INCIDENT WON’T TURN TOURISTS AWAY: TOURISM ASSOCIATION
Syed Azhar Syed Nadzir, president of the Kuala Lumpur Tourism Association, stated to CNA that there has n’t been any change in tourism there. However, he anticipated that fewer people would visit the Jalan Masjid India area.
” We do n’t see any cancellations on our booking platforms. This time of year is known as the summer vacation time. We are convinced that all these orders may materialise”, he said.  ,  ,  ,
” I think that tourists wo n’t make cancellation plans just because of this incident,” he said. Even though there are occasional landslides,” we do possess incidents like that,” says one visitor.
In the same vein, Uzaidi Udanis, president of Malaysia’s commerce council and northbound travel association, claimed that bookings did not drop in the wake of the incident.
” I communicate with my foreign counterparts every day, and there has n’t been much discussion about the specific incident,” he said.
Tourists would still go to different parts of the city, said Mr PT Hariyadurai, a licensed tour guide.
” The area is popular with visitors from the Indian and Indonesian areas, primarily because there are a lot of products that to buy.”  ,
” Of course there will be an impact on the area for the time being, and it will take time for it to retrieve,” said Mr. Hariyadurai, whose business Skyrise Travel and Tours deals primarily with the global marketplace.
We do n’t want our clients to travel to the area right now; we want them to get somewhere else, like Bukit Bintang. ”  ,
