GOVT TO STRENGTHEN TOURISM INDUSTRY ACT 1992, ENHANCE ENFORCEMENT

KUALA LUMPUR, The Tourism Industry Act 1992 will be strengthened to enhance enforcement in efforts to combat travel package scams, including umrah packages, the Dewan Rakyat was told today.

Deputy Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture Khairul Firdaus Akbar Khan said the act has not been revised for a long time and needs improvement to better monitor travel package scam cases.

During the question and answer session, he said the ministry relies on complaints it receives for monitoring and that it is unable to thoroughly oversee every incident due to the shortage of enforcement staff.

He was responding to a supplementary question from Muhammad Fawwaz Mohamad Jan (PN-Permatang Pauh), who wanted to know the government’s efforts in helping victims of travel package scams and the follow-up actions taken against companies involved in such fraud.
