Travel & Tourism Industries Prepare For Borders Reopening: Part One

Malaysia has been off limits to tourists for over two years, after shutting its borders to foreign travelers since March 2020. As we enter into the endemic phase on April 1 2022, the tourism industry will be seeing its light again as it is one of the most important sectors to revive the country’s economy. How will the nation’s travel agencies cope with the change? In this episode, we speak to Aaishah Bohari, Projects & Commercial Director, Ab & Artho Tourism Marketing & PR; Gregory Gubiani, Chairman, Marriott Business Council Malaysia and General Manager, The Westin Kuala Lumpur; and Zahira Tahir, CEO & Founder Universal Holidays Travel & Tourism.
