Malaysia Has Much To Offer European Holidaymakers.
BERLIN - White sandy beaches, warm and sunny climate
all-year round and a hospitable environment.
With such varied but picturesque landscapes, among others,
Malaysia's irresistible offerings are after the heart of European
holidaymakers.
Tourism Malaysia director-general Datuk Mirza Mohammad
Taiyab said he had discerned a "new trend" among Europeans who,
having visited the same beaches of southern European countries and the
Mediterranean, were now eager to explore new destinations with different
cultures and traditions.
He told Bernama this on the sidelines of Malaysia's
participation at the International Tourism Exchange of Berlin, billed the
world's largest travel trade fair, where Tourism Malaysia strongly promoted
Visit Malaysia Year (VMY) 2014.
"Visit Malaysia Year 2014 was announced some months
back but we're now announcing it here to the world before a public that has
very strong awareness of global markets," Mirza said at the Malaysian
pavilion set up at the tourism show.
He noted that Germany was one of Malaysia's major markets,
with about 131,000 German tourists visiting the Southeast Asian country last
year.
