The Director of Tourism Malaysia India Manoharan Periasamy who received the award on behalf of Malaysia said the award was a significant recognition of Malaysia’s accomplishment in promoting the country as one of the leading family destinations in the Southeast Asia region.
“The rapid development of various theme parks and children entertainment centres in Malaysia such as Legoland, Puteri Harbour Family Theme Park, Kidzania, and i-City, to name a few, is a testament to the fact,” he said.
Hosted by the world’s leading travel and lifestyle magazine, the final winners were chosen by the readers after the nominees were shortlisted by an expert panel. “Lonely Planet recommendations are the most sought after by travellers and to be chosen by their readers makes this award even more prestigious,” he added.
The Lonely Planet award is a significant achievement for Malaysia, a country that prides itself for being the perfect family destination. Be it shopping, adventure, theme parks or even golf, Malaysia is one place where the preferences of every member of the family are taken care of.
