PUTRAJAYA: The Tourism, Arts and Culture Ministry has revoked the licence issued to Layang-Layang Island Resort Sdn Bhd effective Monday (Jan 6).
Tourism Commissioner Datuk Roslan Abdul Rahman in a statement today said the licence, number 2992, was revoked in line with Section 8 of the Tourism Industry Act 1992 [Act 482].
"The ministry takes seriously any violation of the law by licensed tourism operators to safeguard the welfare and interests of Madani Malaysians," he said.
It was reported that a resort in Sabah allegedly failed to return deposits to more than 100 individuals, including foreign tourists, who booked scuba diving packages with them since 2020. The reservation required a deposit of 50 per cent. – BERNAMA
