according to regions: Americas, Europe, and Oceania.
Through this event, Tourism Malaysia is looking forward to
discussing possible collaborations and partnerships by leveraging the B2B

of border reopening.
Following the anticipation, Dato’ Haji Zainuddin Abdul Wahab,
the Director-General of Tourism Malaysia highlights the efficiency of
Malaysia’s vaccination rollout: “We are proud to announce that more than 95% of
our adult population have completed their vaccination. Meanwhile, more than 79%
of our adolescents are fully vaccinated nationwide.”
“COVID-19 will soon be treated as endemic and it is time for us
to accept that the virus is here to stay and we must learn to live with it. In
this regard, we have to be steadfast in our strategy and no longer wait for
this outbreak to be over,” adds Dato’ Haji Zainuddin.
The government has launched its first international travel
bubble with Langkawi as the pilot destination, where fully-vaccinated
international tourists are welcome starting 15 November 2021. Following that,
the government has also announced the preparation of a Vaccinated Travel Lane
(VTL) between Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) and Singapore's Changi
Airport which will commence on 29 November 2021. Malaysia aims to reopen its
international borders by 1 January 2022.
