockdowns in their country.
When asked what they hope the government should do in the short term to resolve the problem, industry players unanimously agreed that the government should work on providing incentives to encourage people to work in the tourist sector.
