SHAH ALAM, 15 JANUARY 2024 –
The Ministry of Tourism, Arts, and Culture through its agency Tourism Malaysia
in collaboration with Islamic Tourism Centre (ITC), Malaysian Association of
Hotels (MAH), and Malaysian Association of Hotel Owners (MAHO), proudly
announces the launch of the highly anticipated MY Ramadan Experience packages.
This immersive 4D3N or 3D2N programme offers an unparalleled opportunity to
immerse oneself in the vibrant festivities of Ramadan in Malaysia.
Representing a collective effort, the programme harnesses the
expertise of Tourism Malaysia, MAH, and MAHO to curate an extensive list of
hotels offering enticing accommodation packages. These meticulously crafted
packages include a complimentary Iftar for two, ensuring that participating
hotels possess the prestigious "Halal Kitchen" certification from the
Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (JAKIM).
MY Ramadan Experience showcases a diverse array of highlights
that invite participants to explore Ramadan bazaars, indulge in Iftar at major
mosques, engage in government/NGO-led Iftar programmes, experience the
excitement of Hari Raya sales events, and partake in hands-on activities such
as cooking bubur lambuk.
With a focus on both local and international tourists, the
programme aims to highlight the allure of visiting Malaysia during this holy
month. The vibrant cities of Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya, and Selangor take centre
stage, offering an unforgettable cultural experience.
In a concerted promotion of the programme, Tourism Malaysia has
published a meticulously crafted brochure that showcases the diverse offerings
of the unique 'MY Ramadan Experience 2024' and also highlights specially
curated packages developed in collaboration with travel agents and product
operators.
YB Deputy Minister Khairul Firdaus Akbar Khan expresses profound
enthusiasm, stating, "Malaysia, with its rich Islamic heritage, diverse
traditions, and warm hospitality, stands as an ideal destination for those
seeking a meaningful Ramadan experience. We cordially invite tourists from
around the world to experience the beauty of Malaysia during the holy month of
Ramadan—a time of deep spirituality, cultural richness, and warm
hospitality."
Dato' Dr. Ammar Abd Ghapar, Director General of Tourism
Malaysia, echoed the sentiments of YB Deputy Minister, stating, "The MY
Ramadan Experience packages signify our commitment to providing unique and
enriching cultural experiences for tourists. We invite tourists to immerse
themselves in the vibrant tapestry of our culture and make lasting memories
during this sacred month.”
“As we prepare for the much-awaited Visit Malaysia 2026,
industry players and stakeholders are welcome to develop tourism packages that
showcase Malaysia’s cultural diversity, Halal food, and unique experiences
alongside tourism and hospitality products and services that warmly welcome
tourists from all over the world. Aside from attracting Muslim travellers, we
can also introduce our unique Islamic celebrations, customs, heritage and
experience to eager non-Muslim tourists,” urge Nizran Noordin, Director-General
of MOTAC’s Islamic Tourism Centre (ITC).
Staying true to their words in championing Islamic Tourism in
Malaysia, ITC along with the Malaysian Inbound Chinese Association (MICA) are
hosting the ongoing Imam Fam Tour: Discover Muslim-Friendly Malaysia, taking
place from 10 until 16 January 2024. A total of 35 Imams from 14 provinces of
China are taken to familiarise themselves with the country’s hospitality and
cultural diversity and share their experiences with their respective
communities back home.
