THE MALAYSIAN Indian Travel and Tour Association (MITA) has clarified that it "does not bear grievances against Malaysian Association of Tour & Travel Agents (MATTA)", following a report on national travel and tour associations urging the Malaysian tourism minister to end compulsory membership in MATTA (TTG Asia e-Daily, June 4). MITA president, K Thangavelu, said his association was not part of the June 3 joint press conference by captains of Malaysian Inbound Tourism Association, Car Rental Association of Malaysia, Bumitra Malaysia and Malaysian Chinese Tourism Association. He, however, said MITA supported the call for non-compulsory MATTA membership as this would save members from paying double membership annual fees and assist MITA with its membership drive. K Thangavelu added that MITA, along with the other associations, sent memorandums to the Tourism Ministry of this matter in August 2009 and last month.
