陈振声:暂没法恢复大众旅游 本地旅游料掀裁员风

贸工部长陈振声指出,暂时无法恢复大众旅游活动,预计在未来数个月,本地旅游业将难逃裁员命运,而政府会帮助工友们寻找新的工作。 通过视讯出席旅游复苏对话会时,陈振声披露,为了应对有可能出现的旅游业裁员命运,政府将帮助相关企业进行服务或产品的重新设计工作,甚至还会帮助失业工友重新获得就业机会。前提是,这些工友们必须尽快获得重新培训,掌握新的技能,以便转行投入其他行业中。 他指出,虽然本地的市场不大,但是为国人提供就业机会,仍然是足够的。 他也补充,政府会在未来数个月和数年间,在等待旅游业复苏的同时进行投资。 旅游局昨日曾表示拨出4500万元,将和圣淘沙发展局、新加坡企业发展局以及国内旅游业者合作,鼓励国人在境内游玩和消费。 当局有意透过“重新探索新加坡”计划(SingapoRediscovers),将国人部分出行开销,转移国内消费。初期阶段约40商家将提供80景点、导览和酒店住宿等优惠。 旅游局局长陈建隆坦言,境外旅游恐怕短时间内不会显著恢复。预计航空旅游未来五年的复苏,都会落后于大部分的经济活动。 但是,陈振声今日的发言却似泼了一盆冷水,可见冠状病毒疫情对国内旅游业的影响,复苏工作还是长远工作。
