THE downgrade of the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (CAAM) to Category 2 will have limited impact on tourist arrivals in conjunction with Visit Malaysia 2020, says Deputy Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister Muhammad Bakhtiar Wan Chik.
“I have checked with a few airlines and they informed me it doesn’t affect them unless there is codesharing, ” he said when answering a supplementary question raised by Datuk Seri Reezal Merican Naina at the Dewan Rakyat yesterday.
Muhammad Bakhtiar pointed out that about 90% of tourists visiting the country were from regional countries and not from Europe or the United States.
