Review Covid-19 test ruling for travellers: Matta

Kota Kinabalu: The Malaysian Association of Tour and Travel Agents (Matta) hoped the State Government will review the requirement for travellers to have a Covid-19 test three days prior to scheduled arrival or departure. 

Its President Datuk Tan Kok Liang (pic) said this would help Sabah to revive the leisure market segment.

On the announcement by Sabah Tourism, Culture and Environment Minister Datuk Jafry Arifin that the State Government had allocated over RM2 million financial aid to be distributed among 503 licensed travel and tour companies in Sabah, Tan described it as timely as the country prepares for the festive season.
