KLIA, 29 October 2021: Malaysia Airlines celebrated its inaugural Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTL) flight between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore with a send-off and welcome event held at KL International Airport (KLIA), today.
Secretary General of Ministry of Transport Malaysia, Datuk Isham Ishak and delegates from the ministry were amongst the passengers who flew on the VTL flight MH603. Passengers were treated to specially made Malaysian and Singapore flags cookies at the boarding lounge in KLIA before their flight. Meanwhile, passengers arriving from Singapore via MH606 also received special goodies from Malaysia Airlines upon arrival in KLIA.
Malaysia Airlines Group Chief Operations Officer, Ahmad Luqman, who was present in KLIA to meet and greet the passengers, said, “Today marks a special day for all of us, as we commence our inaugural VTL to facilitate safe and seamless travels between the KLIA and Changi Airport. This is a testament to what synergistic and concerted efforts can do for the greater good of all. We thank our government, the Ministry of Transport, and various stakeholders for bringing this dedicated VTL to fruition.
We recorded healthy forward booking in the coming weeks for these sectors. It is truly exciting to see KLIA steadily bustling again after a quiet period for more than a year since the pandemic started.
Passengers will enjoy their travel with peace of mind as Malaysia Airlines’ pilot and cabin crew serving the flight are fully vaccinated. Our aircraft are also equipped with HEPA filters to ensure an effectiveair circulation system capable of filtering out 99.7 per cent of microorganisms onboard. On top of that, passengers will also be given a complimentary hygiene kit that comes with a non-surgical face mask, hand sanitiser and sanitary wipes, all hygienically packed in a sealed zip-lock pouch!”
The once daily service will be operated by the A330-300 via MH603/606 with 290 seats, comprising 27 seats in Business Class and 247 seats in Economy Class.

SHAH ALAM: The government will scrutinise its decision whether to tighten border controls, including on the entry of foreign tourists under the tourism bubble.
Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin said several preventive measures and solutions are being considered, following concerns over the spread of the new Covid-19 variant; Omicron.
He stressed that the government will also refine the current standard operating procedures (SOP), especially with quarantine guidelines involving tourists from high-risk countries.
I will discuss the matter with DG (Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah). There are several options for us to consider including tightening national border controls.
"So far, there is no decision yet. Let us discuss first, and not only on the tourism bubble in Langkawi, but also the quarantine procedures.
"We have to scrutinise quarantine procedures, whether in hotels or at homes, especially involving countries categorised as high risk," he told a press conference after the National Institute of Health (NIH)-Health Ministry Covid-19 Frontliners Appreciation Ceremony here today.
Present were Dr Noor Hisham and deputy health director-general (Research and Technical Support) Datuk Dr Hishamshah Mohd Ibrahim.
Khairy said negotiations on Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTLs) with several countries such as Thailand, Brunei and Indonesia would continue.
"But, it will include the implementation of appropriate preventive measures due to the risk of transmission of other variants."
Asked whether a Movement Control Order (MCO) would be implemented, should Omicron being detected in Malaysia, he said; "It is too early to mention about MCO. The people will be angry because there are many things that we do not know yet."

Singapore and
Malaysia will launch a land vaccinated travel lane (VTL) across the Causeway
from next Monday (November 29).
The land VTL will
be rolled out “in a safe and calibrated manner”, said Singapore’s Prime
Minister’s Office (PMO) on Wednesday.
In the first phase,
travellers will have to use designated VTL buses. The scheme will be open to
citizens, permanent residents or long-term pass holders of the country that
they are entering. This is to give priority for those who have been working in
either country to visit their families, said PMO.
Singapore prime
minister, Lee Hsien Loong, said: “Malaysia is Singapore’s closest neighbour and
the two countries share deep and warm relations. The Causeway was one of the
busiest land borders in the world before the Covid-19 pandemic disrupted our
cross-border activities. The launch of the VTL (Land) is a big step towards
reconnecting our people and economies, and will further enhance our bilateral
relationship.”
PMO said that the
land VTL will be progressively expanded to include more travellers, including
general travellers, depending on the public health situation in both countries.
Singapore and Malaysia will also work towards restoring quarantine-free travel
between the two countries through Tuas Second Link.
This latest
development follows the announcement of the VTL between Changi Airport and
Kuala Lumpur International Airport, also to launch on November 29.
Kuala Lumpur, 24th November 2021 – Express Rail Link Sdn Bhd (ERL) with support from the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture Malaysia (MOTAC), will be launching a special RM1 Joyride Weekend on 27th and 28th of November to further boost local leisure travel.

