IT WILL WORSEN NO THANKS TO BN'S POOR GOVERNANCE! Fewer China, Taiwan tourists after MAS tragedies, Sabah kidnaps - Nazri
Tourism Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Aziz today revealed that tourist arrivals from China and Taiwan have showed a significant dip following the two incidents involving Malaysia Airlines (MAS) aircraft and abduction cases in Sabah.
He said the number of tourists from China have dropped 11.8% from January to July this year to 997,370 from 1,130,721 last year.
The same can also be seen for the tourist arrivals from Taiwan which dropped by 2.9%.
"The number of visitors from Taiwan is at 168,962 (January to July) compared to 173,921 over the same period last year,” said Nazri in a written reply to Sepanggar MP Datuk Jumat Idris who had asked about the impact of the MAS tragedies on the tourism industry and efforts that were being taken to boost tourism.
Nazri explained that numerous steps have been taken to convince tourists to return to Sabah, including dialogues with Sabah Tourism and hotel owners in the state.
“We are also having discussions with the Chinese authorities and local airlines to strategise plans to gain back the confidence of the Chinese people,” he said.
