KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 14 — The Business Events Council Malaysia has urged the government to consider reopening business events or meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions sector urgently, under strict adherence to the standard operating procedures .
In a statement today, acting chairman Datuk Vincent Lim said the BE sector contributed over RM27.5 billion to the country’s gross domestic product in 2019. “The BE industry has been badly affected during over 18 months of restrictions. It is now time to reopen these doors to allow us to create the jobs and revenue that is crucial for this last quarter of the year,” he said.
“With the national vaccination rollout now approaching 80 per cent and going strong, we cannot afford to sit back any longer, as BEs require a minimum of three months to plan, promote and execute.
