Malaysia Fest 2026 In Singapore: Tourism Malaysia Unveils Durian Packages “Klang Valley Edition”

 

SINGAPORE — Capitalising on the peak of the mid-year durian season, Tourism Malaysia has officially unveiled its Durian Packages (Klang Valley Edition). The initiative was launched by the Deputy  Minister of Agriculture & Food Security Malaysia, The Honourable Datuk Chan Foong Hin together with the newly appointed High Commissioner of Malaysia to Singapore, Her Excellency Datin Paduka Anizan Siti Hajjar Adnin, during the 9th edition of Malaysia Fest held in Singapore.

Timed to coincide with the peak harvest of the "King of Fruits", the Klang Valley Edition combines Malaysia's renowned durian experiences with the vibrant attractions of the nation's capital. Visitors to Malaysia Fest 2026 can discover thoughtfully curated itineraries that seamlessly blend modern city experiences with authentic visits to durian orchards located just outside bustling Kuala Lumpur. From shopping at world-class malls and exploring iconic city landmarks to indulging in premium, freshly harvested Musang King durians at nearby orchards, the packages offer travellers the best of both worlds.

Mr Mohd Amirul Rizal Abdul Rahim, Director General of Tourism Malaysia, said, “Durian has evolved from just a seasonal fruit into a compelling travel motivator. With the Klang Valley Edition, we aim to show travellers that they do not have to choose between a cosmopolitan city holiday and an authentic, farm-to-table durian feast. You can easily shop at world-class malls in the morning and be cracking open a fresh, naturally fallen Musang King in an orchard by the afternoon. We anticipate this will provide a significant boost to our tourism arrivals from Singapore, especially for the Visit Malaysia 2026 (VM2026) campaign.”

Sabah aims to become a premier durian destination

 

KOTA KINABALU: Sabah hopes to become one of the durian tourism spots in Malaysia to help farmers and entrepreneurs boost their economy.

Sabah Durian and Tropical Fruit Planters Association (MaSDA) have expressed hope that Sabah will be included in the 2024 durian tourism packages by Tourism Malaysia.

To date, the durian packages were highlighted in various destinations in Perlis, Kedah, Penang, Perak, Selangor, Pahang, and Johor.

MaSDA president Duane Evans said Sabah's durian remained hidden due to a lack of promotion.

"To make us visible, we organised the Durian and Coffee Festival in Keningau last year to raise awareness and attract visitors," said Duane.

Following the success of the festival, which saw about 5,000 to 6,000 visitors including foreign tourists, MaSDA has invited Tourism Malaysia to explore the durian farms in Keningau, Tenom, Papar, and Tamparuli.

Its director of package development Mohd Roslan Abdullah and his team conducted the inspection.

They inspected Bukit Durian in Kampung Ponindukan, which offers a stunning view of Keningau, he said.

The Durian Valley, managed by Tracey Liew, offers picturesque views of the durian orchard and other tropical fruits, he said.

In Tenom, the Baxter Farm owned by Gerald Baxter boasts a modern agricultural concept.

He said that the main durian varieties include Musang King and Black Thorn, in addition to a collection of Borneo's durian species and indigenous fruits, offering visitors an educational experience on tropical fruits.

The team also visited the Tenom Tropical Fruits Farm which belongs to Victor Lim, who in recent years diversified his fruit plantation, including the latest addition of durians.

The Sugar Hill Farm in Papar offers a traditional lifestyle experience, combining a fruit orchard with a farmhouse, he said.

The Tamparuli Durian Farm at Kampung Ruhiang is a hilly terrain farm requiring visitors to hike to witness the breathtaking Mount Kinabalu.

"We hope that Tourism Malaysia will launch the durian packages in Sabah, so that we can showcase the state's uniqueness," said Duane.

Tourism Malaysia Sabah deputy director Trecey J Tojuka stated that the familiarisation trip demonstrates strong synergy among MaSDA, Tourism Malaysia, the Malaysian Association of Tour and Travel Agents (Matta) Sabah Chapter, the Sabah Tourist Guide Association, and the Sabah Tourism Board in promoting Sabah as the next prominent durian tourism destination in Malaysia.

