NEW DELHI, 30 JANUARY
2018 - Tourism Malaysia is promoting Malaysia in India, in
conjunction with the South Asia Travel and Tourism Exchange (SATTE 2018)
from today to 2 February 2018.
The three-day programme will be held at the
Pragati Maidan Convention Centre and it will be an opportunity for buyers and
sellers to network with each other and develop new tourism products and packages.
YBhg. Dato’ Dr. Siew Ka Wei, Chairman of Tourism Malaysia, is leading
the Malaysian delegation comprising of 8 tour agents, 8 hotel operators, 6
product owners, 2 airline operators, 2 services providers and several officials from Melaka State,
Langkawi Island and Tourism Malaysia to promote Malaysia as a preferred tourist
destination.
This year is the 24th year of SATTE since it was first organised in 1994, and it
is regarded as one of the largest travel trade exhibitions in the South Asia
region, attracting hundreds of trade visitors from all over the world.
Malaysia’s presence at SATTE
this year is an early preparation for the promotion of Visit Malaysia Year 2020
in the region. This promotional effort is expected to increase the number of
Indian tourists to Malaysia significantly, through promoting a greater
awareness of Malaysia as an ideal holiday destination, as well as fostering
greater cooperation between tour operators and members of the tourism
fraternity.
India is one of the top ten
markets for Malaysia, with a total of 638,578 tourists recorded in 2016. Last
year, from January to October, total arrivals from India was at 449,559
arrivals.
