To promote more value-for-money holiday packages to Malaysia for the Indian tourists, Tourism Malaysia has launched the ‘Malaysia Fantastic Deals’ package. For this initiative, Tourism Malaysia is offering five packages, designed specifically for the India market. The packages can be purchased through select Indian travel agents based in Chennai, Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata from December 15 to January 15, 2019 for travel to Malaysia between February 1, 2019 to July 31, 2019. For this, Malindo Air is also offering a 10 per cent discount on air fares from Chennai, Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata. Meanwhile, industry partners like the Sunway Hotel and Resorts, MeritusPelangi Beach Resort and Spa Langkawi, Lexis Hotel and Group and Atmosphere 360 Revolving Restaurant KL Tower, have come together to offer deals for destinations like Kuala Lumpur, Port Dickson, Langkawi and Penang in Malaysia.

The director of package development division of Tourism Malaysia Tuan Syed Yahya Syed Othman, said, “We are proud of this partnership with some of the key names in Malaysia’s tourism industry, and believe that tourists from India will enjoy better value and have a memorable experience of Malaysia. These packages bring together the best of Malaysia’s islands and beaches, city, gastronomy and family-friendly experiences, and will provide a broader experience of Malaysia.” Malaysia is also promoting the concept of ‘experiential shopping’ at the destination.

Malindo Air’s CEO Chandran Rama Muthy, added, “Our flights offer spacious legroom, in-flight entertainment, meals, baggage allowance as well as Business Class option. In 2019, we are targeting a 12 per cent incremental of passenger’s load from India compared to this year. We believe this partnership will contribute in achieving our goal and boost the number of visitors to Malaysia.”
