Develop green tourism, says DPM

Tuesday October 5, 2010
By MUGUNTAN VANAR vmugu@thestar.com.my

KOTA KINABALU: World tourism bodies under the United Nations should develop measures for green tourism that can be adopted by nations developing their tour industry.
Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said this could be done by the United Nations World Tourism Organisation (UNTWO), adding that the latest technology and information on green tourism should also be disseminated.

“There is a need to come out with clear guidelines, may be some standard approach on how this issue can be managed by governments and also by the various stakeholders,” he told reporters yesterday after opening the World Tourism Conference attended by about 500 delegates from 44 countries.

He said environment and conservation were important, and Malaysia wanted to push tourism into the forefront of generating revenue for the country while not harming the environment.
Muhyiddin also said tourists currently preferred to move away from cities and “head towards nature”.

“They want to go up the mountain, they want to enjoy the environment. These are the pristine values of tourism that need to be conserved for future generations,” he added.

Earlier in his speech, Muhyiddin said Malaysia was keen to develop green technology and implement the best practices in sustainable development to resolve adverse environmental issues frequently attributed to tourism.

MTGC CIRCULAR : WAITING AREA FOR TOUR BUSES TO DO PICK-UP / DROP-OFF AT JALAN PETALING


Dear TGA Chairpersons,

MTGC was involved in the above meeting discussions, but we have yet to receive the said letter.

The following announcement was through our members who were also members of MATTA.

Thank you.


Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur (DBKL) has issued a letter on 2 November 2010, to overcome the problem of tour buses picking-up / dropping-off tourists at Jalan Petaling, Kuala Lumpur.

A meeting was held a few months back, and it was discussed and that the proposal has been implemented as follows:

a) The existing taxi stop at Jalan Sultan in front of Kompleks Selangor to be designated as a stop for tour buses to pick-up and drop-off tourists. The waiting period for each bus is only 20 minutes. This stop has already been in use since 20 October 2010.

b) For longer periods of waiting, the tour buses can park near Sekolah Rendah (J) Kebangsaan Davidson at Jalan Hang Jebat or at Stadium Merdeka at Jalan Stadium car park.

MTGC CIRCULAR : Licensed Tourist Guides who do not sit for their Confirmation Examination

Attention: All Affiliates,

The Licensing Division of the Ministry of Tourism Malaysia had issued letters to the many numbers of licensed tourist guides who have not bother to sit for their confirmation examinations after their two years of probation.

The letters are serious in their nature, as failure to adhere to the requirement would have their licenses revoked.

The Malaysian Tourist Guides Council had on many occasions reminded all tourist guides who needed to sit for their confirmation examinations to take it seriously but regret that many tourist guides prefer to ignored the reminders rather than to sign up for the courses.

In this aspect, MTGC hope that all Affiliates would audit their members, and identify the numbers required to sit for the confirmation examinations and to organize the Courses for them accordingly.

Should any of the Affiliates face any problems in such organizing these Courses, please kindly refer to MTGC for further details and assistance.

Thank you for your kind attention.

President Jimmy Leong Wie Kong
Malaysian Tourist Guides Council
