Turkiye, Uzbekistan dan Kazakhstan.

PETALING JAYA: Tourism Selangor, sebuah Agensi Promosi Pelancongan Rasmi Negeri Selangor, telah menyertai siri lawatan ke Moscow, Tashkent, Almaty dan Istanbul bagi menyokong Tourism Malaysia.

Matlamatnya untuk menarik lebih ramai pelancong dari Rusia dan Turkiye sambil mengekalkan hubungan dua hala.

Lawatan tersebut berlangsung selama sepuluh hari, dari 11 September hingga 20 September 2022.

Misi ini diketuai  Exco Pelancongan dan Alam Sekitar Selangor, Hee Loy Sian dan dibantu Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Tourism Selangor, Azrul Shah Mohamad.

Misi ini mempamerkan pelbagai segmen pasaran di Selangor sambil mempromosikan Kempen “Splendid Selangor, Take Me Anywhere!”

Sehingga tahun 2021, terdapat peningkatan sebanyak 13 peratus (231,914) pelancong dari negara Eropah yang melawat Selangor berbanding tahun sebelumnya semasa sekatan perjalanan antarabangsa.

Oleh itu, ini merupakan masa yang sesuai bagi negeri  Selangor untuk meneruskan pertumbuhan pra-pandemiknya, terutamanya bagi pengembara antarabangsa, setelah larangan perjalanan telah ditarik kembali.

Menurut Loy Sian, , kempen Splendid Selangor merupakan satu usaha penting dan titik perubahan bagi meningkatkan kerjasama antara negara-negara yang berminat.

Katanya, kerjasama tersebut akan melibatkan perkongsian prospektif melalui perjalanan FAM bersama media dan agensi pelancongan, siri promosi silang termasuk pengiklanan dan kempen digital, siri jelajah serta sales mission.

“Segmentasi di negeri Selangor menyediakan pelbagai tarikan pelancongan, daripada eko-pelancongan, taman tema, budaya dan warisan serta pengalaman membeli-belah dan rekreasi.

“Ini termasuk taman tema Sunway Lagoon, Taman Kelip-kelip di Kampung Kuantan, Perkampungan Budaya Mah Meri serta kawasan peranginan di Avani Sepang Gold Coast,” katanya.

Melalui jelajah Truly Malaysia di Moscow, delegasi  Tourism Selangor telah bertemu dengan beberapa agensi pelancongan.

Pemain utama seperti Evren SATIR, Ozan Ates, dan Gokhan Ustunday turut terlibat semasa misi tersebut. Beberapa syarikat pelancongan kini sedang mengatur perjalanan mereka ke Malaysia melalui Turkish Airlines, Emirates, Qatar Airways dan Etihad Airways sebagai penerbangan sambungan.

“Sebelum ini, pelancong dari Rusia telah menggunakan khidmat penerbangan dari Singapura ke Malaysia. Hasil daripada misi pada kali ini, kami bersedia untuk mengambil penerbangan tidak berjadual dari negara Rusia ke Malaysia melalui negeri Selangor dan kami tidak sabar untuk menarik lebih ramai warga Rusia ke negeri ini,” kata Loy Sian.

Beliau berkata, Tourism Selangor bersedia untuk memanfaatkan perkongsian meluas bersama pengusaha pelancongan dan pemain industri sambil meningkatkan kesedarannya bagi mencapai misi dalam menjadikan Selangor sebagai destinasi pelancongan terkemuka di Asia Tenggara dan di seluruh dunia.

Industri pelancongan negara dalam ‘suasana’ pemulihan

 

PELANCONG asing, Nicola Brookes (kanan) dari England bersama rakannya, Rebecca DuFauly dari Amerika Syarikat tertarik melihat wau tradisional Malaysia yang dijual di Pasar Seni Kuala Lumpur.
- UTUSAN/FAUZI BAHARUDIN

KUALA LUMPUR: Sektor pelancongan negara ketika ini masih berada dalam ‘perjalanan’ untuk pulih dengan kemasukan pelancong luar berada sekitar 30 ke 40 peratus.

