PERTH, August 29 –  Tourism Malaysia embarks on a roadshow to Australia from 21 to 27 August 2022 to reconnect and create new partnerships with travel trade partners in enhancing opportunities to boost tourist arrivals to Malaysia. Headed by Mr Noor Azlan Abu Bakar, Senior Deputy Director, International Promotion Division (Americas, Europe, & Oceania) Tourism Malaysia, the delegation consists of Pahang and Sabah state tourism boards, five travel operators, hoteliers and two medical tourism industry players.   The Malaysian sellers and Australian buyers will participate in the travel mart session, destination presentation, and networking dinner in the cities of Perth, Melbourne and Sydney. The roadshow is organised by Tourism Malaysia and supported by Malaysia Airlines. Mr Noor Azlan said: “We are excited to re-establish networking after a two-year hiatus to drive travel interest to Malaysia. This roadshow presents a platform for Malaysian partners to share their latest offerings.

We look forward to strengthening business relationships with our Australian counterparts. Australia remains a key market for Malaysia. In 2019, we welcomed 368,281 arrivals from Australia, and more than 80 per cent of Australian tourists came to Malaysia for holidays. Malaysia has relaxed the entry procedures for fully-vaccinated travellers without requirements to undergo quarantine or pre-departure and on-arrival COVID-19 tests, including children aged 17 and below.

Travel insurance is also not a prerequisite for foreigners entering Malaysia, and inbound travellers no longer need to fill in the Traveller’s Card on the country’s contact tracing app, MySejahtera. Malaysia’s latest attractions include the newly opened outdoor theme park in the highlands – Genting SkyWorld, and the magnificent Merdeka 118 Tower in Kuala Lumpur, currently standing as the world’s second-tallest building. There are currently 121 weekly direct flights from Australia to Malaysia via Malaysia Airlines, Air Asia and Batik Air, with a seating capacity of 31,600.

Tourism Malaysia, in a statement, said the launch of Malaysia Week and Travel Mart will take place in Seoul, and the Malaysia Week promotion will be held in Nami Island, while several travel marts sessions will be conducted in Busan, Daegu, Gwangju and Daejon.

"The mission aims to attract more international tourists, newcomers and regulars alike, to further boost the economy for a strong rebound in the tourism industry since Malaysia and South Korea enjoy air connectivity via Malaysia Airlines, Asia X, Korean Air, and Jin Air,” the statement said.

According to Tourism Malaysia, the roadshow headed by the Deputy Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture Datuk Seri Dr Santhara Kumar brings together Malaysia’s tourism fraternity consisting of travel associations, hoteliers, product owners, as well as government and private agencies.

The statement added that tourists from South Korea ranked among the top 10 tourist arrivals and per capita expenditure, besides recording a longer average length of stay before the Covid-19 pandemic.

Malaysia received 673,065 tourist arrivals from South Korea in 2019, followed by 119,750 in 2020 and 3,028 in 2021. - Bernama

Tourism Malaysia takes roadshows deeper into the Middle East

Tourism Malaysia has continued its pursuit of Middle Eastern travellers following the conclusion of Arabian Travel Market, with a series of roadshows in Iran, Oman and Qatar from May 13 to 21.

Travellers from the region have traditionally been long-staying and among the top five spenders in terms of per capita expenditure, making them an important source for Malaysia.

Led by Tourism Malaysia’s director-general Zainuddin Abdul Wahab, the roadshows in the capital cities of Tehran, Muscat and Doha bring together Malaysia’s tourism fraternity comprising travel agents, hoteliers, product owners, state tourism bodies and medical tourism industry players.

Zainuddin said in a press statement: “As we welcome more West Asia travellers back to Malaysia, it is a timely occasion to strengthen our partnership with international airlines such as Qatar Airways, Oman Air and Mahan Air, which offer direct flights to Kuala Lumpur.

”With an exciting line-up of new attractions to be explored, including the newly opened Genting Skyworlds Theme Park, the world’s second tallest skyscraper, Merdeka 118, and the Sunway Resort in Kuala Lumpur that had just reopened after a once-in-a-generation transformation, we are thrilled to welcome international travellers worldwide to experience our country again.”

Apart from formal briefings and presentations on Malaysia’s tourism industry, travel trade partners are also invited to travel mart sessions and networking dinners.

Uzaidi Udanis, president of Malaysia Inbound Tourism Association, said: “It is important to build on this market and for Tourism Malaysia to collaborate with Middle Eastern airlines on promotional activities as tourists from the Middle East are mostly high-yield and (stay for) more than five days. It is also important to showcase new attractions, so outbound agents from there know we have not been stagnant in the last two years.”
