One suggestion for Malaysia to revive the important tourism industry is to create travel bubbles but only for international business travelers from countries which have contained the Covid-19 virus like Singapore, Australia, Hong Kong and Japan. However many questions arise as to the viability of this and also what happens if there is another virus outbreak. Nigel Wong, Honorary Secretary General, Malaysian Association of Tour and Travel Agents attempts to answer these questions and more.
