Malaysia Airlines and Tourism Malaysia Collaborate to Showcase Malaysia as The Premier Summer Getaway for Indian Travelers

Wednesday, April 10, 2024

Malaysia Airlines and Tourism Malaysia are excited to unveil a lineup of collaborative networking events aimed at spotlighting Malaysia as the premier summer getaway for Indian travelers.

Planned for today, April 10th in Ahmedabad, and April 12th in Surat, 2024, these gatherings seek to link Indian travelers with the rich array of attractions and experiences Malaysia has in store. Building on the triumph of prior ‘Networking Dinners’ held in Chandigarh on March 27th, Jalandhar on March 29th, Amritsar on March 30th, and Rajkot on April 8th, comparable events are also in the pipeline for May 2024 in Kollam, Thiruvalla, and Kottayam.

“We are excited to collaborate with Tourism Malaysia in promoting Malaysia as a top summer destination for Indian travellers,” said Mr Dersenish Aresandiran, Chief Commercial Officer of Airlines from Malaysia Aviation Group. “With its stunning natural landscapes, vibrant culture tapestry, and warm hospitality, Malaysia offers an unforgettable experience for adventurers, relaxation seekers, and culture enthusiasts alike. Through these networking events, our goal is to ignite the curiosity of Indian travellers, inviting them to embark on a journey to Malaysia and create cherished memories that will last a lifetime.”
 

Jalandhar – March 29, 2024: In a recent networking event, Muhammad Akmal Hafiz Abdul Aziz, Acting Director of Tourism Malaysia – Delhi (4th from Left), and Amit Mehta, Regional Manager for South Asia, Middle East & Africa (3rd from Left), were among the notable attendees.

A noteworthy feature of the event was Malaysia Airlines’ special offer, providing passengers with complimentary bonus side trips during stopovers in Malaysia. Passengers flying with Malaysia Airlines and having a layover in Malaysia can take advantage of this offer to book a free side trip to one of seven captivating destinations, including Alor Setar, Langkawi, Johor Bahru, Kota Bharu, Kuala Terengganu, Kuantan, and Penang. Under this offer, the airline covers the cost of the flight, leaving travelers responsible only for their accommodation and other activities. This enticing opportunity allows travelers to effortlessly extend their Malaysian adventure, enriching their overall travel experience.

Furthermore, the Malaysian government has introduced visa-free travel for Indian passport holders, effective from December 1st, 2023, until December 31st, 2024. This initiative eliminates the need for Indian citizens to obtain a visa, making it easier for them to explore Malaysia. This policy demonstrates Malaysia’s dedication to strengthening ties and promoting tourism between the two countries.

“We are delighted to partner with Malaysia Airlines to showcase Malaysia’s diverse attractions and unique experiences to Indian travellers,” said Noriah Jaafar, Director, Tourism Malaysia – Mumbai. “With visa-free travel, attractive travel packages, and the opportunity for a complimentary side trip, Malaysia offers incredible value and convenience for Indian travellers looking for their next holiday destination. We look forward to welcoming Indian travellers to experience the beauty and warmth of Malaysia this summer.”

“The earlier Networking Events held in Chandigarh, Jalandhar, and Amritsar have been incredibly fruitful and successful,” said Muhammad Akmal Hafiz Abdul Aziz, Acting Director, Tourism Malaysia – New Delhi. “We received overwhelming participation from travel agents who showed great enthusiasm in promoting Malaysia as a preferred travel destination. The events provided an excellent platform for networking, collaboration, and sharing insights, and we are confident that the upcoming events will further strengthen our partnerships and drive tourism growth from India to Malaysia.”

Moreover, Malaysia Airlines and Tourism Malaysia have recently engaged in Mall Activation events in Trivandrum. They are now preparing for upcoming participation in Amritsar in April and Ahmedabad in May. These events aim to provide travelers with an interactive platform to explore Malaysia’s attractions and travel offerings.

The networking events will include presentations, interactive sessions, and networking opportunities. They offer travel agents valuable insights, a platform for exchanging ideas, and the opportunity to forge partnerships to effectively promote Malaysia tourism packages to their clients.
