16 homestay operators received certification of excellent quality assurance under the Malaysia Tourism Excellence (MaTEx) Business Certification Programme by Tourism Productivity Nexus (TPN).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supported by the Malaysia Productivity Corporation (MPC), the certificate presentation event was held virtually on 17th<\/sup> June 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the event, all 16 recipients also received the Certificate of Compliance with SOP COVID-19 Guidelines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The MaTEx Business Certification Programme certifies homestay operators based on satisfactory fulfilment of the industry-level standard for homestays comprising 181 indicators, while Adopt and Adhere Certificate of Compliance is awarded to homestay operators who score 90% from 69 indicators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The certification process is fully conducted online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MaTEx Business Certification Programme is the first industry-level certification scheme in the country which set the entry-level requirements for tourism products and services in Malaysia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The programme was officially launched by the former Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture on 27 November 2019, and since then 192 tourism businesses have been certified under the programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From 192 tourism businesses, 22 recipients are from Sarawak and has received certification under the program since 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2020, MaTEx went through the transformation phase in shifting the certification process from the conventional face-to-face approach to the online method due to restriction in movements imposed by the MCO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TPN is strengthening the efforts to enhance the overall MaTEx certification scheme, particularly the benefits certified companies will get.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
