IPOH: Most Malaysians prefer to travel domestically than going abroad for now, says Perak Malaysian Association of Tour and Travel Agents (MATTA) chairman Chong Yu Ken.
He cited factors such as the frequent changes in Covid-19 safety procedures in other countries, which caused a lot of uncertainties for travellers.“It’s the SOP that could change suddenly. It may be like this today, but it could be different tomorrow.”
“If it is more stable, then international travel will increase by the first quarter of next year,” he said. “As travel agents, we must have first-hand information by updating ourselves on a daily basis,” he said. She said that there were nearly five million domestic tourists last year, so the state had raised its target this year.“Perak has always been in the top three choices for domestic tourists. We will continue to push for domestic travel as the main choice rather than outbound,” she said.