We are very happy to see ERL’s initiatives in organising this Joyride event that brings together various partners in support of the national recovery,” said Yang Berhormat Dato’ Sri Hajah Nancy Shukri.
Noormah Mohd Noor, Chief Executive of ERL said, “ERL is very delighted to be able to play our part in supporting the government’s initiative in reviving the industry.

The global pandemic has confronted the tourism sector with an unprecedented challenge. With tourism being the third largest contributor to Malaysia’s gross domestic product, the impact of the virus has been far-reaching and continues to ripple throughout the economy as more and more hotels can’t help but shutter.
Recently, Malaysia has resumed domestic travel via a travel bubble involving Langkawi on September 16, reopened more tourist destinations to local travellers and lifted its inter-state travel ban once at least 90 per cent of its adult population are vaccinated against Covid-19. However, some of the local travellers still doubt the safety of travel domestically.
Cuti-Cuti Malaysia with Confidence (CMC) Virtual Conference and Exhibition - Experience Malaysia Under the New Travel Normal is an event that initiative by a group of tourism and event students from BERJAYA University College (BUC) in collaboration with Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA) Malaysia Chapter (PMC) with the core objective of restoring and boosting confidence of Malaysians to travel domestically.
The CMC Virtual Conference and Exhibition to be scheduled on 27-28 November 2021 (Saturday and Sunday), 1100 hours – 1800 hours at 3D virtual platform.

KOTA KINABALU: Sabah Tourism Board hopes to build a network and capture the interest of international travellers following its participation in the Expo 2020 Dubai next month.
Sabah Tourism, Culture and Environment Minister Datuk Jafry Ariffin said the focus would be the Middle East and emerging markets such as India and Turkey.
"The Expo 2020 Dubai is an excellent avenue for Sabah to market our destination globally. It is said to be among the first major global business events to open for visitors to be present physically, since the pandemic.
"As our country moves forward, my ministry has started our aggressive recovery efforts in preparation to welcome back international visitors while we anticipate our international border to reopen for leisure visitors.
"Sabah Tourism Board attended and participated in a major tourism event, the World Travel Market at London earlier this month. This is our effort to restore the confidence of our UK and Europe market segment. I am determined that the Expo 2020 Dubai will further amplify our global marketing efforts," he said in a statement.
Malaysia's participation in Expo 2020 Dubai is spearheaded by the Science, Technology and Innovation Ministry with the Malaysian Green Technology and Climate Change Corporation as an implementing agency.
Sabah Tourism Board and the state Economic Planning Unit will be the lead agencies representing the state government at the expo between Dec 20 until 24.
Joining the Sabah tourism team are representatives from the Malaysian Association of Hotels (MAH) Sabah Chapter, Sabah Association of Tour and Travel Agents (SATTA) and Fun Holidays Sdn Bhd.
Aside from business meetings, Sabah Tourism delegation is expected to showcase the destination through a series of tourism presentations at the Amphitheatre Malaysia Pavilion.
As a recent member of the global community - Hybrid City Alliance, Jafry said the state was also strengthening its position in the business events industry by offering matching prospects and bidding facilities in Sabah during the fifth day of Sabah Week.
Sabah Tourism Board welcomes any interested parties to set appointment meetings with the agency at Expo 2020 Dubai. The appointment can be scheduled by registering your interest at expo2020dubai.sabahtourism.com

