There will be various tourism packages planned in an effort to revive Melaka’s critical tourism sector impacted by the movement control order (MCO) that was enforced to contain the Covid-19 outbreak

Chief Minister Datuk Sulaiman Md Ali said this was important as tourism is among the main contributors to the state economy and has many industry players from multiple sub-sectors.

“As a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, I am certain many sectors have been impacted such as tourism, including hotels and many hotels could be further affected.

“All these might take a long time to recover but the state and the federal government will work hard to reduce the impact on the state tourism sector and pave the way for its recovery,” he said.
