Chinese tourists gaining confidence in Malaysia after MH370 disappearance - MITA
According to MITA, Chinese tourist confidence level could be seen from their increasing number entering the country via the Malaysia-Singapore Second Link (Linkedua).
Chinese tourists are slowly gaining confidence in traveling to this country after Malaysia Airlines (MAS) Flight MH370 vanished two years ago.
Malaysian Inbound Tourism Association (MITA) secretary-general, Mint Leong said the Chinese tourist confidence level could be seen from their increasing number entering the country via the Malaysia-Singapore Second Link (Linkedua).
"This year, we see the trend changing with Chinese tourist arrivals in this country increasing to as high as 80 to 200 buses daily, through the Second Link, especially during public holidays," she said.
She was speaking to reporters after visiting the Sultan Abu Bakar Customs, Immigration and Quarantine (CIQ) Complex here today, accompanied by Johor Tourism, Trade and Consumerism Committee chairman, Datuk Tee Siew Kiong.
Yesterday, a massive congestion lasting four hours occurred at Linkedua, caused by heavy inflow and outflow traffic, including 180 buses ferrying 7,200 Chinese tourists.
