KOTA BARU, Jan 30 — It is too early to determine the effects of the 2019 novel coronavirus outbreak on the country’s tourism industry, Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister Datuk Mohamaddin Ketapi said.“It has only happened for a month and a half, and if we are to ask whether it is affecting tourist arrivals or not, it is still too early to say.

Also present were his deputy Muhammad Bakhtiar Wan Chik and Kraftangan Malaysia director-general Ibrahim Ismail. He said the country was not dependent on Chinese tourists alone and pointed out that Singaporeans made the highest number who visited the country last year.
