Minister Nancy Shukri is
seeking funding for online training courses for tourism frontliners
|
The Tourism, Arts and
Culture Ministry is looking at ways of strengthening domestic tourism and
restoring the travel confidence of locals, once it is safe to do so.
Speaking at a recent
webinar organised by the Malaysian Association of Tour and Travel Agents (MATTA),
entitled Protecting the Tourism Workforce, minister Nancy Shukri said domestic
tourism will help to spur the local tourism industry which has been badly hit
by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Nancy called on inbound
tour operators to create innovative programmes in rural areas as well as areas
that have been neglected by tourism stakeholders, while the ministry will help
with promotions.
She added: “We are also
looking at providing online training to further enhance the skills and quality
of services for tourism frontliners.”
For this purpose, the
ministry has proposed to the Economic Action Council for limited training
allowances to run online training courses.
Nancy urged inbound tour
operators to make use of the ministry’s grants for domestic marketing and
promotions of domestic business events for 2020.
