The Malaysian National Tourism Foundation launched
The Second Minister of Finance Dato’ Johari Abdul Ghani launched the National Tourism Foundation in conjunction with Malaysia Tourism Council (MTC) 30th year anniversary dinner held at Dewan Perdana Felda.
Founded by MTC, this new foundation serves as a platform to assist tourism operators in various sectors on many issues such as operators’ welfare, capacity-building, collective insurance and postgraduate scholarship funding.
The foundation also seeks financial backing from relevant corporations and government agencies in organising feasible, impactful and sustainable activities. MTC urges corporations to extend assistance to the tourism industry, especially during crises and emergencies.
Formed on 16 May 1986 and first chaired by the former Deputy Prime Minister YAB Tan Sri Musa Hitam, the MTC (formerly known as National Tourism Council of Malaysia) has been active in furthering the Malaysian tourism industry by supporting the industry players through consultations, discussions and negotiations with the government on all matters pertaining to tourism, besides identifying the destination’s tourism potential and functioning as a unifying body for all relevant volunteer and non-governmental organisations.
