KLCC expects full resumption of business events following travel restrictions ease

KUALA LUMPUR: The Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC) is anticipating full resumption of business events (BE) soon following the government's announcement surrounding domestic travel and the success of tourism bubbles.

General Manager Alan Pryor said the recent update allowing domestic and overseas travel for fully vaccinated Malaysians is certainly a reflection of the collective effort by all citizens in battling the COVID-19 pandemic.

"Now, we must look forward and be ready to serve the business and trade community and hope that the reopening of our industry will be expedited based on the progress we have made and are making.

"With small meetings at 50 per cent physical capacity currently allowed, we are hopeful that the domestic travel relaxation, the continued success of travel bubbles, and the closer we get towards reaching the national immunisation goal will soon pave the way towards allowing the BE sector to fully operate based on strict adherence to the standard operating procedures (SOPs)," he said in a statement today.

As part of its readiness strategy, KLCC recently became the first venue in Malaysia to attain "Safe BE", a hygiene label by Bureau Veritas, which serves as reassurance and guarantee towards the centre's expertise in providing a safe, controlled and regulated event environment by way of compliance to and implementation of the government-approved SOPs.

The safety and hygiene level of the venue is further enhanced by additional filters in the heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system to regulate and maintain good air quality within the centre.
