Malaysia plans to reopen the country’s borders to foreign visitors latest by Jan 1, 2022, to accelerate the recovery of the tourism sector says NRC chairman Muhyiddin Yassin in a media conference on Thursday (Nov 11).
The country’s high COVID-19 vaccination rate is taken into account, he says. “Taking into account the good vaccination level of the country, today the NRC has decided that the country’s borders should be opened to international visitors by Jan 1, 2022,” he said.
He said the NRC had noted a very slow recovery of Malaysia’s economy, especially in the tourism sector, due to the absence of foreign visitors to the country.
