HONG KONG, Nov. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Agroforestry Group is thrilled that starting on Monday, November 29th Malaysia and Singapore will begin a vaccinated travel lane (VTL) between Changi Airport and Kuala Lumpur International Airport. Under the VTL, fully vaccinated travellers from Singapore can fly into Malaysia without the need for any quarantine or stay home notice.
As a result of flights finally resuming Agroforestry Group is pleased to announce that it has started accepting tour reservations for its plantations in Johor.
Mr. Paul Martin, Agroforestry Group’s MD said: "We are delighted that air travel without the need for quarantine is beginning. Singapore is a key strategic market for us but we have been unable to proceed with a number of our plans since travel restrictions began. The opening of the travel lane allows us to finally welcome Singapore based visitors and enables us to ramp up our operations."
Agroforestry Group’s plantations in Johor have been operating as per normal since the coronavirus pandemic began. Tour visits however have been closed to international travellers since last year. Mr. Martin stated that flight and hotel bookings have surged since the VTL announcement and recommends interested visitors reach out to the company to make arrangements as soon as possible.
The Malaysia-Singapore VTL was announced in a joint statement by both countries on Monday, November 8th. It also marks Malaysia’s first scheme that allows international visitors to enter Malaysia without the need for quarantine. The reopening covers only air travel at the moment but land travel via the Causeway or Second Link is expected to follow in the coming months.
