New Charge Won’t Affect Tourist Arrivals

Posted by Borneo Responsible Tourism on Wednesday, October 12, 2011
KOTA KINABALU: The implementation of new international passenger service charge (PSC) will not reduce the number of tourist arrivals as the increase is only minimal, said a travel agency here.
 
Popular Express Travel Sdn Bhd managing director Dewi Chen pointed out that the PSC which was previously subsidised by the government, should be lifted as tourists were meant to spend money in our country. Instead of subsidising tourists, Chen said the money should be used to subsidise daily essential items such as rice, cooking oil and salt, adding that the subsidy was said to cost the government around RM80 million a year.