"Establishing partnerships with local tour operators and other tourism organisations enhances the development of specialised agrotourism packages, contributing to attracting tourists to Sabah both locally and globally," she said.

Plan to make Sabah Durian Tourism spot

 

Trecey (middle), Johnny (sixth right), representatives from TM Sabah, Motac and travel tour operators during the exploratory visit.

KOTA KINABALU: Sabah may soon become one of Malaysia’s official Durian Tourism destinations as there is massive potential for such agrotourism initiatives in the State.

Tourism Malaysia Sabah Deputy Director Trecey J Tojuka said this was evidenced by the success of the Durian and Coffee Festival held last year in Keningau, which drew some 5,000 to 6,000 visitors including foreign tourists. As such, TM Sabah initiated an exploratory visit to two farms in Tamparuli and Papar respectively on Friday, to study the Durian Tourism potential alongside the State Tourism, Arts and Culture Ministry (Motac Sabah) and the Malaysia Association of Tour and Travel Agents (Matta) Sabah Chapter.

The visit also follows the Sabah Durian and Tropical Fruit Planters Association’s (Masda) move to ask TM Sabah for advice last year on how the durian farms registered under the association can be packaged into an agrotourism product.

“(There is) huge potential in durian tourism coupled with the fact that Sabah has not been known as a Durian Tourism Destination before, compared to other States in West Malaysia, such as Johor Bahru, Pahang, Penang and Melaka.

“This is the opportune time to create a new tourism package with the support of local Sabah agents and TM to assist in promoting Sabah as one of the Durian Tourism destinations, targeting both domestic and foreign tourists, especially the China Market.

“But of course, we need to inspect the farms of its readiness. That is why we seek support from the Matta Sabah Chapter for package development and also Motac Sabah for infrastructure assistance,” she said.

In the same vein, Masda Deputy Chairman Johnny Ting said durian tourism yields a promising market and can be a lucrative addition to existing tourism products in Sabah, drawing in more tourists. Johnny, who owns the 15-acre Durian Tamparuli Farm, said he has received nearly 2,000 visitors since he opened up his farm casually to visitors two years ago. “We did not do any promotions, everything happened by word of mouth. The biggest group I have ever hosted was 70 people, who could eat about 100 kg of durian. The most number of groups I have ever hosted in a day was nine groups. “I have about 338 trees here, of which 60 per cent are Musang King. We have six different varieties, including the A14 (Kinabalu King) which is one of the very premium and precious durian varieties to us here in Sabah.

“According to our research, Chinese tourists like to eat durian, as well as West Malaysians and Bruneians,” he said during the exploratory visit. He said the association hopes that TM Sabah and STB could recognise durian tourism as a new tourism product, in addition to other activities such as shopping and sightseeing at the islands and mountains. “We try to promote durian as the identity to attract people to farms. Other tropical fruits, such as langsat or watermelon, do not have that kind of power to attract tourists. We want to tap into durian tourism which has been promoted in West Malaysia. The response from the public has been very good. “Not only this helps farmers, but this will also give travel agents more products to promote. At the same time we want to connect community-based tourism.

“When you have community-based tourism in a certain village, and there are also durian and tropical fruit farms there, this would give tourists more reasons to visit that place and more value for their money,” he said. As such, Johnny hoped that Durian Tourism packages could be formed and launched as an official tourism product by TM and Motac Sabah.

“We also hope STB and TM could include this in their website, at least when visitors search about Sabah, this new product is on the list,” he said.

Memperkasakan pelancongan agro Selangor melalui aktiviti berasaskan komuniti

 

PETALING JAYA: Pelancongan agro dan pelancongan berasaskan komuniti merupakan antara fokus utama negeri Selangor bagi memperkasakan industri pelancongan untuk tahun 2023.

Melalui amanat Menteri Besar Selangor, Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari ketika pembentangan belanjawan negeri Selangor bagi tahun 2023, kerajaan Negeri Selangor akan menyalurkan sebanyak RM 500,000 bagi pembangunan pelancongan agro di bawah Pelan Transformasi Agro Selangor atau PeTA yang menjadi teras kepada sektor pertanian negeri Selangor.

