With the reopening of the country, my country's tourism industry has also ushered in favorable factors. The government's announcement of the implementation of tourism recovery assistance measures in this year's budget will undoubtedly bring greater incentives to the tourism industry and related industries, and is expected to accelerate the industry's recovery.
The Government, through the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture, has allocated RM50 million to implement the Tourism, Arts and Culture Matching Grant Scheme (GPPSB) to keep tourism and cultural sector players who have been hit hard by Covid-19 in staying competitive.
When Minister of Culture Datuk Seri Nancy Nancy announced the matching grant earlier, he said that the ministry will allocate RM50 million to revitalize the tourism and cultural sectors that have been severely affected by the outbreak over the past two years.
She pointed out that this will also help relevant industry players to remain competitive, promote Malaysia as a safe tourist destination, and re-energize the country’s arts and cultural ecosystem, as well as re-establish the country’s position as a leading tourist destination in Asia.
