DUBAI, 12 October 2021 –
Tourism Malaysia is participating for the third time at the third edition of
the Gulf Travel Show (GTS) from 12 to 14 October 2021. As a platinum partner,
Malaysia is having its own virtual pavilion with 13 booths consisting of
Tourism Malaysia Dubai, Tourism Malaysia Jeddah, Langkawi Development Authority
(LADA), Malaysia Healthcare Travel Council (MHTC), together with three (3)
Destination Management Companies (DMC)/ tour operator partners, one product
partner, as well as five hotels and resorts from the island of Langkawi.
Following this year’s participation, Mr Manoharan Periasamy, the
Senior Director of Tourism Malaysia’s International Promotion Division for Asia
& Africa says that GTS 2021 is a platform that allows industry players to
share the development and implementation of safety for domestic and
international travellers in preparation for reopening the borders, especially
for the Middle East market.
“Malaysia has successfully completed the vaccination of more
than 90 per cent of its adult population against COVID-19, and as a result,
domestic tourism has fully reopened effective Monday, 11 October 2021. In the
meantime, Tourism Malaysia is gearing up in preparing to welcome more tourists
and also continuing in promoting the #WeMissYou campaign
ahead of the reopening of our international borders that is expected after we
achieve 90 per cent complete inoculation nationwide,” says Mr Manoharan.
Mr Nasaruddin Bin Abdul Muttalib, the Chief Executive Officer of
LADA also shares, “On 16 September 2021, the government has announced the
reopening of Langkawi as the pilot project for Malaysia’s domestic travel
bubble, aimed at reviving the nation’s tourism industry. Langkawi has become
the first holiday destination in Malaysia to open its doors to domestic tourists
who are fully vaccinated. The visitors are also subject to the standard
operating procedures (SOP) compliance and are required to go through COVID-19
screening tests before entering Langkawi.”
