KUALA LUMPUR: The Reciprocal Green Lane/Travel Corridor Arrangement (RGL/TCA) between Malaysia and Indonesia is expected to help support and speed up the opening of the business events industry in Malaysia.
The Malaysian Association of Convention and Exhibition Organisers and Suppliers president Francis Teo said the opening of borders between Malaysia and Indonesia would facilitate the movement of business travellers between the two countries.
Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin secured the travel bubble agreement during his two-day visit to Indonesia, which concluded on Friday.
In a statement, Teo said for the RGL/TCA to work, details of the initiative would need to be identified properly when it is implemented once the pandemic situation in both countries improves.
He suggested for airports to look into providing permanent special lanes and counters dedicated to these travellers to facilitate their movement upon arrival.
“Whatever standard operating procedure the government decides, we hope that travellers from Indonesia will abide by them, be it pre-requisite quarantine days, vaccinations, swab tests or other requirements deemed necessary, ” he said.
