PETALING JAYA: Improvements to toilet cleanliness and public facilities remain the top concern for both local and international tourists, say stakeholders.
The Malaysian Association of Tour and Travel Agents deputy president said challenges remain, especially in the maintenance and safety of recreational parks. Melaka Tourism Association president Madelina WL Kuah said tourists do not mind paying if there are more facilities especially for those aged 40 and above and mothers with infants.“When you have kids, especially babies, it can be quite challenging. For example, I had twins, so you can imagine how difficult it can be if there are no facilities,” she said.
“So we should have proper tourist information centres with a tourist ambassador to guide tourists,” she said.Federation of Malaysian Consumers Associations senior manager Saral James Maniam cited several Malaysian Standards that must be followed to ensure facilities are up to mark. “MS 1184:2014 focuses on universal design and accessibility in the built environment, ensuring that public facilities, including tourist attractions, are accessible to people with disabilities.
