Tourism industry players say sector in dire need of govt assistance

Sunday, 15 Nov 2020 03:32 PM MYT

They said that the allocation for tourism sector announced in the 2021 Budget needs to be re-evaluated and better support to be given to those affected. “We really need government assistance to survive. We have employees and they have families as well as commitment. Not only hotels, all players in the tourism industry are also affected by Covid-19,” she told Bernama.

Malaysia Bumiputera Tourist Guides Association president Zulkifli Ismail, on the other hand, hoped that the 2021 Budget would be reviewed by providing one-off assistance of at least RM1,000 to tourist guides. On November 6, Finance Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz, when tabling the 2021 Budget, announced, among others, that the government will provide employment opportunities for 500 people in the local and Orang Asli communities as tour guides at all national parks to boost the ecotourism segment.
