Langkawi’s loss of two international flights in May, alongside the suspension of services from Bengaluru and Dubai, contributed to a year-on-year decline of around 200,000 tourist arrivals in 1H2026.
Singapore is currently the only international gateway with direct scheduled flights to the island, though China Southern Airlines will commence three weekly services from Guangzhou in December.
Waffa Wahida Zainol, manager of the Tourism Division at Langkawi Development Authority (LADA), said the island is working to rebuild and diversify its air connectivity. Plans include 20 direct charter flights from Warsaw between November and March 2027, alongside discussions with Batik Air to operate charters from Central Asia.
To encourage more services, LADA offers marketing support of up to US$20,000 to operators committing to at least 10 flights per season. The authority is also partnering with Malaysia Airports and Tourism Malaysia to attract carriers from China and India, including ongoing talks with Air India Express for a Delhi route.
Despite current airlift constraints, delegates at PATA Travel Mart 2026 noted that Langkawi maintains strong appeal through its natural attractions, UNESCO Geopark status, and quality accommodation.
Tricia Loh, country manager for Malaysia and Singapore at Discova, highlighted strong interest from France – supported by direct Malaysia Airlines flights between Kuala Lumpur and Paris – as well as Central Europe and the Baltics. Discova is also exploring combined itineraries linking the island with Kuala Lumpur and Penang for southern Chinese travellers.
Loh noted that European visitors typically stay four to five nights, attracted by year-round good weather and spacious accommodation.
The island’s resort sector is also expanding with the upcoming opening of the 251-room Hilton Burau Bay Langkawi Resort.
Meanwhile, the Malaysian Inbound Tourism Association is organising
an October familiarisation trip for Chinese event planners, association
leaders, and corporate buyers to highlight Langkawi’s business events
potential.

KUCHING — Tourism Malaysia continues to earn international acclaim after securing a PATA Gold Award 2026 at this year's official presentation ceremony organised by the Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA). The award was presented yesterday at the PATA Gold Awards 2026 Gala Dinner, held in conjunction with the PATA Travel Mart (PTM) 2026 in Kuching, Sarawak.
The award was proudly received by Mr Mohd Akbal Setia, Deputy Director General (Promotions), Tourism Malaysia. Presented in the "Marketing – Travel Video" category, the Visit Malaysia 2026 campaign video, titled "Surreal Experiences", highlights the essence of Malaysia’s unique tourism offerings, including its diverse attractions, rich culture, and authentic travel experiences.
The three-minute promotional video encapsulates Malaysia’s unity, harmony, warmth, and cultural diversity. Set to an uplifting soundtrack by renowned local artiste Ernie Zakri, the visual narrative is enriched by soulful lyrics rendered in the diverse languages of Malaysia's multiracial society, a musical celebration of the nation’s enduring harmony. Since its launch in 2025, the video has been featured at major international travel shows, exhibitions, roadshows, and sales missions worldwide to promote Malaysia as a premier global destination.
This recognition comes amidst strong international tourism performance, with Malaysia recording 21.2 million visitor arrivals in the first half of 2026, reflecting a 2.5 per cent growth compared to 20.6 million in the same period in 2025. Key promotional videos such as “Surreal Experiences” play a vital role in sustaining this growth as Tourism Malaysia works towards its target of arrivals for the Visit Malaysia 2026–2027 campaign.
The PATA Gold Awards recognise excellence in tourism marketing and sustainable initiatives across two primary categories: Marketing and Sustainability & Social Responsibility. This year, winners across each category were selected by an independent panel of 25 international judges, with 27 awards presented alongside Grand Title Winners for best-of-show entries.
PTM 2026 offers networking and contracting opportunities to help travel and tourism organisations access key decision-makers, meet new clients, expand market reach, establish new relationships, and consolidate existing business partnerships, further reinforcing its position as a premier B2B travel trade event in the Asia-Pacific region.
The Malaysian sellers comprised six member organisations from the
PATA Malaysia Chapter: Malai Adventure Sdn. Bhd., Langkawi Development
Authority (LADA), Langkawi MICE Holidays & Tours Sdn. Bhd., FIC Hospitality
Sdn. Bhd., World Express (M) Sdn. Bhd., and U2 Travel & Tours Sdn. Bhd.

