This would be considered after taking into account the types and quality of eco-tourism products in Orang Asli settlements.
The Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture will appoint a member of the Orang Asli community as board member to two of its agencies, Tourism Malaysia and Kraftangan Malaysia, said its Minister Mohamaddin Ketapi .
The move is in response to the call by Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad at the National Orang Asli Convention 2019 in Putrajaya today for handicraft products from the community to be promoted and marketed in tourist areas, he said. Mohamaddin said representatives of the Orang Asli must be in MOTAC to share their ideas and market their crafts in a more holistic manner.
