SHANGHAI, 27 MAY 2024 – As part of continuous promotional efforts to promote Malaysia as a preferable tourist destination to the tourism industry players in China, Tourism Malaysia’s booth has launched at the ITB China 2024 at Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Center, taking place from 27 to 29 May 2024.

The Malaysian delegation is headed by the Honorable Dato Sri Tiong King Sing, Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture Malaysia together with Mr. Manoharan Periasamy, Director General of Tourism Malaysia.

Commenting on the participation, Dato Sri Tiong King Sing said, “Malaysia’s participation in ITB China for this year marks our commitment and sincerity to strengthen cooperation and deepen tourism and cultural exchanges through people-to-people exchanges, especially in the 50th anniversary of the diplomatic relations between China and Malaysia.”

“China is one of Penang's most important markets and it has always been one of the top three arrival countries in Penang. It is crucial to keep the publicity momentum going to draw travellers to Penang, thus Penang Global Tourism has organised the ‘Experience Penang’ roadshow in Guangzhou and Shenzhen which resulted in the increase of flight frequency from China. We hope our presence in ITB China with Penang industry partners will showcase the versatility of Penang being a world-class destination,” said Mr Ooi Chok Yan, CEO of Penang Global Tourism.

Internationale Tourismus-Börse (ITB) China is one of the largest tourism trade fairs in China and is at par with the major tourism tradeshow such as ITB Berlin and ITB Asia.

More than 800 potential buyers consisting of the largest travel agencies in China have been listed for this edition. This is the fourth time Malaysia has participated since the tradeshow’s inception in 2017.

China remains one of the top market sources for Malaysia and contributed 1,474,114 arrivals to the country last year compared to 212,603 Chinese tourists in 2022. Malaysia is currently targeting to receive 27.3 million international tourist arrivals with RM102.7 billion in tourism receipts, with 5 million arrivals targeted to be from the Chinese market.

Through its overseas offices in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, Tourism Malaysia continues to intensify promotions alongside travel agents and airlines. With the resumption and announcement of new international routes from Malaysia-based airlines and Chinabased airlines such as Air China, China Southern Airlines, China Eastern Airlines and Xiamen Air, there are currently 368 flights per week between China and Malaysia.

LANGKAWI: Nine Agro-technology parks operated by the Malaysian Agricultural Research and Development Institute (Mardi) have attracted over 600,000 visitors, generating an income of approximately RM22 million per year.

Mardi director-general Datuk Dr Mohamad Zabawi Abdul Ghani said the Langkawi and Cameron Highland Agro-technology Parks each draw around 45,000 visitors monthly, the highest among the parks.

"Current trends indicate that both parks are gradually recovering post Covid-19, each generating about RM2 million annually, offering some relief to Mardi.

"The Tanjung Karang Agro-technology Park in Selangor, on the other hand, earns RM20,000 per month," he told a press conference after opening the Green-Tourism replanting programme at the Langkawi Agro-technology Park today.

Besides Langkawi, Cameron Highlands, and Tanjung Karang, six other locations also host similar parks, namely Kuala Kangsar and Bagan Datuk in Perak, Cherating (Pahang), Kuala Linggi (Melaka), Jeram Pasu (Kelantan), and Kluang (Johor).

Commenting on the programme, Zabawi said 450 saplings, including 200 durian trees, were planted at the Langkawi Agro-technology Park to replace aging trees.

"Our goal is for each Mardi station nationwide to plant at least 800 trees in support of the Malaysian Greening Programme's 100 Million Tree-Planting Campaign 2021-2025 initiated by the government," Zabawi said.

IPOH: The Perak state government through the Perak State Agricultural Development Corporation (Perak SADC) has launched a portal catering to the agritourism industry in Malaysia.

State Tourism, Industry, Investment and Corridor Development Committee chairman Loh Sze Yee said the launch of the the first of its kind portal, ecodoor.my is a proactive step that has so far brought together more than 200 agritourism operators in promoting unique agritourism destinations in Perak.

He said the development of the ecodoor.my portal will enable visitors to purchase attractive agritourism packages, with a target of RM50,000 worth of sales of tourism packages until year end.

According to him, the state government hopes that the launch of the portal can increase the awareness of domestic and foreign tourists of the potential of agrotourism in Perak and help to achieve significant growth in the industry.

"The agrotourism portal is an important step in promoting the beauty and uniqueness of the state of Perak to the world, while maintaining and supporting the sustainable development of the local agricultural industry. 

"With this, Perak is expanding its appeal as an attractive and meaningful agrotourism destination for all types of tourists," he said in a press conference in conjunction with the launch of the portal at the Perak Tourism Office, yesterday. Also present was Perak SADC chief executive officer Datuk Yahanis Yahya.

