Hanoi (VNA) –
Malaysia could set up travel bubble with other ASEAN nations such as Singapore, Vietnam and Thailand, said Zaidi Isham Ismail in a recent article posted on New Straits Times.

The writer explained that the bubble or corridors denotes a safe or a protected perimeter between two travel destinations or countries or states already declared as green zones ready to receive tourists which is set to help the tourism sector recover. 

In Malaysia, he said, the obvious and nearest travel bubble is with Singapore. 

“Perhaps the two countries could consider setting up their very own travel bubble”, he said.

Subsequently, this concept could be expanded to the rest of ASEAN such as Vietnam and Thailand which are also headed towards green zone status, he added.

The essential requirement of implementing this initiative is trust between countries and cooperation of multi agencies, according to the writer./.
