PETALING JAYA: The shorter Covid-19 quarantine period will be a sandbox for preparing Malaysia when it finally reopens its borders, say tourism industry players.
Malaysian Association of Tour and Travel Agents (MATTA) president Datuk Tan Kok Liang said shortening the quarantine period was a good move.
“Moving forward, it is positive news for domestic tourism, ” he said, referring to the movement of local tourists between the peninsula, Sabah and Sarawak.
Tan added that the new quarantine policy would also encourage foreign travellers to visit Malaysia when the borders reopen.
He also said that MATTA was in favour of the review for requirements in the quarantine policies and Covid-19 polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests.
