BEIJING: Chinese visitors will have a breezier and faster entry into Malaysia with the easing of the visa application process - a move that will increase the number of arrivals, bringing in more tourist yuan.
Already responsible for spending RM3.1bil in Malaysia last year, the Chinese are expected to outstrip tourist receipts in 2012 and surpass the number of arrivals which hit 1.4 million last year.
With the appointment of a joint-venture company to process visa applications in China - meaning that tourists will no longer need to visit Malaysian missions in the republic for their travel documents arrivals have jumped by 40%. While the one-stop visa application centres began operations in April, only visa applications from tour groups were processed. Now, the facility will be opened to individual travellers.
