Tourism ministry to mobilise resources in a big way to revive industry through ‘green bubbles’. FMTNews Tourism Nancy MCO

PETALING JAYA: The crystal-clear waters and white sandy beaches of Langkawi have been off-limits to many tourists since Covid-19 hit, but things could change as early as September.

“Langkawi will serve as the destination for the first green bubble, but the good news, for tourism industry players nationwide – from hoteliers, to tour operators, to traders, and tour guides – is that many more green bubbles will be created,” says tourism, arts, and culture minister Nancy Shukri. Green bubbles, which allow travel between states with fewer than 40 active Covid-19 cases, were put in place earlier but were closed after a resurgence in cases.

“Tourism, which provides a livelihood for millions of people in this country, cannot recover so long as people cannot visit tourist destinations, so making sure that these places are safe to visit is crucial.“The government is moving as fast as we can to achieve herd immunity throughout the country but to revive the tourism industry, we do not have to wait for that. We can start with tourist destinations, one after the other.
