“Although it is not a highly fatal disease, the sharing of all sorts of news on social media has made people fearful to travel. More needs to be done to allay such fears, ” he said.Tan said the government should give flexibility to tourism industry players and workers in terms of taxes and statutory deductions.
“Financial institutions could give out special loans, reduce interest rates or allow deferment in loans repayment as tour buses are idle more often than running.
