He said homestays, hotels, adventure and extreme tourism, scuba diving and snorkelling, theme parks are allowed to resume but operators will have to comply to the standard operating procedures and guidelines set by the State Disaster Management Committee . He said tour operators can receive and sell bookings for domestic tour packages and activities allowed by the government, but no overseas travel packages are permitted, as operators are encouraged to do online promotion for their packages, to substitute promotional exhibition or roadshow.
Abdul Karim said sauna, swimming pool, lounge, pub, bar, karaoke and buffet restaurant were still not allowed while music, dance or theatre schools and photography studios could operate from Wednesday onwards but operators or premise owners must inform clients on the SOP measures.
