Kota Kinabalu: The Malaysian Association of Tour and Travel Agents (Matta) hopes budget financing is more focused on ‘destination visibility’ advertising, as well as the enhancement of tourist products and infrastructure.
At the same time, the association which is the leading and largest national travel association in Malaysia said there is also a need to provide enough assistance for tourism stakeholders to strengthen in the aftermath of the Covid pandemic.
Matta has close to 3, 000 members, comprising local tour and travel agents and overseas affiliations.
