Malaysia is one of Southeast Asia’s most dynamic and diverse tourism, travel and hotel marketplaces. As Asia rises from the impact of the Covid-19 crisis, the hospitality industry is looking for green shoots in the shape of travel bubbles or green lanes to trigger the recovery. With nearly two-thirds of Malaysia’s tourists coming from ASEAN, inter-regional and cross border travel are the early movers in the uphill journey ahead.

This highly relevant virtual event is focused on Malaysia tourism’s most relevant issues, here and now with leading experts in Malaysia’s exciting tourism scene. Topics covered will include –

  • Tourism attractions – what are they doing to recreate themselves in the post crisis world?
  • NextGen Malaysian hospitality leadership – changing faces, new ideas
  • Malaysia’s hotel market performance – what lies ahead?
  • How can hotels forecast in a volatile trading environment where cash is everything?
  • Building an eco/sustainable project in Malaysia. Is green the new luxury?
  • Muslim Friendly Tourism – how can brand Malaysia be a market leader?
  • China Market – tapping into the evolving social media channels to drive demand