Peningkatan itu dilihat selepas negara melalui fasa peralihan endemik tahun ini.

Pelancong tersebut datang dari Singapura, Indonesia, Thailand, United Kingdom, Austra­lia, Korea Selatan dan India.

Presiden Persatuan Ejen Pelancongan dan Pengembaraan Malaysia (MATTA), Datuk Tan Kok Liang berkata, kemasukan pelancong luar banyak memberi sumba­ngan kepada negara ini menghidupkan industri pelancongan antarabangsa.

Walau bagaimanapun kata beliau, masih terlalu awal menga­takan industri pelanco­ngan kembali sihat selepas menerima tamparan kuat daripada Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan (PKP) sejak dua tahun lalu.

“Macam mana industri pelancongan boleh pulih kalau kemasukan pelancong luar adalah sekitar 30 ke 40 pe­ratus? Industri kita masih berada dalam perjalanan untuk pulih.

“Saya harap dalam 2024 industri pelancongan pulih, saya juga berharap dalam pembentangan Bajet 2023 ini kerajaan akan memberi lebih banyak insentif dan subsidi untuk menolong industri pulih,” katanya ketika dihubungi Utusan Malaysia.

Sebelum ini akhbar melaporkan, industri pelancongan di negara ini terpaksa menanggung kerugian lebih RM200 juta jika sempadan negara tidak dibuka pada April lalu.

Kok Liang berkata, bagi penduduk tempatan pula, mereka gemar bercuti jangka pendek ke destinasi di Semenanjung.

Jelasnya, antara tempat menjadi tumpuan pelancongan domestik adalah Pulau Pinang, Genting Highland dan Melaka.

Peralihan Sistem Pelesenan Industri Pelancongan (SPIP) Kepada Tourism Licensing And Enforcement System (TOURLIST)

 

19 September 2022 - Kementerian Pelancongan, Seni dan Budaya (MOTAC) akan melancarkan Sistem Pelesenan & Penguatkuasaan Pelancongan atau Tourism Licensing and Enforcement System (TOURLIST) yang bakal menggantikan Sistem Pelesenan Industri Pelancongan (SPIP) bermula 1 November 2022.

Inisiatif projek pembangunan Sistem TOURLIST ini adalah bertepatan dengan landskap industri pelancongan negara yang terus berkembang dan berubah seiring dengan perkembangan teknologi digital seperti data raya, business intelligent dan pelbagai inovasi pintar yang lain.

Dalam merealisasi agenda ini, MOTAC akan menutup Sistem SPIP sedia ada bermula 1 Oktober 2022 untuk memberi laluan kepada fasa deployment sistem TOURLIST yang dijangka Go-Live pada 1 November 2022. Selaras dengan penutupan ini, urusan pelesenan industri pelancongan akan beroperasi seperti berikut:

i. Tarikh akhir semua permohonan lesen di SPIP seperti Lesen TOBTAB, Institut Latihan Pelancongan, Pemandu Pelancong, Bas Persiaran dan Kereta Sewa Pandu (Sabah, Sarawak dan Labuan) dan permohonan Pendaftaran Premis Penginapan Pelancongan adalah pada 30 September 2022;

ii. Semua data permohonan yang berjaya diproses dan dilulus melalui Sistem SPIP akan dimigrasi ke Sistem TOURLIST dan semakan kelulusan boleh dibuat di Sistem TOURLIST.

iii. Bagi permohonan yang tidak berjaya atau tidak lengkap diproses tidak akan dimigrasi ke sistem TOURLIST, walau bagaimanapun, permohonan yang tidak lengkap diproses boleh membuat permohonan semula di sistem TOURLIST dan layak memohon tuntutan semula (refund) bayaran fi proses yang telah dibuat di SPIP;

iv. Bahagian Pelesenan dan Penguatkuasaan Pelancongan (BPPP), MOTAC akan mengadakan satu aktiviti pilot Pra-TOURLIST Go-Live pada 27-30 Oktober 2022 secara atas talian yang turut melibatkan penggiat industri yang terpilih bagi merekod dan mengenalpasti kelancaran dan ruang penambahbaikan Sistem TOURLIST sebelum Go-Live; dan

v. Dalam tempoh penutupan SPIP ini, pemohon juga masih boleh mengemukakan pemohonan secara manual di kaunter BPPP, MOTAC dan Pejabat MOTAC Negeri dengan mengemukakan borang permohonan fizikal yang boleh didapati di www.motac.gov.my bermula pada 1 Oktober 2022.

