Hoteliers and tour agents remind Putrajaya of their proposal for a two-tier system as the tourism sector is hardest-hit by the pandemic. FMTNews Tourism CMCO
The ban on interstate travel for the affected areas will see a big chunk of business taken away from vacation hotspots in other states.
MAH chief executive officer Yap Lip Seng told FMT that the tiered system called for a 50% subsidy for employees earning up to RM4,000 and 30% for those between RM4,001 to RM8,000, adding that this system was used in Singapore, Canada, Australia and the UK. Yap said the latest conditional movement control order imposed on Selangor, Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya meant that hotels in the Klang Valley had lost all potential customers.
He said MAH had also requested Putrajaya to extend and increase the electricity discounts for tourism stakeholders, as well as to review the mechanism of the targeted loan moratorium. Tan also said Putrajaya should start thinking of other ways to mitigate the pandemic rather than implementing lockdowns.
