The way forward for tourism in Malaysia

 

JANUARY 27 — Tourism has been the sector of Malaysia’s economy worst hit by the Covid-19 pandemic. After all, the movement control order (MCO) and the lockdown orders to curtail the spread of the virus work against the very essence of the sector, effectively impeding the businesses of hospitality, entertainment, tours, travel, meetings, exposition, concerts, sporting events and social gatherings.

Many discussions have been held at various levels to address the economic impact of the lockdown and prolonged travel restrictions. The most common phrase derived from the experience of the industry in 2020 is the call for a “new normal” and appropriate preventive action to ensure public health and safety. But let's leave the battle with this virus to the medical practitioners and healthcare providers, and examine what the factors are that should be addressed to arrive at this “new normal” and rebuild the industry.

The overall performance of the tourism sector of Malaysia has been badly affected by a series of unfortunate incidents even before this pandemic, involving our airlines and the airports. Our share of negative publicity includes the cost and convenience of visa applications and facilities for two major growing markets, South Asia and China. General travellers safety, too, has been an ongoing issue.

To further compound the situation, neighbouring countries in Asean and the new tourism destinations in the region and around the world were moving on high gear in promoting their destinations, coupled with vibrant and strong national economies and political stability. Countries like Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, South Korea and Japan saw huge growth in their tourism industries during this period. Malaysia, on the other hand, has been seeing a decline in tourism arrivals since 2014.

With the developments that we witnessed, it is quite obvious that the “new normal” will be to look back to the situation in Malaysia some 20 years ago and to do everything that was done then to enjoy the benefits of robust and expanding international tourist arrivals and industry development. Common sense suggests that we have to reverse the undue tendency of the past few years to conserve our resources by cutting back on promotions and shrinking our organisational network and operations. There are no two ways about the need for greater investment for advertising and promotions and expansion of our operations.

Needless to say, we cannot expect more tourists to our shores by doing less. We cannot grow our market size and share by shrinking our communications and transport networks. We cannot correct the negative perception and rebuild our image without working with the media and the travel intermediaries for which capital injections are essential. More than anything else is the need to capitalise on the expertise of industry practitioners with the right knowledge and experience to address major policy issues. In this regard, the various organisations responsible for the industry must be re-examined.

To begin with, the representation on Tourism Malaysia Board and its operational autonomy must be restored. The participation of the heads of the Malaysia Association of Hotels (MAH), Malaysian Association of Tours and Travel Agents (MATTA) and Malaysia Airlines Bhd (MAB) as our national carrier, alongside other industry representatives on its board line up is crucial.The skill and experience of tourism industry professionals should be duly capitalised upon.

Tourism, as a composite industry, thrives on networking, teamwork and strong personal relationships. Without faith and confidence, it will cease to exist. This is where the Malaysia Tourism Promotion Board or Tourism Malaysia’s strength lies. Staff with vast experience should be given due support and recognition. Their links with the travel industry should be encouraged and appreciated. The tendency to doubt this relationship in the past, leading to a series of baseless allegations of impropriety and the undue publicity that ensued, has left a mixed perception on the overall integrity of the organisation. This must be corrected.

This matter needs understanding and should always be fact checked. Undue suspicion and continued mistrust by the authorities will only complicate issues and hamper any attempt to get the best performance out of this set of well-exposed and professional staff.

In the last few years, a number of other government-linked companies and agencies were formed, both at the state and federal level, that duplicate the role and functions of Tourism Malaysia. The budgets allocated to these organisations depleted the financial resources available for a focused and extensive international advertising and promotions campaign over a period of several years. As such, the functions and continued existence of these organisation should be reviewed. The savings from their operations should be consolidated to enable a more extensive and effective global promotions campaign.

Given the current scenario and the deep anxiety on the need to revive the industry, the “new normal” for tourism needs a revisit of Malaysia’s tourism industry that dates back to the effects of the currency crisis of 1998. And then charting a path for correcting identified weaknesses, shortcomings or potential opportunities by way of an intensive campaign, both strategic and integrated, as was done then. The campaign during this period of between 1999 and 2007 has been acknowledged worldwide as one of the most effective and outstanding in the quantifiable results achieved. The growth of tourist arrivals to Malaysia then was unprecedented and remains exemplary to many National Tourism Organisations.

There is no need to reinvent the wheel. Let the industry experts who survived in this period, remain active and ready to serve, do their part for the remaining years of their service and enterprise.

Malaysia agents use Covid downtime to upgrade offerings

 

Langkawi’s Mega Water Sports & Holidays looks to combine its jet ski tours with other product offerings

Gripped by a second lockdown, with interstate travel off the cards, tourism players in Malaysia are using the downtime to develop new products and strategise how to adapt their existing products for a domestic crowd.

Sharmini Violet, director of sales and marketing at Mega Water Sports & Holidays in Langkawi, said the company is in the midst of developing combo tour packages marrying its signature jet ski tours with other product offerings available in the archipelago, such as mangrove kayaking, go karting and sunset cruises.

“We are helping to support other travel businesses in Langkawi through marketing and sales. These combo packages will be sold at lower rates, as compared to individual products, to domestic consumers,” she said.

