also contribute significantly as a key foreign revenue earner for the nation,\u201d he said to the government.<\/p>\n<p>Malaysian Association of Tour and Travel Agents president Nigel Wong said the association is preparing a proposal for submission to the government. \u201cThe government can consider a mechanism that ensures we won\u2019t incur losses that are too high due to our previously-signed tour contracts,\u201d he said, adding that tourism operators have honoured signed agreements predating the rationalisation programme.<\/p>\n<p>Peninsular Malaysia Tour Bus Operators\u2019 Association president Steven Chong said the government must come out with a clear mechanism and a fixed time frame for operators. \u201cAny form of help is better than nothing at all.
