MCTA Perak Chapter CNY Gathering 2023
Members of MCTA (Malaysian Chinese Tourism Association) Perak Chapter were feted to a sumptuous dinner at the Lost World of Tambun last evening, in conjunction with Chinese New Year. Chairman of Tourism, Industry, Investment & Corridor Development Committee of the Perak State Government YB Loh Sze Yee was the guest-of-honour.
Sponsored by Golden Destinations, and supported by MCTA, the event was an opportunity for guests to network and share new perspectives on the hospitality industry, post-COVID-19.
MCTA Perak Chapter Chairperson, Mr. Law Weng Sum, in his speech, said that 2023 is a new dawn for players in the tourism industry. “Working together, we can overcome the challenges that we may face.”
MCTA National President Mr. Paul Paw was glad to note the industry’s revival, both among domestic and international travellers. He said, “The hospitality industry is recovering speedily, thanks to the cooperation among all the stakeholders and support from the government at the federal and state levels.
“Our first MITM Travel Fair following the pandemic, which was hosted at Mid Valley Kuala Lumpur, had been a tremendous success with RM45 million in sales. For 2023, we are going all out to further assist our members in all 8 chapters to rebuild the industry. We hope that the travel industry will recover as soon as possible. It is not easy but we are confident that we can recapture the market, despite the changes that travel agencies have to adopt.”
Established 30 years ago in September 1992, MCTA membership grew from 7 to 1400 today as one of Malaysia’s top hospitality associations. MCTA Perak Chapter was formed in 2008.
Besides the camaraderie built over a delicious dinner, a lucky draw awaited guests, with the grand prize of a flight ticket to any destination operated by Vietnam Air. Other prizes included hotel stays and tour packages. Congratulations to the winners.
