Tourism is one of the largest industries in Malaysia that contributing to 12.8 percent (%) of the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) prior to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2019. However, this was affected by the state-wide lockdowns forbidding both domestic and international travel that significantly impacted the tourism sector globally. 

 

We finally see the light at the end of the dark tunnel in the tourism sector with the relaxation of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) implemented this year, the ease of the travel restrictions and the high rate of vaccination turnover.

This is supported by the hotel room occupancy rate indicator displayed in the first quarter of 2022 together with the significant rise in interstate travel, especially for the domestic tourism-related industries.
