SEGAMAT: The time the country's tourism sector will take to recover to the level before the Covid-19 pandemic hit, will depend on the reopening of the borders of other countries, says Deputy Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister, Datuk Seri Dr Santhara Kumar.

He said the Ministry of Arts, Culture and Tourism had initially planned to revive the country's tourism sector within three years, but it depended on other factors.

"Currently, China has yet to open its borders for its people to travel. In terms of planning to receive the presence of foreign tourists, we are ready, among industry players, but it also depends on the reopening of borders in those countries,” he said. He was asked to comment on the statement by the chairman of the National Recovery Council , Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, who opined that the five-year period targeted by Tourism Malaysia for the country's tourism sector to recover was too long.
