THE number of Malaysia-bound tourists from China and Taiwan has dipped significantly following the two Malaysia Airlines (MAS) incidents and the abduction of tourists - including a Chinese national - from Sabah by brigands from the Philippines, Malaysia's parliament was told on Wednesday.
Tourism minister Nazri Aziz, in a written reply to a Barisan Nasional coalition backbencher, said the number of Chinese tourists between January and July this year fell 11.8 per cent - from more than a million in 2013 to 997,370.
