As containment measures have their desired effect and restrictions begin to be lifted, Tourism Malaysia is planning to work together with industry partners and international agents to organise both physical and virtual travel fairs. Leveraging the “Malaysia, Truly Asia” slogan, Tourism Malaysia intends to re-position the nation as a premier location for international travel in the region.

To fund the post-pandemic recovery, Tourism Malaysia is expanding its budget, with particular emphasis on international trade fairs. The board will expand its matching grant for trade fair attendees from RM15,000 to RM35,000 (US$8,040), thereby encouraging greater participation and promotion across the board. According to Musa, the recovery plan also includes joint promotions and campaigns with airline partners and outbound travel operators overseas, some of which had been put on hold due to COVID-19.  The plans include international carriers such as Turkish Airways, Emirates and Etihad, along with local flyers Malaysia Airlines and AirAsia.

the government had previously introduced the Shared Prosperity Vision (SPV) 2030 as a continuation of Vision 2020, with SPV 2030 aimed at enabling all Malaysians to have a decent standard of living by 2030.
SPV 2030 would be implemented via the 12th Malaysia Plan (2021-2025) and the 13th Malaysia Plan (2026-2030), with the 12th Malaysia Plan aimed at achieving a Malaysia that is “prosperous, inclusive and sustainable”.

In short, in my opinion, we need to develop a holistic civilization, where people have high values, morals, are knowledge seekers and avid readers, appreciate arts, culture and heritage as well as have mindsets that reflect the people of a developed nation.

Progress must also entail the flourishing of arts, culture and civilisation. As such, the Eleventh Plan will give importance to the community of creative arts practitioners.

Activities related to the arts will be intensified with the upgrading of the National Arts, Culture and Heritage Academy or ASWARA, from the level of an academy to the status of a university, in an effort to produce high calibre creative arts practitioners. In this respect, the creative industry will be promoted.

Human capital is the most important resource for national development. The status of a nation, whether advanced or otherwise, depends on the competencies and skills of its human capital as well as the strength of its value system.

In this respect, it is my pleasure to announce that a total of 1.5 million new jobs will be created during the Eleventh Plan period.

Under this Plan, it will be ensured that key sectors such as services, manufacturing, agriculture, small and medium enterprises contribute significantly to the GDP.

In the services sector, among the industries that will be promoted are Islamic finance, ICT, oil and gas, private healthcare, private higher education, tourism and Halal industry.