BERA: Traditional games and "sukan rakyat" (people sports) need to be consistently promoted to ensure they remain relevant, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.
He said games and sports have the potential to emerge as tourist attractions in certain locations and should be preserved as a cultural heritage.
"The young appear to forget traditional games and people sports which were once played extensively at certain places. Providing financial assistance and proper facilities will make it easier for Motac (Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture) to promote these activities.
"The efforts include organising more programmes at district-levels and this should not only involve the official events organised by the ministry. Instead, the local authorities at district levels should promote it as a weekly event," he told reporters during a press conference after opening the Keluarga Malaysia Hogoh Bera 2021 community programme at Felda Kumai in Triang near here today.
On the budget to organise such programmes, Ismail Sabri said he had asked Motac to discuss with the Finance Minister (Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz) on the expenditures needed to organise such activities.
Meanwhile, Ismail Sabri, who is the Bera member of parliament, said traditional games and people sports can be promoted extensively by ensuring proper or systematic planning.
"Once the activities (traditional games and people sports) are regularly held at a fixed location then it will be able to attract more visitors including domestic tourists. For example, traditional games like galah panjang can be held at a specific site during weekends.
"Besides the games and sports, cultural performance have to be regularly organised so visitors will be able to learn about local cultures. For example in Bera, the Sewang dance (traditional Orang Asli dance) can be organised every week at Laman Kerayong so visitors who want to learn more about the Orang Asli culture can go there," he said, adding cultural organisations can participate by organising the shows.
He said actively promoting traditional games and people sports will serve as a crowd puller at a certain location which will help boost tourism activities.
On the two-day Keluarga Malaysia Hogoh Bera 2021 community programme here. Ismail Sabri said besides promoting the popular cultural performance, games and people sports, the event also helped to promote top tourist destinations here including Tasik Bera.
In his speech earlier, he said homestay operators can organise cultural performances when visitors book to stay at their respective premises.
"There must be added-value and this has to be done consistently. Besides promoting local food, operators can also organise cultural shows or traditional games..... I am sure it will serve as an attraction," he said
Also present were Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri and Pahang Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail.

Langkawi reopened its borders to foreigners on Monday under pilot project; Langkawi Sky Bridge pictured
Malaysia’s tourism
recovery has been primarily driven by domestic leisure travel, and while the
country is taking gradual steps to reopen its international border, major
industry players say the domestic market will continue to be a linchpin in the
road to recovery for the foreseeable future.
On November 15,
Langkawi began welcoming foreign tourists back in a test case for Malaysia
which plans to fully reopen its borders by January 1, 2022.
Despite the
reopening timeline set by the government, it will take time for the
international market to return, said Mushafiz Mustafa Bakri, CEO, Malindo
Airways, at the World Islamic Tourism Conference on Monday (November 15). For
the short term, the airline’s focus will be on growing capacity on the domestic
segment, he said.
He added the
airline is seeing demand for non-traditional tourist destinations such as
Terengganu, Johor Bahru, Alor Setar and Ipoh, as domestic tourists look for new
attractions and places to visit.
Yap Lip Seng, CEO,
Malaysia Association of Hotels, shared that the international market will
reopen in stages and recovery will take time. “We need to be prepared (for) a
certain percentage of international (tourists) coming back, and still maintain
domestic as our focus for the next year or so,” he said.
He stressed on the
need to take care of the domestic market as that is what pays the salaries of
employees in the hospitality sector.
When asked what
surprised the industry about the domestic tourism market this year, Yap shared
the assumption that domestic tourists are price-sensitive is not always true,
and that some of them look for value.
This fresh insight
will help the hotel industry in its future planning. He shared: “If hotels were
to do their part and provide more value-adds into the room rates, then it could
actually attract (guests) and bring up the average room rate in Malaysia, which
is one of the lowest in the world.”
Both Yap and
Mushafiz were panellists in a session on Domestic Tourism Revival for the
Muslim Market, which looked at the performance of the domestic tourism market
in Malaysia during the pandemic and projections on how it would fare with the
return of international business.
Tourism players in
Langkawi whom TTG Asia spoke to also concurred that the
domestic segment will remain their main source of revenue for at least another
year, even as they continue to market their products and services to the
international market.
Mega Water Sports
& Holidays director of sales and marketing, Sharmini Violet, opined that
while Langkawi has rolled out the red carpet to tourists from around the world,
there are still hurdles such as travel restrictions in many countries and
generally higher airfares.
She said: “It is
still (in the) early days (for travel recovery) and I think it will take at
least a year before the international market normalises, provided the pandemic
ends soon and the virus is contained.
“Our focus for the
time being is on the domestic market. At the same time, we have already started
regional and international marketing efforts through virtual B2B meetings
organised by Tourism Malaysia.”
Sharmini shared
that she noticed a trend of middle-income and upper-middle-income families who
used to vacation overseas who were now choosing Langkawi as their holiday
destination during the pandemic. “This is a market we want to further tap
into,” she said.
Anthony Wong,
managing director of Cottage by the Sea by Frangipani Langkawi, also estimated
that it would take about a year for inbound travel to Langkawi to pick up. In
the meantime, the resort is depending mainly on the domestic market to cover
operating costs, he said.
He also shared that
the island has to address the shortage of manpower as it prepares for the
return of the international market. He elaborated: “Locals view a career in the
hospitality and service industry as risky due to the frequent lockdowns.
Foreign manpower is also hard to get.”
