: The Ministry of Finance will allocate adequate funds to the tourism sector in preparation for Malaysia’s role as ASEAN Chair in 2025 and the Visit Malaysia Year 2026.
“Fortunately, this year we are seeing positive trends, with Malaysia expected to welcome more tourists than before the COVID-19 pandemic,” he told reporters after a meeting with Terengganu tourism stakeholders regarding the 2025 Budget at the Terengganu Museum here today. “Secondly, there were suggestions to support those in the industry through incentives or skill development, such as training as tour guides. We will explore this further with the Tourism, Arts, and Culture Ministry ,“ he added.
Meanwhile, addressing the recent surge of Malaysians traveling to Thailand, Amir Hamzah urged the public to focus on domestic tourism to boost the national economy, rather than traveling abroad, despite the strengthening ringgit. Earlier, media reports indicated that nearly 100,000 Malaysian tourists visited Thailand during the school holidays and Malaysia Day recently, contributing over 1 billion Baht to Thailand’s economy.
