KUALA LUMPUR: Tour operators and guides will be given licences for five years, an increase from the current three years.
The Tourism, Arts and Culture Ministry has agreed to extend the validity period of those licences, says its minister Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing.
The ministry is responsible for enforcing the Tourism Industry Act 1992 , which includes licensing tour operators under Section 5 and tour guides under Section 21. “Besides, we want to upgrade Jalan Alor, making it more like a tourist place. We want to create more outlets as a tourist spot,” he said. Liew, who is in charge of tourism, culture and environment, said that in a bid to achieve that target, her ministry will use ehailing vehicles to promote Sabah tourism.
At the event, she also visited the Sabah pavilion and flagged off a convoy of 10 out of 100 ehailing vehicles, which have been attached with the “Feel Sabah, North Borneo” stickers that will take to the roads around the Klang Valley for three months for promotional purposes.
