#beautifulMalaysia

Tourism Malaysia is organising an online contest called #beautifulMalaysia, with weekly prizes to be won over 12 weeks from 15 June to 20 September. One grand prize and three consolations prizes are up for grabs every week. Grand prizes include a GoPro Hero 4, iPad Air 2, Canon EOS 100D and OPPO Find 5. The contest, which is open to participants from all over the world, requires them to submit photos that best encapsulate the beauty of Malaysia in four categories, namely places, festivals, food and shopping. Photos can be uploaded on Instagram using the hashtag #beautifulMalaysia or directly on to the contest campaign website (www.tourism.gov.my/beautifulMalaysia).

The winning photos will also be featured on postcards at the end of the campaign. These postcards together with other specially designed postcards bearing the theme Beautiful Malaysia will be placed at selected airports in the country. The postcards will also be used to further promote 2015 as Malaysia Year of Festivals, or MyFest 2015. Various festivals and events happening in the country will be highlighted on the postcards, which can easily be picked up by tourists visiting Malaysia.

Dekat Je 

Tourism Malaysia has launched a new domestic travel campaign called ‘Dekat Je’ to encourage more Malaysians to travel to nearby places in the country for their next weekend getaway. The unmistakably-Malaysian use of colloquial phrase ‘dekat je’, which loosely translates as ‘so close’, aims to remind Malaysians that the next exciting holiday destination is actually just right on their doorstep, and that travelling helps foster closer relationships with families and friends. Choices for the next local holiday are endless and meet all types of budgets. It can be a simple staycation in the city, a quick getaway to the next town, a gastronomic journey across several states, or living it up in lush rainforest resorts. The campaign was recently launched by the Chairman of Tourism Malaysia Wee Choo Keong at Seri Pacific Hotel, Kuala Lumpur. The ‘Dekat Je’ campaign encourages Malaysians to take wefies, and post them on social media platforms with a hashtag of the location to promote their trip, be it against a stunning scenery, iconic monument, or while enjoying scrumptious local delights.

 

Embracing Rasulullah S.A.W. Exhibition

Perfect trip for 4,000 from China

Hello Penang: Part of the Chinese tourists arriving
at the Penang International Airport in Bayan Lepas for their vacation.

GEORGE TOWN: Meng Chumai from Henan, China, has travelled to many countries in Asia but counts Malaysia as special.

“I have been with my company for 10 years, but I have always missed the trip here,” she said.

The 52-year-old said she had heard a lot about Penang, its people and food.

“I can sense it’s going to be a memorable trip,” she said shortly after arriving at the Penang International Airport yesterday.

Guo Limau, 35, also from Henan, is also on his first visit to Malaysia.

“Its my first incentive trip to Penang. I’m looking forward to cycling here and visiting the Botanical Gardens.

“I’ve heard a lot from my friends who came here last year,” he added.

The duo are among the first batch of 4,000 visitors who will be here on an incentive trip sponsored by Perfect (China) Co Ltd, a multi-level-marketing company founded by Malaysian Tan Sri Koo Yuen Kim.

This is the fourth consecutive year they are visiting Penang, but this is the largest batch.

A total of 80 guests arrived on the first flight in the morning with 1,120 touching down later in the day. Another group of 2,010 visitors will be here on July 10, and the rest later on.

Sunflower Holidays Sdn Bhd executive director Terry Lee, the operator of the tour group, said the visitors from China will be arriving in batches in 40 flights.

“We have prepared more than 120 tour buses to ferry them to various city and beach hotels,” he added. Lee said the visitors will take part in a cycling event and trishaw ride today at the Esplanade.

“They will then visit a hawker centre at the same venue where 40 different types of food will be served. “The Botanical Gardens tour is always an attraction,” said Lee.

The group is also expected to visit Istana Anak Bukit in Alor Setar. It is learnt that about 7,000 employees of the firm spent about RM322mil over just a week in Anaheim, southern California last May.

Lee said the group is expected to contribute over RM40mil to Penang’s tourism coffers this time. “Each of them will spend more than RM10,000 on transport, accommodation, meals and shopping,” he said.
