Malaysia welcomes international tourists again

Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister Datuk Sri Nancy Shukri said the reopening of borders signals opportunities for economic recovery and boosts tourism growth again.

She notes that the country is expecting and preparing for a conservative figure of 2 million international tourists in the coming months. This figure is expected to increase as other countries also begin to reopen their borders.
