Macau will be featured as the “International Favourite Destination” of this year’s Malaysian Association of Tour and Travel Agents – MATTA Fair 2025, which will be held in the Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur on 18-20 April, with the designation expected to help boost the SAR’s tourism appeal and enhance the effectiveness of promotions in Malaysia in conjunction with a string of other initiatives to promote the city’s “tourism +” offerings conducted this year by the Macao Government Tourism Office (MGTO) as part of the efforts to consolidate Southeast Asian visitor source markets.
The announcement of Macau being featured as the International Favourite Destination was made in a press conference held in Kuala Lumpur on Thursday, during which MGTO Marketing Division Head Cora Vong said that the SAR’s tourism office would take advantage of such opportunity to showcase Macau’s new dynamic development as a world centre of tourism and leisure, and to effectively feature the city as an ideal short-haul destination for Malaysian travellers.
MATTA President Nigel Wong said the fair plays a primary role in connecting travellers with a world of opportunities while driving business for its members especially in both inbound and outbound sectors, pointing out that the collaboration between the two places in this year’s fair serves as a testimony of how strategic partnerships can open new doors for both visitors and industry players.
Meanwhile, in cooperation with MATTA, MGTO is organising the visit of a delegation of travel trade from Malaysia to attend the 13th Macao International Travel (Industry) Expo in April, among other activities, to continue to boost visitor arrivals from the country, as part of the efforts to solidify the Southeast Asia market and attract more international visitors to Macau.
