    Malaysia’s Tourism Ministry Wooing Expatriates in West Asia

    As a part of huge campaign to promote tourism in Malaysia, the Tourism Ministry of Malaysia is going all out to attract not only tourists from West Asia but also expatriates working in the West Asian countries. According to Minister for Tourism Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor, there are over 20 million foreigners working in the Gulf states with 20% of them earning more than Malaysian ringgit 15,000 a month. This 20% can very well afford to vacation in Malaysia. Since most of the expatriates are from India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, Tengku Adnan said he hoped that the Malaysian Immigration Department would not categorise them as migrant workers looking for jobs but rather as expatriates on holiday in Malaysia, reports Bernama, Malaysian national news agency.The Minister said he had received complaints on instances where expatriates from Saudi Arabia had faced problems at the immigration counters in Malaysia. These expatriates, who came with tourist visas to Kuala Lumpur for a holiday, were planning to fly home via Singapore. However, the immigration officers asked them to produce tickets or proof to back their claims that they were scheduled to go to Singapore. Minister Tengku Adnan told reporters, accompanying him on his visit to the Gulf States to promote ‘Visit Malaysia Year 2007,’ that Malaysia always encourages tourists to travel overland from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore. If the immigration officers were to ask for bus tickets, how could the tourists produce them? They have not bought the tickets yet; they had just arrived in Malaysia. Tengku Adnan said he would discuss the matter with the ministries and agencies concerned and find a solution since such problems gave Malaysia a bad name. These expatriates, he said, came all the way to Malaysia for a holiday only to be confronted with unexpected problems. It should not have happened, but these are the trivial matters that often turn…

    The Philippine Tourism Industry Analysis

    Income, employment, balance of payments and investments are all the positive impacts of the tourism industry. The industry generates income through salary, wages, loan and interest. The amount spent by tourists though their currency in the accommodation, food and beverage and other tourism services and products,once they visited in our country, becomes our tourist receipts. Tourism brings new money into the economy. Tourist money is returned to the local economy as it is spent over and over again. As shown in the multiplier effect, the salary that an employee receives from the business can be used for his daily expense, others will go to his savings, while part of his earnings will go to tax. The tax will go to the government to carry out its plan in developing and constructing infrastructures and superstructures beneficial for both the tourist and the residents. If service providers can provide a very satisfying experience for the tourist together with the help of other sectors indirectly providing the business, then we can expect more visitors to frequent our country. In any part of our country, once an area has become economically successful, more businessmen and government agencies may be influenced to invest in tourism and other industries, which is known as the accelerator concept. Because of this, we can expect more job opportunities in the sector.…
