The Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture (MOTAC) has opened discussions with the Ministry of Finance to evaluate relief measures for tour bus operators affected by rising diesel prices.
Market Impact
The talks follow a joint memorandum submitted by nine tourism associations detailing the financial pressure on coach businesses, according to a statement from MOTAC.
However, the government cannot design targeted aid or tax incentives until operators submit their actual diesel consumption data and fuel cost comparisons, the ministry said.
MOTAC urged industry players to submit the required documentation immediately so officials can accurately calculate operational costs and structure a fair support package.
