Foreign media: Malaysia launches 10-year plan to revitalize tourism

  According to Reuters Kuala Lumpur, on December 23, local time, Malaysia launched a 10-year plan to revitalize the tourism industry. According to reports, affected by the new crown pneumonia epidemic, Malaysia’s tourism industry is estimated to have lost more than 100 billion ringgits (US$24.61 billion) this year.

                The report noted that Malaysia initially hoped to attract 30 million foreign tourists to Malaysia through the “2020 Malaysia Tourism Year” event, but the global epidemic has paralyzed the tourism industry.

                Malaysian Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin delivered a speech at the ceremony to launch the 2020-2030 National Tourism Policy. Muhyiddin said that relevant policies will focus on strengthening competitiveness and encouraging the development of sustainable and inclusive tourism. (Compile / Jin Jinlong)
