PETALING JAYA: The government’s decision to lift the ban on interstate and inter-district travel is being welcomed by the hard-hit tourism industry. The move coincides with the year-end festivities and celebrations which is usually a boon for tourism players. “The lifting of the travel ban will unite more families during Christmas and New Year, especially for people in Sabah and Penang, ” he told The Star. “MATTA welcomes the move and believes there will be a further boost to the domestic tourism in Sabah when the testing requirement is lifted, ” he added. “The decision will indirectly revive domestic tourism through the Domestic Travel Bubble initiative that facilitates movement across all zones without the need for a police permit.
