Malaysia should look into 'travel bubble', for business travellers

Its Asean Business group managing director M Gandhi said the implementation of"travel bubble” for international business travellers will help to stimulate the Malaysian economy.

He said Malaysia’s economy grew moderately at 0.7 per cent in the first quarter of 2020 compared with 4.5 per cent in the same quarter last year, as the country’s gross domestic product has been affected by the pandemic and the subsequent implementation of the movement control order . For starters, he said, the"travel bubble” should be limited to South Korea, Taiwan, Japan, China, Thailand, Singapore, Australia, Vietnam and Hong Kong which have similar numbers of daily new cases.

In 2019, a total of 1,025 business events were organised, which attracted over 540,000 international business travellers to Malaysia.
