RECENTLY, Malaysian Tourist Guides Council president Jimmy Leong called on Tourism, Arts and Culture (Motac) Minister Datuk Sri Tiong King Sing to look at “quality tourism” rather than “quantity tourism” by marketing Malaysia as a value-for-money holiday destination.
Speaking to a local news portal, he said we should not be going back to the pre-pandemic era when Malaysia was involved in zero-cost tours where shopping was used to pay the costs for visitors’ holiday packages, especially for those from mainland China.
