“It’s not only the industry here that will welcome the passport, as many other countries would be boosted by it too.
“People would be able travel safely and confidently. There are so many who are eager to travel again, whether it is abroad or locally.
“The tourism industry is currently in an ‘intensive care unit’ and badly requires help.
“Tourism also affects the transportation, accommodation and retail sectors, ” he said.
