Malaysia’s tourism industry has received a beating because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Is recovery possible?
However, the Covid-19 pandemic has put a damper on all of this, affecting more than 3.5 million people who work in the tourism industry.The tourism, arts, and culture ministry announced on March 24 that the main tourism industry players were expected to lose RM9 billion from January to March this year.
However, with the pandemic forcing many countries, including Malaysia, to impose entry bans and close their borders, what was once a promising year has now turned into a struggle for many in the tourism industry. A recent job survey of MAH hotel operators revealed “signs of desperation” among employers, Yap said, adding that as at March 20, some 4% of employees had been laid off, 17% put on unpaid leave, and 9% had taken pay cuts.
“This represents a third of what the hotels are not making, hence, the difficult decision to impose pay cuts and unpaid leave in order to retain jobs instead of terminating or laying off employees,” he said.
