BENGALURU,
20 February 2021 – In anticipation of border reopening,
Tourism Malaysia India Offices are engaging with Travel Agents Association of
India (TAAI) and Travel Agents Federation of India (TAFI) in a three-day
meeting starting 19 February 2021 to set sights on strategic planning and come
up with key initiatives, strategies and activities.
Organised at the ITC Gardenia, the Directors
and the entire marketing staffs from Tourism Malaysia New Delhi, Chennai and
Mumbai Offices are also meeting up with tour operators and travel agents of
Bengaluru to get feedback on the current COVID-19 pandemic to woo back Indian
tourists to Malaysia.
The meeting also serves to update the
partners on Malaysia’s latest situation as well as tourism products and
developments.
Mr Sulaiman Suip, Director of Tourism
Malaysia - New Delhi Office said, the recent Malaysia Airlines achievement in
receiving full marks for its COVID-19 health and safety measures (by Airline
Ratings) shows Malaysia’s preparedness and commitment towards safety and
hygiene. Therefore, we will continue to build confidence and awareness that
hopefully will translate into a desire to travel to Malaysia once the crisis
ends.
Mr Hafiz Hashim, Director of Tourism Malaysia
- Mumbai Office said, the other focal point is the much-anticipated opening of
the outdoor theme park in Genting Highland in the second quarter of 2021. The
official opening of this ‘Genting Skyworlds’ is music to travellers’ ears and
the travel industry alike.
Meanwhile, Mr Razaidi Rahim, Director of
Tourism Malaysia - Chennai Office said, Malaysia is also committed to brand itself
as an ecotourism destination, with an outlook towards balancing the development
and conservation of its natural environment & heritage.
India remains one of the top market sources
for Malaysia and contributed 735,309 international tourist arrivals in 2019.
The first two months of 2020 recorded a phenomenal cumulative growth of +29%.
However, the spread of the coronavirus globally led the countries to close
their borders and cancelling most flights.
