He said the Asean tourism industry, featuring some of the fastest growing destinations in the world within easy flying distance of less than four hours, will continue as a significant contributor to Asean’s GDP and GDP growth. “The industry helps us sell Asean, helps contribute to economic growth and helps drive investment,” he said at the opening of the Federation of Asean Travel Associations Convention here today.The two-day convention, held in collaboration with Tourism Malaysia, is attended by 160 delegates from Singapore, Thailand, Myanmar, the Philippines, Cambodia and Malaysia as host.
He said the challenges in the global tourism and tourism industry are also driven by volatile economic trends, as well as changing travel patterns and options that could affect the industry.

Can't be the added special incentives exit tax? Did MKetapi do commerce while in Secondary school to understand discounts attracts customers not taxes. Don't assume tourist r lining up desperately to visit. mariamAdmrlGen pakatanharapan_ anthonyloke chedetofficial AzminAli
