Chinese tourists eyed by other nations in this region


PETALING JAYA: One reason for the decrease in Chinese tourist arrivals is because there are now more choices for them as every country wants to woo them, said Malaysian Association of Tour and Travel Agents (MATTA) president Datuk Tan Kok Liang.

“Other reasons could also be due to the economic slowdown in China as well as bookings which are now done through online tour agents and Airbnb,” he added.
