The 6-day roadshow organised by Tourism Malaysia in two major cities in Bangladesh – Dhaka and Chattogram – ended on 7, 2022, a press release said Wednesday.
A day-long seminar for local travel agents and tour operators was organised on the day in Chattogram.
In connection with the roadshow, a Malaysian delegation headed by Syed Yahya Syed Othman, Senior Director of the Strategic Planning Division, Tourism Malaysia visited Bangladesh. The delegation comprises five travel agents and two health industry organisations.
Apart from instilling confidence in Bangladeshis to return to Malaysia, the roadshow was aimed to provide a platform for the industry community to bounce back and steer the tourism sector back to its former glory, if not better.
“This is an excellent time to return to Bangladesh, and the timing of this roadshow is ideal. The resumption of scheduled international flights from Bangladesh coincides with Malaysia’s reopening of its international borders,” said Syed Yahya Syed Othman.
Malaysia has opened its shores for quarantine-free travel on April 1, 2022 to welcome fully-vaccinated international travellers. Fully-vaccinated inbound travellers are no longer required to undergo pre-departure and on-arrival COVID-19 tests, including children aged 17 and below.
Currently, Malaysia offers more than 3910 seats weekly between Dhaka and Malaysia through Malaysia Airlines, Batik Air, and AirAsia.