The company is also relooking existing products to see how they can be better tailored to the needs of the local market, such as offering shorter, two-hour tours, considering most domestic tourists would prefer to pack several activities into a multi-day excursion.

Mint Leong, managing director, Sunflower Holidays, said all her staff are working from home to develop packages to lesser-known destinations in Melaka and Selangor as well as experiential tours to Terengganu and Kelantan.

Having conducted recces in Malaka before the movement control order came into effect last week, Leong said they are now “compiling our comments and ideas on how to improve existing products”.

The company is also padding its product portfolio. “We have developed new products to off-the-beaten areas in Selangor, such as Sungai Sirip Biru, Sungai Pelek and Hulu Selangor district,” Leong said.

“When business was good, we didn’t have time to do product development, an area we are now focused on, and we will start promoting these packages once interstate travel is allowed,” she added.

“We are also looking at developing experiential tours to the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia, to promote local cultures, food and experiences.”

Meanwhile, some tour agents are spending their downtime – and hard-earned dough – on a good cause. Laili Basir, founder of Pahang-based Laili Basir Event Adventure, has appealed to his business network for cash donations to purchase basic necessities for the flood victims in Pahang and the under-privileged in Sabah.

Laili also pays the guides, drivers and others in his network to assist with the distribution of these items to the communities. He said: “It is not as much as what they used to earn in the past (before Covid hit), but it is something to help them through this difficult period.”

Malaysia Airlines Receives Full Marks for its COVID-19 Safety Protocol

 

KLIA, 19 January 2021: Malaysia Airlines has received seven stars - full marks - from Airline Ratings in an independent review of its COVID-19 health and safety measures.

 

The rating is based on seven criteria: COVID-19 guidance on the airline’s website, social distancing during boarding, flight attendants’ Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), the compulsory wearing of face masks onboard, modifications to the meal service, passenger hygiene kits, and the deep cleaning of the aircraft. Malaysia Airlines was deemed to have excelled in all categories, resulting in it being awarded all seven stars.

 

Airline Ratings is a worldwide airline safety and product rating review website. Its rating system ranges from one to seven stars, taking into account a number of different factors related to audits from aviation’s governing bodies, lead associations, and the airline’s own safety data.

 

Group Chief Executive Officer of Malaysia Airlines, Captain Izham Ismail said, “COVID-19 has presented a challenge unlike any the aviation industry has faced previously, and Malaysia Airlines has needed to adapt our services and protocols quickly to ensure that our passengers and staff are kept safe and comfortable. In July 2020 we introduced the “Fly Confidently” campaign, to educate passengers on the enhanced measures implemented across touchpoints at airports as well as on board.

 

We are very proud that the range of measures we have put in place from check-in through to arrivals have been recognised by Airline Ratings and hope that this seven-star rating provides further reassurance to our customers that every flight with Malaysia Airlines will be safe and enjoyable for all onboard.”

 

To take advantage of the airline’s great prices and outstanding COVID-19 safety record, guests can book their tickets via Malaysia Airlines’ App, the airline’s official website at www.malaysiaairlines.com and participating travel agents.

Permai package: RM66m to aid tourism industry players

 

The Perlindungan Ekonomi dan Rakyat Malaysia (Permai) assistance package has brought a measure of relief to tourism industry players who were badly affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. - NSTP//FARIZUL HAFIZ AWANG.

KUALA LUMPUR: The Perlindungan Ekonomi dan Rakyat Malaysia (Permai) assistance package has brought a measure of relief to tourism industry players who were badly affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said that under the package, the government has agreed to provide a one-off financial assistance of RM500 to alleviate the burden faced by the group, including taxi and bus drivers.

Those who stand to benefit from this initiative include 14,000 tourist guides as well as 118,000 drivers of taxis, school buses, tour buses, rental cars and e-hailing vehicles. 

Muhyiddin said an additional allocation of RM66 million has been provided for this initiative.

"In addition, the government currently provides an exemption from excise duty and sales tax for the purpose of transfer, disposal and private use of taxis, provided the vehicle is owned for seven years. 

"I am happy to announce that this condition has been reduced to five years, effective from Jan 1 to Dec 31, 2021," he said in a special address today.

Muhyiddin also announced the introduction of a new Bus and Taxi Hire Purchase Rehabilitation Scheme where those involved will get a 50 per cent guarantee on financing from hire purchase and leasing companies.

The prime minister said a guarantee of RM1 billion will be provided for this purpose.

"Syarikat Jaminan Pembiayaan Perniagaan will introduce a Bus and Taxi Hire Purchase Rehabilitation Scheme. 

"Under this scheme, a 50 per cent guarantee on financing from hire purchase and leasing companies will be provided for selected buses such as sightseeing buses, and taxis. 

"Through this, bus and taxi operators can restructure their financing and enjoy a 12-month moratorium and lower monthly repayments."

