GEORGE TOWN (Bernama): Malaysians have been urged to send out a positive message that Malaysia is still a safe place to visit despite being faced with the Covid-19 infection situation, says Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail.
The Deputy Prime Minister said it has been a challenging start to the new year, the tourism sector in particular, and the government was now drafting various strategies to help the industry deal with the challenges.
At the same time, she also advised the people not to spread or believe fake news or unverified information on social media as that would only lead to negative effects such as panic and altercations. In addition, Motac also devised a short-term or 'quick win' strategy to attract tourists from nearby Asean countries as an alternative strategy to boost the tourism industry.