MOTAC sentiasa menyokong proses pendokumentasian dan pembudayaan kerja secara dalam talian yang dilihat sebagai sebahagian usaha-usaha transformasi cara kerja secara manual kepada bentuk digital. Pengadaptasian teknologi ini menyumbang kepada peningkatan kualiti penyampaian, menjamin kelestarian ekosistem serta memperluaskan kebolehcapaian kepada produk serta perkhidmatan pelancongan dan kebudayaan.

Johor yakin terajui sektor pelancongan negara

 

SUHAIRI HASHIM (berdiri tiga kanan) mengiringi Menteri Besar, Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi pada majlis perasmian FMJ 2022 di Puteri Harbour, Iskandar Puteri, baru-baru ini.

JOHOR BAHRU: Johor yakin akan terus menjadi destinasi pelancong utama negara pada fasa endemik, khususnya selepas berjaya merekodkan jumlah pelancong domestik paling ramai pada tahun 2021.

Pengarah Tourism Johor, Suhairi Hashim berkata, pihaknya komited mengekalkan rekod positif itu dalam menarik kehadiran lebih ramai pelancong domestik dan antarabangsa.

“Kami mahu mengekalkan kedudukan nombor satu sebagai merekodkan jumlah pelancong domestik tertinggi dalam kalangan negeri lain di Malaysia,” katanya di sini.

Berdasarkan Jabatan Pera­ngkaan Malaysia, Johor mencatatkan ketibaan seramai 1.8 juta pelancong domestik tahun lepas, meletakkannya pada kedudukan teratas dalam negara, diikuti Perak dengan 1.4 juta pelancong domestik manakala tempat ketiga, Pahang (1.3 juta); Negeri Sembilan (1.2 juta) dan Selangor (1.2 juta).

“Kerajaan negeri menerusi Tourism Johor mendapat kerjasama baik daripada semua pihak berkepentingan yang mahu melihat industri pelancongan kita kembali rancak se­perti sebelum wabak itu.

“Walau bagaimanapun, kesan Covid-19 masih dapat dilihat dengan banyak lot kedai di dalam beberapa pusat beli-belah di sekitar bandar raya Johor Bahru, khususnya masih kosong.

“Semoga dengan pulihnya sektor ekonomi negara, lot-lot kedai kosong ini dapat kembali disewa, sekali gus menarik kehadiran lebih ramai pelancong untuk membeli-belah di negeri ini,” katanya.

Menurutnya, penganjuran acara berskala besar seperti Festival Majestic Johor 2022 mampu mengukuhkan lagi kedudukan negeri ini sebagai peneraju destinasi pelancongan dalam negara.

“Festival yang bermula sejak 8 hingga 18 September itu mempamerkan pelbagai produk pelancongan Johor n Singapura juga merupakan satu kelebihan kerana membantu menarik lebih ramai pelancong dari republik berkenaan. “Singapura mempunyai ruang yang terhad dan kebanyakan pelancong asing kita limpahan dari seberang,’’ ujarnya.

Truly Malaysia Roadshow To Moscow, Tashkent, Almaty & Istanbul Reconnect Tourists To Malaysia

 

MOSCOW, 14 September 2022 – Tourism Malaysia through its overseas offices in Russia, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, and Turkey is organising a Truly Malaysia Roadshow, taking place from 12th to 20th September 2022. The roadshow begins in Moscow, followed by Tashkent, Almaty, and Istanbul.