Malaysia Airlines Offers Passengers Flexibility to Rebook Travels Due to Second Phase of Movement Control Order and Interstate Travel Ban

 

Sepang, 13 January 2021: Malaysia Airlines is offering passengers the flexibility to rebook their travels with a one-time fare difference and service fee waiver, following the enforcement of the Movement Control Order in six states and interstate travel ban imposed by the Malaysian Government. The airline will continue to operate with reduced frequency, upholding its obligation as the national carrier and supporting worldwide cargo movement with sister airline, MABkargo.

 

With the ticket change flexibility, passengers with all types of tickets, including Enrich redemption tickets, may change their travel plans for domestic destinations throughout the Movement Control Order. The rebookings must be made on or before 30 June 2021 for travel to be completed by 31 December 2021.

 

Malaysia Airlines Berhad’s Group Chief Executive Officer, Captain Izham Ismail, “With the recent spike in COVID-19 cases in the country, we urge passengers to adhere to all the safety measures that we have put in place on ground and on board, to support the Government’s efforts in curbing and breaking the chain of infection. At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have been offering our passengers with many flexible travel options and continue to do so, to give passengers regardless of fare class, including the Lite Fare, the certainty and peace of mind that their tickets remain eligible for future travel with us.

 

Alternatively, with the introduction of Economy Flex last year, a new fare tier that seeks to create a stress-free and easy travel process, passengers can take advantage of our Ultimate Flexibility. That includes unlimited date changes with no fees incurred alongside other travel benefits, including free refunds without a fee, Go Show flexibility, priority check-in, boarding, and check-in baggage allowance of 35kg.”

 

To provide a safer travel experience, Malaysia Airlines and its sister airlines Firefly and MASwings introduced the ‘Fly Confidently’ campaign to educate passengers on the enhanced measures implemented across touchpoints at airports and on board. These measures include mandatory usage of face masks and frequent aircraft disinfection for a refined inflight experience to comply with social distancing requirements and minimal contact and the assurance of the aircraft HEPA filters that are proven to filter out 99.97 per cent of viruses on board.

 

The integration that RebateMango offers to partners does not only provide them with scale in-retailer offerings but also significant cost-savings in human resources to manage an online shopping platform. A key value proposition of RebateMango's Retailer API is the B2C platform that RebateMango already runs. This sets them apart from other loyalty providers who may not provide primary customer service support, retailer offers management or transactional rewards calculations. The integration is extremely simple, and the solution also allows the partner to focus on what really matters, which is ancillary revenue.

 

Passengers looking to rebook their travels can make the changes online on www.malaysiaairlines.com or contact our call Centre at 1 300 88 3000 (within Malaysia) or +603 7843 3000 (outside Malaysia).

Matta calls for rescue plan following return of MCO

 

KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Association of Tour and Travel Agents (Matta) has urged the government to rescue the industry following the return of the Movement Control Order (MCO) this year.

Its president Datuk Tan Kok Liang said tour and travel agents have been battling with collapsing revenue and liquidity problems since the start of the pandemic.

"However, the government's efforts have not made any significant impact on this segment of the industry.

"Tourism businesses are currently in extreme distress due to the very fragile and uncertain business environment which is expected to continue late into 2021," he said in a statement today.

With MCO re-enforced this year, he said the industry is expecting more hotels to close or wind-up while more travel agents especially those owning tourism vehicles are very likely to face the same fate as hoteliers.

He stressed that the tourism sector has been one of the key contributors to Malaysia's gross domestic product (GDP) with 14.1 per cent (RM166 billion) in 2015, 14.5 per cent (RM182 billion) in 2016, 14.6 per cent (RM201 billion) in 2017, 15.2 per cent (RM220 billion) in 2018 and 15.9 per cent (RM240 billion) in 2019.

With the exception of last year, Tan believes the tourism sector is vitally important to the country and urged the government to come up with an enhanced and targeted rescue plan.

Matta called on the government to provide loan moratorium extensions and enhanced wage subsidy programmes until June 30 this year.

They also proposed for reliefs on rental, insurance and statutory licensing fees to help those who are affected especially the small and medium enterprises (SMEs) who already had to burn a lot of cash just to survive the last MCO.

"Over 5,000 travel companies are now in the 'ICU' condition and the government needs to initiate rehabilitation programmes as the situation will get worse.

"Allowing travel agents to close business premises and operate from home and the cancellation of the mandatory Travel & Tours Enhancement Course (TTEC) programmes for travel companies are good gestures of support," he added.

In the meantime, he suggested the association members go for re-skilling, though they were not directly supported by the government at the moment.

"It is also imperative for the government to resolve the issues on deposits held by airlines and related service providers, make urgent corrections to the (outdated) Tourism Industry Act 1992 and provide flexibility of approval for conversion of tour buses into other categories. This will allow these buses to be utilied for other purposes - these are practical measures that the government needs to assist."

"It is no longer 'business as usual' under the Covid-19 pandemic and we urge the various government agencies to make immediate policy changes to ease the financial burden of the hardest hit industry in Malaysia," he said.

Selangor, Penang, Melaka, Johor, Sabah, Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya and Labuan are now under the MCO following a spike in Covid-19 cases recently.

Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin announced that the MCO would be in effect for two weeks until Jan 26.

The Health Ministry projected that the daily cases will reduce to between 1,000 and 500 within four to five weeks.
