The 2020 Economic Stimulus Package announced by interim Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad may not necessarily spur the tourism sector, say tour agents in Sabah.
However, Liaw said issues such as personal income tax relief of up to RM1,000 on expenditure related to domestic tourism, as well as digital vouchers for domestic tourism of up to RM100 per person for domestic flights, rail and hotel accommodations for all Malaysians, needed more details. Chong said due to the standstill in tourism and many related industries, many have lost their jobs or are on unpaid leaves.
He said to spur unexplored or lesser known domestic destinations, basic facilities and infrastructure needed to be upgraded and maintained.