Led by Mr. Iskandar Mirza Mohd Yusof, Acting Deputy Director General (Planning) of Tourism Malaysia, the Malaysian delegation consists of travel operators, hoteliers, state tourism bodies, and educational tourism industry players. The roadshow provides a platform for both Malaysian sellers and local buyers to participate in business-to- business (B2B) sessions and product presentations to revive, reconnect and create new partnerships in enhancing opportunities to boost tourist arrivals to Malaysia.

“One of the biggest draws is Malaysia's racial and cultural diversity, resulting in a mixed yet harmonious legacy that manifests itself in our festivals, architecture, clothing, language, cuisine, and other aspects of daily life,” said Mr. Iskandar Mirza, during the first session in Moscow.

“While the past two years have been tremendously challenging for us, we are glad to share that Malaysia has surpassed our initial target of 2 million international tourist arrivals since the reopening of our international borders. We have since revised our target of welcoming 9.2 million international tourist arrivals with RM 26.8 billion in tourism receipts for this year,” he added.

Malaysia has relaxed the entry procedures for fully-vaccinated travellers without requirements to undergo quarantine or pre-departure and on-arrival COVID-19 tests. Travel insurance is also not a prerequisite for foreigners entering Malaysia, and inbound travellers no longer need to fill in the Traveler’s Card on the country’s contact tracing app, MySejahtera.

MELAKA: Lapangan Terbang Antarabangsa Melaka (LTAM) di Batu Berendam di sini mula menerima kehadiran pelancong domestik dan antarabangsa selepas ditutup hampir tiga tahun akibat penularan Covid-19.

Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Pelancongan, Warisan dan Kebudayaan negeri, Datuk Muhammad Jailani Khamis berkata, kerajaan negeri telah berbincang dengan pelbagai pihak di peringkat Persekutuan dan antarabangsa bagi memastikan LTAM beroperasi semula.

Menurut beliau, pembukaan itu dianggap penting bagi menerima lebih ramai kehadiran pelawat sekaligus merancakkan semula sektor pelancongan Melaka.

“Hari ini merupakan hari pertama LTAM beroperasi dengan menerima penerbangan domestik dan antarabangsa oleh Batik Air. Ia adalah hasil perancangan dua negara dan kerjasama ini memakan masa empat bulan untuk direalisasikan.

“Batik Air memperkenalkan laluan penerbangan dari atau ke Pulau Pinang dan Pekanbaru di Indonesia melalui LTAM setiap hari. Ini merupakan berita baik kepada rakyat Melaka, Johor dan Negeri Sembilan untuk menggunakan perkhidmatan berkenaan,” katanya dalam sidang akhbar Sambutan Penerbangan Pertama Batik Air ke Melaka di sini, hari ini.

Terdahulu, pesawat Batik Air yang membawa 38 penumpang dari Pulau Pinang menjadi penerbangan pertama mendarat di LTAM pada pukul 11.30 pagi sebelum meneruskan perjalanan ke Pekanbaru dengan membawa 50 penumpang termasuk Muhammad Jailani.

Tambah Muhammad Jailani, Melaka akan meneroka pasaran baharu membabitkan pelancong dari India dan Brunei.

Jelasnya, pasaran baharu itu penting bagi mengurangkan  kebergantungan terhadap pelawat dari Asia Timur seperti China, Taiwan dan Jepun.

“Melaka merekodkan kehadiran pelancong seramai 2.48 juta orang setakat Jun lepas iaitu peningkatan sebanyak 234 peratus berbanding tempoh sama tahun lalu,” jelasnya.

KOTA KINABALU: Sri Pelancongan Sabah and Tourplus have inked a service agreement to develop a smartphone application known as Hello Sabah to serve as a digital platform for the state tourism industry.

Sri Pelancongan Sabah general manager Zachary Mobijohn and TourPlus Technology founder-cum-chief executive officer Rickson Goh signed the agreement at a hotel here.

The partnership will allow Hello Sabah to digitise the state tourism business, allowing local product owners and industry players from the public as well as private sectors to market their goods and services.

It features an online booking platform for rural tourism and community-based tourism, among others.

Zachary said Sri Pelancongan Sabah, a subsidiary of Sabah Tourism Board, played a role as a strategic partner in the development of the application that was set to promote Sabah's tourism industry by utilising Tourplus' advanced technology.

