The state will discuss ways to establish air Vaccinated Travel Lanes (VTL) to Sabah with regional countries that have yet to open their borders.
Assistant Tourism, Culture, and Environment Minister Datuk Joniston Bangkuai said VTL is a necessary stimulus to contribute to the state's economy while emphasising that the Ministry and industry players were ready to welcome tourists.
"The Ministry has frequently carried out engagements in this matter and as such, the Ministry has submitted a proposal to the Sabah Covid-19 Disaster Management Committee to implement the VTL between Kota Kinabalu and Singapore.
"Based on our interactions with industry players, we know they are prepared. However, we must make recommendations to the state disaster committee, which includes the National Security Council, the Health Ministry, and other related departments and agencies, so they can assess the risk of implementing the VTL.