Pelancongan Agro Sungai Panjang di Sabak Bernam merupakan antara produk pelancongan agro baharu, yang diperkenalkan bagi membangunkan ekonomi di daerah tersebut.

Dikendalikan oleh Sungai Panjang Agro Tourism Sdn Bhd (SPAT) dan dikelola oleh Persatuan Integrasi Komuniti Usahawan Muda (PIKOM), inisiatif ini tertumpu kepada peningkatan sosio-ekonomi penduduk setempat khusnya golongan belia dan wanita di Sungai Panjang dan kawasan sekitarnya.

Pelancong boleh merasai sendiri aktiviti berkonsepkan pelancongan berasaskan komuniti seperti lawatan ke kebun-kebun yang diusahakan oleh lebih 25 pengusaha ladang komersial (agro), di samping melawat kehijauan sawah padi dengan berbasikal dan menaiki trem atau dengan menggunakan ATV yang disediakan oleh pengusaha inap desa berdekatan.

Pelancongan Agro melalui aktiviti berkonsepkan pelancongan berasaskan komuniti bukan sahaja mampu memberikan pengalaman melancong yang menarik kepada para pelancong, malah berpotensi meningkatkan ekonomi penduduk setempat, seperti lawatan ke Industri Kecil Sederhana, di mana pelancong boleh mempelajari proses pembuatan kerepek, di samping merasai kehidupan masyarakat Jawa dan Banjar melalui makanan tradisi yang terdapat di kedai-kedai dan restoran yang tersedia di sekitar kawasan Sungai Panjang.

Keberhasilan pelancongan agro ini dapat dilihat dengan pengiktirafan Ladang Melon Selangor (MeloSel) yang pertama di Sungai Besar, Sabak Bernam oleh Tengku Permaisuri Norashikin binti Abdul Rahman.

Ladang Melon Selangor di Sungai Besar ini merupakan Ladang Melon Selangor yang pertama dikomersialkan dengan menggunakan kaedah pertanian pintar, di mana julung kalinya telah dibuka kepada orang awam pada tahun ini.

Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Tourism Selangor, Azrul Shah Mohamad dalam satu  kenyataan berkata, sebagai agensi promosi pelancongan rasmi Negeri Selangor, Tourism Selangor amat menggalakkan penglibatan komuniti dan agensi-agensi dalam memperkasa pelancongan agro di negeri Selangor.

Sepanjang tahun 2022, Tourism Selangor telah bekerjasama dengan 21 Hos Komuniti Selangor dan 6 Pihak Berkuasa Tempatan bagi Program Hos Komuniti Setempat Selangor.

Pelancongan berasaskan komuniti dijangka mampu meningkatkan industri pelancongan di negeri Selangor dengan pembawakan konsep yang berbeza kepada para pelancong, bukan sahaja dari dalam negara malah luar negara juga.

Dengan penglibatan pelbagai agensi dan Pihak Berkuasa Tempatan bagi pembangunan dan promosi pelancongan agro di negeri Selangor seperti Sungai Panjang Agro Tourism (SPAT), pelancongan agro melalui aktiviti berkonsepkan pelancongan berasaskan komuniti dijangka mampu dipacu bagi meningkatkan ekonomi negeri Selangor, khususnya bagi sektor pertanian, pertenakan, Industri Kecil Sederhana dan pelbagai lagi.

Selain daripada Sungai Panjang Agro Tourism, terdapat juga Persatuan Kemajuan Pelancongan Sekinchan, Persatuan Kebajikan Rakyat Mukim Dengkil, Homestay Sungai Sireh di Kuala Selangor, Homestay Hj. Dorani dan Homestay Banghuris yang berpotensi membangunkan pelancongan agro di Negeri Selangor.

SANTHARA Kumar (enam dari kanan) melambung buah durian sebagai gimik replika durian terbesar mendapat pengiktirafan MBOR di Bandar Hilir, Melaka. - UTUSAN/AMRAN MULUP

MELAKA: Melaka mencatat satu lagi sejarah apabila replika durian terbesar di Malaysia yang ditempatkan di Galeri Warisan Kota Melaka mendapat pengiktirafan Malaysia Book of Records (MBOR), semalam.