Loh said the name of the portal was selected from a winning entry in a contest organised by Perak SADC over a period of three days starting May 22. The winner, Nurul Husna, won an agrotourism package.

Meanwhile, Yahanis said the portal, which provides a platform for agritourism operators to promote their products online, will allow them to reach more visitors and a wider market, especially foreign tourists.

Yahanis said that the portal can directly drive the economic growth of the agritourism sector as well as provide economic spillover benefits to the local community, especially after the encouraging response during the Perak Agrotourism Carnival 2024 organised by Perak SADC at Tasik Raban Resort, Lenggong recently .

"We welcome participation and support from all parties, including agritourism operators in an effort to create a successful agrotourism destination in Perak in line with the Visit Perak Year 2024.

"Perak SADC is committed to helping Tourism Perak in the development of agrotourism in line with the state government's desire to highlight the agrotourism industry as one of the main tourism products.

"This also empowers the Perak Sejahtera 2030 development plan proposed by Perak Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Saarani Mohamad through the flagship Food Security inititive under the Agrotourism Hub programme," he said.

In conjunction with the launch of the portal and the school holidays from May 25 to June 2,  a 50 per cent discount will be given to the first 50 people who purchase white water rafting, geopark adventure, and horseback ride activities in Selama, Gopeng and Ulu Piah here.

PATA inks MoUs with Sarawak Tourism Board, EATOF

 

The Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA) has signed new partnerships with Sarawak Tourism Board (STB) – to build closer cooperation and jointly promote sustainable tourism and resilience efforts in Sarawak – as well as with East Asia Inter-Regional Tourism Federation (EATOF) to establish an alliance for the activation of tourism in Asia-Pacific.

Both Memoranda of Understanding (MoU) were signed during the PATA Annual Summit 2024 (PAS 2024) on May 16 in Macao, China.

To ensure the success of sustainable tourism initiatives in Sarawak, PATA and STB will work together to enhance tourism resilience and sustainable tourism practices, introduce carbon offset projects in Sarawak, engage in joint advocacy and policy development activities, jointly organise events, and collaborate on green hospitality, urban sustainability and biodiversity conservation initiatives.

The first activity outlined in the MoU between STB and PATA is the Tourism Destination Resilience (TDR) capacity building programme, which took place in Kuching on May 20 and 21. Tourism officials received training on core modules of the TDR Programme, which covered topics such as risk assessment and management, crisis communication, adaptive capacity improvement, and diversification strategies, among others.

Following this, on May 23 and 24, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the tourism sector will join a workshop on financial and digital skills, aiming to empower them with greater financial literacy and leverage digitalisation to enhance competitiveness.

Following the TDR Programme, PATA and STB will engage in further activities including a new series of workshops focused on ecotourism and community-based tourism development, waste management and reduction, and the implementation of sustainability certifications and carbon neutrality activities.

EATOF, an international tourism association that strives to develop a tourism community across the East Asia region and provide a solid forum to come together in unity, will join forces with PATA to boost local tourism through various businesses, including mutual collaboration in tourism, youth engagement, big data analysis, and more.

The MoU outlines the target of fostering mutual participation in significant events hosted by each association (namely the EATOF General Assembly and the PATA Annual Summit), sharing exemplary sustainable practices, and facilitating collaborative initiatives spanning from educational endeavours to regional tourism programmes.

Formed in 2000, EATOF currently has 10 member provinces in 10 countries participating, with the EATOF Secretariat located in Gangwon State, South Korea.

KUALA LUMPUR: Batik Air has offered special deals to enhance the accessibility and convenience of domestic travel for its customers. The airline today unveiled a fares guaranteed promotion for all domestic routes until May 31.

Batik Air chief executive officer Datuk Chandran Rama Muthy said this is a testament to the strong demand for tourism across Malaysia. "We are thrilled to fly our guests to their preferred destinations with guaranteed fixed fares," he said in a statement.

Based on the figures by the Department of Statistic Malaysia in March this year, domestic tourism grew 16.1 per cent with a total of 54.3 million visitors in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to the same quarter of 2022.

Therefore, Batik Air said the initiative is part of its effort to encourage travellers to explore domestic destinations, ultimately driving tourism growth within the country.

Chandran said travellers are now increasingly favouring sustainable options, choosing accommodations and activities that reduce their carbon footprint.

The trend is expected to grow as travellers prioritise eco-friendly destinations and experiences. "We notice a surge in sustainable and wellness tourism this year. Thus, we are preparing to meet these evolving preferences, emphasising flexibility and agility," he added.
