ERL Collaborates With Tourism Malaysia To Support VISIT MALAYSIA YEAR 2026

 

Putrajaya, 20th November 2024 – Express Rail Link Sdn Bhd (ERL) and Tourism Malaysia today signed a Memorandum of Collaboration (MOC) to signify its collaboration to promote Malaysia for Visit Malaysia 2026 (VM 2026).

Through the MOC, ERL and Tourism Malaysia will collaborate to promote tourism and the KL TravelPass to global audiences. KL Travel Pass is an all-in-one transport ticket that combines KLIA Ekspres service and 2-day unlimited train rides on LRT, MRT and KL Monorail lines. By leveraging their combined strengths, both ERL and Tourism Malaysia will promote and drive awareness of the KL TravelPass and other ERL product offers on Tourism Malaysia’s various digital channels such as website, social media platforms, digital screens and digital ads.

Present at the MOC Signing Ceremony were Datuk Manoharan Periasamy, Director General of Tourism Malaysia; Noormah Mohd Noor, Chief Executive Officer of ERL and Mohd Amirul Rizal Abdul Rahim, Director of Advertising & Digital Division of Tourism Malaysia.

“We would like to thank Tourism Malaysia for their endless support towards ERL. Now that we have signed the MOC, we’re excited to begin promoting KL TravelPass to tourists leading up to VM2026. From the moment they land in KLIA Terminal 1 or 2, travellers are able to immediately use KL TravelPass to seamlessly explore Kuala Lumpur, eliminating the need and hassle for separate travel cards,” said Noormah.

In addition to the KL TravelPass, tourists can also enjoy greater savings if they travel to Kuala Lumpur in groups with the ERL’s Family Package and Group Saver plans, and experience the convenience of door-to-door airport transfers directly from hotels to the airport with ERL’s VIP Service.

Datuk Manoharan Periasamy, Director-General of Tourism Malaysia, emphasised the importance of seamless accessibility in enhancing the tourist experience in Malaysia. He stated, "Seamless accessibility is crucial for ensuring that tourists can fully immerse themselves in Malaysia’s offerings without the hassle of navigating transportation hurdles. From the moment they arrive, they should feel well-connected to our vibrant attractions, which is what this partnership aims to achieve."

He added, "The collaboration between Tourism Malaysia and ERL is a testament to the valuable synergy between the public and private sectors. By working together through joint initiatives and activities, we aim to further promote Malaysia's diverse tourism offerings and position the country as a top travel destination. Through the non-exclusive partnership with ERL, we look forward to leveraging their expertise in transportation to enhance tourist convenience and support the aspirations of Visit Malaysia 2026."

KL TravelPass is available on Single and Return trip on the KLIA Ekspres service. For more information on KL TravelPass and ERL’s latest offers and promotions, visit www.KLIAekspres.com.
