Departure levy will hurt Sabah tourism, say travel industry players

Sabah Association of Tour and Travel Agents president Winston Liaw and adviser Christopher Chan.

He said although this figure is small compared to the total tourism receipt of RM8.34 billion collected last year, the implementation of the departure levy is expected to affect arrivals. He said he supported calls by state leaders to exempt travellers leaving Sabah from the departure levy. “Although Sabah’s tourism industry is now booming, the levy will put a halt to this growth,” he said.
