experts including 96 Travel & Tours, Desaru Fruit Farm Tour & Travel,
Senyum Pte Ltd, Singatour, Transtar Travel Group and WTS Travel & Tours.
These prominent Singapore travel agents will offer an extensive range of
exclusive packages, providing visitors with direct access to tailored holiday
expertise.
As
a major highlight of the opening day, Tourism Malaysia officially launched a
strategic collaboration with BusOnlineTicket.com, a premier booking portal for
bus, train, and ferry services. Officiated at the GO Malaysia Fair, this
partnership is specifically designed to streamline the high-volume overland
traffic between Singapore and Malaysia.
On
this partnership, Mr Mohd Amirul Rizal Abdul Rahim, Director General of Tourism
Malaysia said, "By strategically collaborating with service provider
platforms like BusOnlineTicket.com, we are streamlining cross-border logistics
to offer a frictionless travel experience. Given the currently challenging
global tourism landscape, we anticipate that this collaboration will encourage
more travellers to choose Malaysia as a safe, accessible, and preferred
destination, providing a significant boost to our tourism arrivals, especially
for Visit Malaysia 2026 (VM2026).”
Reflecting
on this initiative, Mr. Bong Yong Chuen, Director of BusOnlineTicket Pte Ltd,
stated: "We are thrilled to partner with Tourism Malaysia in this
strategic initiative to support the Visit Malaysia 2026 (VM2026) campaign. By
integrating our comprehensive booking platform with Tourism Malaysia's
promotional efforts, we aim to provide a seamless and convenient travel
experience between Singapore and Malaysia. Our goal is to make cross-border
travel more accessible than ever, ensuring that every traveller can easily
discover the diverse wonders Malaysia has to offer."
Running
from 8 May to 31 August 2026, the campaign offers a frictionless booking
experience for Singapore residents and international tourists alike, accessible
exclusively via www.busonlineticket.com.
In
2025, Malaysia welcomed 21.1 million Singaporean visitors, representing an 11.8
per cent increase compared to the previous year. This continued growth
underscores Singapore’s continued importance as a key source market,
particularly in the spirit of the Visit Malaysia 2026 (VM2026) campaign. The GO
Malaysia Fair serves as a heartfelt invitation for travellers from Singapore to
revisit and experience its familiar charm through extraordinary, surreal
experiences.
As
part of its promotional efforts, Tourism Malaysia continues to demonstrate
dedication towards promoting Malaysia as a premier tourism destination with its
presence at travel fairs like the GO Malaysia Fair. The GO Malaysia Fair will
