The country's tourism sector, involving tourists from China, has recovered by an increase of 5.9 per cent from last October compared to the same period in October 2013 following the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines (MAS) Flight MH370 in 2014.
Tourism Malaysia (Planning) deputy director-general Chong Yoke Har said 118,289 tourists from China visited Malaysia last October compared to 111,730 in October 2013.
She said Tourism Malaysia was confident the exemption of visa fees for Chinese tourists to the country from last February 15 would attract more tourists from China this year.
