KUALA LUMPUR: The Tourism Ministry is setting its sights on high yield travellers or big spenders who will stay longer in the country. Its minister Datuk Seri Dr Ng Yen Yen said although Asian countries were still important, Malaysia is now targeting emerging markets such as Russia, South America, North Ame-rica, India and Brazil. “They (travellers) may not come in big numbers but they are big spenders and would stay longer in the country,” she said after launching the Food Trail book by StarMetro journalist Sam Cheong. On another matter, Dr Ng hoped that locals will practise the “Malaysian way” of greeting tourists. “We as a nation should come toge-ther to place our right hand on our collarbone and gently bow to greet them,” she said.