He said that the application aimed to register up to 100,000 merchants on the mobile application as its ultimate target.

"Merchants who are interested to be featured on this platform must pay a listing fee of RM300.

"However, in order to entice more merchants to take advantage of this platform, we will be waiving this listing fee to all merchants who sign up in 2022.

"On top of that, we will only be charging a minimum payment gateway fee of 2.12 per cent for the first 100 transactions. Normal commission rates will apply thereafter," added Zachary.

Sabah Assistant Tourism, Culture and Environment Minister Datuk Joniston Bangkuai who witnessed the event said the Sabah Tourism Board would monitor the progress and success of the mobile application in achieving its purpose, including the promotion of rural tourism.

"The rural tourism sector has been through a lot of ups and downs since 2014 to get to where it is today, with some community-based tourism operators earning Asean and global standard recognition.

"We aspire to make our rural areas into world-class rural tourism destinations by 2030.

"To do so, we need to be able to provide a digital platform to present our rich culture, traditions, food, handicraft, and local community way of life to the world," he said.

Hybrid Seminar On Malaysia As A Muslim-Friendly Travel Destination, Preferred Medical Tourism Hub & My Second Home

 

TAIPEI, 7 September 2022 – The Malaysian Friendship and Trade Centre in Taipei together with Tourism Malaysia Taipei Office organised a hybrid seminar on three tourism-related topics targeted at the tourism industry players in Taiwan.

Held at The Howard Plaza Hotel Taipei on 7th September 2022, the seminar focused on promoting a better understanding of what Malaysia has to offer to the Taiwanese. Apart from being the top Muslim-friendly travel destination, Malaysia is also known for its medical tourism and its special Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) programme.

Ms. Sharon Ho, President of the Malaysian Friendship and Trade Centre together with Mr. David Tsao E-Shu, Deputy Director of the International Affairs Division of Taiwan Tourism Bureau attended the seminar and delivered their welcome remarks for the opening session.

Mr. Fitra Mohd Ali, Director (Covering) of Industry Development from Islamic Tourism Centre (ITC), was the first speaker on the topic: Malaysia as a Muslim-Friendly Travel Destination. He addressed that Malaysia was chosen as one of the top travel destinations for Muslim travellers by Mastercard-CrescentRating Global Muslim Travel (GMTI) 2022’s report, closely followed by Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Indonesia in joint 2nd position. Malaysia remained the top-ranked destination in the GMTI as it had been since the launch of the index in 2015. In 2019, Malaysia received 5.32 million arrivals of Muslim tourists with receipts of up to RM16.72 billion.

Malaysia possesses all the necessary components as a Muslim tourist destination with an abundance of halal food, prayer and washing facilities, family-friendly entertainment, and Muslim-friendly services together with Islamic attractions and tourism products. These features not only cater to the demands of Muslim visitors but also allow non-Muslim visitors to enjoy Malaysia's charms.

Over the years, there have been many ongoing collaborations and initiatives between ITC and industry players, including research, seminars, workshops, and industry development programmes, to build Malaysia's reputation in the global Islamic tourism industry.

The second topic was covered by Ms. Alice Ong, Director of North Asia Markets from Malaysia Healthcare Travel Council (MHTC) with the title: Forging Resilience for Malaysia’s Medical Tourism Especially for Post COVID-19 Economy Recovery. She stated that MHTC as an agency under the Ministry of Health in Malaysia was established to promote the Malaysian medical tourism sector by organising industry cooperation and establishing fruitful domestic and international public-private partnerships. In 2019, Malaysia received 1.22 million arrivals for healthcare travellers with RM1.7 billion in revenue.

Malaysia has won numerous awards for "Medical Travel Destination of the Year," which is acknowledged as Asia's centre for fertility and cardiology and is now referred to as the "Miracle of World Healthcare."

