Fam Trip For Vietnamese Travel Agents And Media To Boost Tourist Arrivals From Vietnam With Batik Air

 

KUALA LUMPUR, 14 NOVEMBER 2023 – Tourism Malaysia Ho Chi Minh, in collaboration with Batik Air, organised a familiarisation trip in an effort to boost tourists from Vietnam. Nine (9) travel agents and one (1) media representative from Hanoi, Danang and Ho Chi Minh City participated in this five-day-four-night (5D4N) program held in Kuala Lumpur, Bukit Tinggi and Melaka, from 6th until 10th November 2023.

Among the highlighted places of interest in Kuala Lumpur were Independence Square, River of Life, Central Market, Saloma Bridge, Kwai Chai Hong and RexKL. At Bukit Tinggi, participants also had the chance to experience all the attractions, such as the Japanese village, Horse riding, Rabbit Park, and stay at Colmar Tropicale Berjaya Resort.

In Melaka, the participants were brought on a historical Melaka city tour. They also enjoyed exploring A’Famosa Resort Melaka and shopping at Freeport A’Famosa Outlet. At Gamuda Cove, the participants visited GL Play by Gamuda Lands. They enjoyed many activities at the theme parks, such as Safari Insta Tour, Boat Cruise and Goosebumps Ropes.

The fam trip was also sponsored by Longways Travel & Tours, ibis KLCC, Berjaya Hotels & Resorts, Tourism Melaka, A’Famosa Resort, GL Play by Gamuda Lands and AnCasa Hotel (KL).

Dato’ Dr. Ammar Abd. Ghappar, the Director-General of Tourism Malaysia, said: “We look forward to welcoming more than 300,000 Vietnamese travellers to Malaysia this year. In the first half of 2023, Malaysia recorded 161,795 Vietnamese arrivals, thus reflecting strong pent-up demand in the post-pandemic, as Vietnam is one of the important markets for Malaysia’s tourism industry.”

“This year is the 50th anniversary of diplomatic ties between Malaysia and Vietnam. Malaysia and Vietnam have a strong bilateral link. This connectivity will certainly help improve bilateral trade and tourist exchange between Malaysia and Vietnam, which has seen a significant increase in recent years,” he added.

Madam Nor Hayati Zainuddin, Director of Tourism Malaysia in Vietnam, said: “With Batik Air, there will be more travel options for tourists to choose a flight to go to Malaysia that suits their travel needs. We hope the participating travel agents in this fam trip will keenly support us in selling tour packages to their customers in Vietnam and in promoting Malaysia as a safe, value-for-money, and preferred holiday destination.”

Batik Air currently operates direct flights from Hanoi (HAN), Danang (DAD) and Ho Chi Minh City (SGN) to Kuala Lumpur (KUL). Promotional fare for one-way Economy Class between Ho Chi Minh City and Kuala Lumpur starts from USD69.00 (no Business Class). The fare is all-inclusive of free baggage allowance – 20kg for Economy Class travellers. The brand-new narrow-body Boeing 737-8 aircraft will be deployed on this route.

Malaysia is targeting to woo 16.1 million international tourist arrivals with a contribution of RM49.2 billion (USD 11.1 billion) in tourism receipts in 2023. Currently, there are 150 direct flights from Vietnam to Malaysia, and Tourism Malaysia is expecting exponential growth from the Vietnam market, including the Southeast Asia region.

KUALA LUMPUR, 6 NOVEMBER 2023 – In collaboration with Tourism Malaysia, MATTA is working with British Artist Rachel Gray, a recognised British artist of wildlife portraiture to launch the ‘Sustainable Malaysia Initiative’ at the Tourism Malaysia Pavilion at the World Travel Market 2023.

Rachel Gray will produce one large format of the Malaysian tiger, a recognised endangered species. This portrait, through the use of technology, will be converted to Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT’s), which have an intrinsic value and they will be auctioned for sale at a date to be finalized later in the year.

The proceeds from the auction and sale of the Non-Fungible Tokens will go towards supporting sustainable tourism at the Royal Belum State Park in Perak as well as towards sustaining the indigenous communities that live within.

With the eyes of the world upon Malaysia for the few days between 6 - 8 November 2023 at the WTM 2023, it is believed that this event provides unique opportunities for branding and merchandizing and will help Malaysia get the word out about eco-tourism and the sustainable activities that go with it.

“Known and loved for our rich biodiversity, especially from the European market, this initiative is hoped to bring further awareness of Malaysia’s ecotourism products and sustainable tourism, apart from supporting the local communities and their conservation efforts.

This is also in line with our focus to promote Malaysia as the Top-of-the-Mind Ecotourism Destination of the World,” said YBhg. Dato’ Roslan Tan Sri Abdul Rahman, Secretary General of the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture Malaysia.

Nigel Wong also took the opportunity to thank Malaysia Aviation Group for their support in providing a return ticket to London for Rachel Gray for this important campaign at the WTM London.

“The collaboration with Rachel Gray is particularly important as we feel that Rachel’s work tells the perfect story of the beauty of Malaysia’s rich wildlife heritage that we are trying to save and sustain for the benefit of the generations to come but also for us all here and now.” said Nigel Wong, the President of MATTA.

“This is also the first collaboration between MATTA and the British artist and we are proud of our close ties and the journey we are taking together towards a more sustainable future.”