MANILA — Tourism Malaysia has successfully organised the Sales Mission to the Philippines 2026, taking place from 16 to 23 August 2026, featuring a Destination Seminar and Travel Mart across three major cities in the Philippines, namely Manila, Davao, and Cebu, as part of its ongoing efforts to strengthen tourism cooperation, highlight Malaysia’s diverse tourism offerings and travel destinations, and increase visitor arrivals from the Filipino market.
The multi-city sales mission will connect 21 Malaysian tourism industry stakeholders, comprising state tourism organisations, travel agents, tour operators, airlines, online travel agencies, and hotel and accommodation providers, with Filipino tourism partners and 340 buyers through business-to-business (B2B) meetings, networking sessions, and destination presentations. Malaysian delegates will also engage directly with Filipino travel trade representatives through pre-arranged business-matching sessions.
The programme is expected to provide an effective platform for Malaysian tourism suppliers to showcase their latest travel packages and tourism offerings, including vibrant cities, pristine islands, world-class shopping experiences, family-friendly attractions, rich culture, diverse culinary experiences, and internationally recognised Muslim-friendly tourism facilities and travel experiences. This helps foster new business collaborations and reinforce existing partnerships with Filipino travel trade partners.
Mr Lee Thai Hung, Deputy Director General (Promotions II) of Tourism Malaysia, said, "The Philippines continues to be a promising source market for Malaysia, supported by strong air connectivity, close cultural ties, and increasing demand for regional travel. Through this sales mission, Tourism Malaysia remains committed to strengthening our partnership with the Filipino travel industry while positioning Malaysia as the preferred destination for leisure, business events, shopping, nature, culture, and Muslim-friendly tourism in conjunction with Visit Malaysia 2026–2027."
The Philippines remains an important market for Malaysia within the ASEAN region. As of June 2026, Malaysia recorded a total of 299,633 visitor arrivals from the Philippines, marking a 1.13 per cent increase from 296,298 visitor arrivals during the corresponding period in 2025. Air connectivity between Malaysia and the Philippines remains robust, with approximately 59 weekly flights offering more than 11,615 seats. These flights connect Kuala Lumpur, Kota Kinabalu, and other Malaysian destinations with Filipino cities, including Manila and Cebu.
Tourism
Malaysia extends its sincere appreciation to all Malaysian and Filipino tourism
stakeholders, airlines, and travel trade partners for their continuous support
and collaboration in driving visitor arrivals to Malaysia. Through stronger
industry partnerships and sustained promotional efforts, Tourism Malaysia
remains confident of achieving the objectives of Visit Malaysia 2026–2027 while
further strengthening tourism cooperation between the two countries.

Executive board meetings and industry awards were also scheduled alongside the main trade show floor.
Organisers noted that holding the event outside traditional regional hubs helps disperse economic benefits to emerging destinations across South-east Asia.
Sri Haji Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah, minister for tourism, creative industry and performing arts Sarawak, said: “Hosting PATA Travel Mart 2026 in Sarawak is an important opportunity for us to strengthen our engagement with the international tourism community and contribute to the future growth of tourism across the Asia-Pacific.
“As we grow the sector, our focus remains on creating meaningful economic opportunities, strengthening our tourism industry and ensuring that development continues to benefit our communities while safeguarding the cultural and natural assets that make Sarawak distinctive.”
“PATA
Travel Mart is about building valuable, quality business connections that
extend beyond the event and the opportunities they create that can grow into
lasting partnerships,” added PATA CEO Noor Ahmad Hamid. “By taking PTM beyond
the region’s traditional gateways, we are deliberately opening international
markets to smaller and emerging destinations, helping disperse tourism, broaden
economic opportunities and show that the next generation of tourism growth can
come from beyond the established hubs.”