Timbalan Menteri Pelancongan, Seni dan Budaya, Datuk Seri Dr. Santhara Kumar berkata, replika berukuran 6.3 meter tinggi, 3.3 meter lebar dan 2 meter garis pusat adalah yang terbesar pernah dibuat setakat ini.

Menurutnya, replika durian yang diiktiraf MBOR itu diharap menjadi salah satu tarikan baharu pelancongan Melaka, selain merancakkan semula aktiviti ekonomi domestik.

“Kementerian melalui Tourism Malaysia sentiasa berusaha mencari ruang dan peluang mempromosikan produk-produk baharu tempatan seperti minuman, makanan dan buah-buahan tempatan.

“Kita kaya dengan pelbagai jenis buah tempatan jika hendak dibandingkan negara jiran, mereka tidak ada sumber ini tetapi sebaliknya kita ada selain produk-produk kebudayaan yang turut kita pamerkan,” katanya dalam sidang akhbar selepas perasmian Magical Melaka Food & Fruit Fest 2022 di Pusat Pelancongan (TIC), Jalan Kota di sini semalam.

Majlis perasmian turut dihadiri Yang Dipertua Negeri, Tun Mohd. Ali Mohd. Rustam.

Ditanya mengenai kedudukan replika durian yang diletakkan bersebelahan tapak kubu lama, Santahara berkata, ia tidak melanggar peraturan yang ditetapkan Pertubuhan Pendidikan, Saintifik dan Kebudayaan Pertubuhan Bangsa-bangsa Bersatu (Unesco). 

“Kita faham dan sensitif dengan perkara ini dan saya beri jaminan replika tersebut tidak mengganggu dan hanya diletakkan berhampiran tapak sejarah buat sementara waktu.

“Hasil perbincangan pihak kementerian dan kerajaan negeri, tapak replika itu hanya untuk tempoh tiga hari sebelum ia akan dipindahkan ke tempat asal di hadapan Galeri Warisan Kota Melaka,” jelasnya.

Tropical fruit farm operators urged to be well prepared for VMY 2020

RAUB, Aug 19 (Bernama) -- Entrepreneurs in the tropical fruit industry need to prepare well for the upcoming Visit Malaysia Year 2020, said Deputy Agriculture and Agro-based Industries Minister Sim Tze Tzin.

He said this is to intensify the agro-tourism industry which is definitely a focus of domestic and foreign visitors, especially those who love the concept of orchard-based tourism.

"All industry players need to get ready for Visit Malaysia 2020 by ensuring their products are of the highest quality. For example, for Duriotourism, they need to focus on ensuring the quality of the durians.

"Farm operators are reminded to adhere to the Malaysian Good Agricultural Practices (myGAP) scheme. On the factory side, they must ensure that only the best durians are exported or supplied to the local market," he told reporters here today.

Sim said this after visiting the M Durian Fruits Sdn Bhd factory, which processes various varieties of durian including frozen Musang King, and inspected the 48-acre Tanah Aina Farouq durian orchard in Raub, Pahang here.

Sim said orchard operators should prepare well so that tourists can really enjoy and have fun at the orchard while enjoying the fruits such as the 'Musang King' durians while travelling.

"Industry players need to welcome visitors who love durians. I hope the agro-tourism packages would also include the best of rambutans, mangosteen, duku langsat, etc. so that visitors are convinced to come again, " he said.

Sim also said Malaysia had exported 565 tonnes of frozen durian to China since May this year generating a revenue of RM24.3 million.

The Ministry of Agriculture and Agro-based Industry estimates that 1,000 tonnes of premium varieties of Musang King (D197) and Black Thorn (D200) are exported to China every month.

He said the ministry was optimistic that the durian would be an industry under the New Avenues for Wealth Generation, with exports estimated to reach about RM500 million a year.

"Tun Abdul Rahman Abbas also suggested for the upcoming festival to be held during the durian season as Balik Pulau is famous for durians," he said.
