(ECNS) -- Malaysia will give group tourists from China visa exemptions from October 1 to March 31 next year as a measure to boost the economy, Prime Minister Najib Razak announced on Monday.

Najib said the country will allocate 120 million yuan for tourism promotion in ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) countries, China and India, and another 1.6 billion yuan for infrastructure construction, including a national museum, monuments and park repairs.

Electronic visas will be granted to tourists from major source countries, he added.

The price of group tours to Malaysia will drop by 10 percent, according to travel agencies.

The move will no doubt draw more tourists to Malaysia, said Xu Xiaolei, publicity officer of China CYTS Tours Holding Co, a major travel service provider in China.
