MELAKA: Several Melaka tourism products are expected to go on sale on the Lazada and Shopee online shopping platforms, the State Assembly was reported today.
The chairman of the State Committee for Tourism, Heritage and Culture, Datuk Muhamad Jailani Khamis, said that the initiative is expected to increase the sales of tour operators and expand the market in the future.
“The Melaka chapter of the Ministry of Tourism, Art and Culture and the Melaka Tourism Promotion Division brought representatives from Lazada and Shopee about 10 days ago for a meeting to inform them about this.
“It involved about 70 tourism stakeholders and provided them with information on how to register their products on the two platforms,” Seri Negeri told the assembly session at Kompleks here.
He was answering a supplementary question from Datuk Amiruddin Yusof (BN-Ayer Limau) about the state’s efforts to attract domestic and foreign tourists.
Muhamad Jailani, however, did not specify the type of products or services that will be advertised on the two platforms.
Muhamad Jailani (Ind-Rembia) said the move was also in line with future business trends, whereby online shopping was gaining popularity at all age levels.
Meanwhile, to another supplemental question from Adly Zahari (PH-Bukit Katil) about profit margins using this method, as the products were expected to cost more, he said the state government was aware of this, but it was the medium latest in the business world.
“We cannot stop technological advances and we take very seriously that there is no profit, but the process of registering products on this platform depends on the agreement between the operator and the party that handles the sale,” he said. – Called
