KUALA LUMPUR: The tourism industry is expected to begin its recovery phase in the second quarter of next year after being hit by the Covid-19 pandemic, says Datuk Nancy Shukri.

The Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister told the Dewan Rakyat that the government had adopted various measures to stimulate and revive the tourism industry.

Muhammad Bakhtiar, who was the former deputy tourism, arts and culture minister, then stood up to dispute the hotel occupancy figures, saying that it is only about 31% on average. From the total, the ministry projected a total loss of about RM31bil from the international travel sector while the domestic segment is expected to lose about RM13bil.

She said that the local industry players related to hotels, travel, shopping, food and beverages, meetings, incentives, conventions and exhibitions were hit the hardest.