The final speaker was Peter Peng, Chief Operating Officer of Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) discussing the topic: Malaysia is a Perfect Country Not Only for Holiday, But Also Suitable for Other Business Purposes. He stated that the Malaysian government-sponsored scheme primarily enables foreigners who satisfy specific requirements to extend their stay in Malaysia with multiple-entry visas. No matter their race, religion, gender or age, residents of all nations recognised by Malaysia are eligible for the programme and participants are allowed to bring their spouses and unmarried children under the age of 21 as dependents.

Malaysia, as a multiracial and multilingual country, offers an abundance of family-friendly amenities for parents and kids including theme parks, jungle trails, sports, water sports, and international-standard golf courses. Besides that, Malaysia is also known for its shopping experience, from high-end couture to ethnic handicrafts and the internationally-acclaimed pewter ware. In addition, Malaysia offers affordable access to the best healthcare and top-notch education for international tourists and students. Until 2019, the total number of approved participants for MM2H programs is 48,471.

The first aviation-themed lifestyle hub in Malaysia will feature a man-made beach and lagoon pool

Malaysia-based investment holding company Tiong Nam Group has unveiled plans for the first aviation-themed lifestyle hub in Malaysia, slated for completion in 4Q2023.

Located in Kempas, Johor Bahru, the hub will occupy over 19,000m² of the integrated township and feature the 1975 Avenue & Hotel.

Offering 38 keys, the all-suite cockpits and cabins will feature a 70s vintage, aviation-themed interior. Surrounding the hotel is a six-hectare project incorporating two redesigned Boeing 747s, as well as a man-made beach and the lagoon pool that weaves through the entire development.

F&B options will range from casual dining like cafés, bistros, buffet and family-friendly restaurants to pop-ups, international gourmet dining and themed dining. Other entertainment and activities will be revealed at a later date.

The hotel also features indoor and outdoor event spaces that are ideal for corporate travellers and event planners, as well as for social events.

Kenneth Perreau, general manager of 1975 Avenue & Hotel, is confident that the hotel will be able to “operate at a healthy occupancy in the first year of the hotel’s opening taking into consideration the integration, the connectivity, the market size and the authenticity of the extravagance experience we are offering”.

Tourism Malaysia Signs MOC With Qatar Airways To Strengthen Strategic Cooperation

 

KUALA LUMPUR, 1 September 2022 – Tourism Malaysia has signed a Memorandum of Collaboration (MOC) with Qatar Airways today at Grand Millennium Hotel, Kuala Lumpur with the primary objectives to extend the networking and strengthen strategic cooperation between the two parties.

This new chapter sees Tourism Malaysia working together with Qatar Airways, the world's leading airline, to boost arrival from Qatar via Qatar Airways' broad network to Malaysia. Through this MOC, the cooperation will aim to further strengthen Malaysia’s appeal as a preferred travel destination among travellers in the Middle East, Europe and the United States of America.

YB Dato’ Sri Hajah Nancy Shukri, Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture said: “With the reopening of international borders and an increase in the demand for air travel, we believe the strategic cooperation will increase the awareness of our attractions and more initiatives will take place to help to boost tourist arrivals to Malaysia. As we continue to navigate recovery from the pandemic, this MOC works as a platform to increase the choice of flights, wider destinations, and greater flexibility on top of the excellent service hospitality offered by Qatar Airways”.

His Excellency Mr. Akbar Al Baker, Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive said: “We are delighted to be working closely with Tourism Malaysia to further support tourism growth in the popular Southeast Asian country. As an airline, we are moulded strongly by tourism and we will remain committed to playing our role in supporting Tourism Malaysia through this collaboration. With international borders now open and travel demand returning, Qatar Airways also looks forward to connecting more travellers to Malaysia and the world.”

The collaboration between Tourism Malaysia and Qatar Airways will leverage each other’s strengths and provide more unrivalled services and seamless connections. More joint activities are mapped out through familiarisation trips to Malaysia, marketing promotional activities and advertising campaigns to feature Malaysia as a preferred holiday destination.

This strong partnership will provide better efficiencies and a more comprehensive network to promote Malaysia’s tourism offerings and highlight the new and exclusive attractions. On top of that, it is a timely move to pave the way toward the recovery of Malaysia’s tourism industry internationally.
