Langkawi, 23rd August 2021 – To ensure optimal compliance of COVID-19 SOPs by tourism products, Langkawi has introduced COVID-19 SOP Compliance Certification to be voluntarily participated by six (6) business segments of tourism industry which cover hotels and resorts, food and beverage (F&B), accommodations, retailing and groceries, tourism agencies, as well as tourism attractions.

This certification will be helmed by LADA in collaboration with LTA, MKN, PDRM, Langkawi District and Land Office, Malaysia Civil Defence Force (APM), KKM, MPLBP, MOTAC, and Tourism Malaysia. Some of the certification requirements include the complete two-dose vaccination of all staff for tourism products involved as well as participation of at least one staff in the Certificate in COVID-19 SOP Education & Risk Assessment (CERIA) Course conducted by LTA.

According to Chief Executive Officer of LADA, YBrs. Tuan Nasaruddin bin Abdul Muttalib, a total of 800 participants are estimated to join the course which will be held online in six (6) series. This certification is part of the steps taken under Langkawi Tourism Recovery Plan 2021-2022 (T-REC 2021-2022) which was announced last July.

LADA is positive that this effort could raise the awareness and knowledge of tourism product owners on COVID-19 SOP compliance, therefore boosting tourists’ confidence to revisit Langkawi soon.
