Sarawak’s tourism to vaccinate stakeholders in stages

Monday, June 28, 2021

Sarawak’s Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture (MTAC) will ensure all state tourism industry players receive the Covid-19 vaccine in stages as soon as possible in preparations for the reopening of the tourism sector.

Its minister Datuk Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzahsaid there has been an encouraging response to the vaccination drive since the opening of the vaccination centre (PPV) for the tourism sector on June 24 at the Association Of Churches in Jalan Stampin here.

“Although the quota is only 2,000 doses at the moment, we will try to ensure that the rest also get the vaccine as soon as possible.

“When the tourism sector reopens, we want tourists to be confident because they (industry players) have been vaccinated,“ he told Bernama after attending the ‘Preview Behind the Scene Borneo Jazz Festival’ virtually at the Chemsain building auditorium here yesterday.
