On Thursday, a workshop took place in Da Nang to promote Malaysia’s tourism and ensure closer links with travel agencies in the city and neighbouring localities. 

Organised by the Malaysia Tourism Promotion Board, the event was attended by the Director of Tourism Malaysia in Viet Nam, Mr Ahmad Zaki Mohd Salleh, and representatives from over 50 Vietnamese tourism businesses plus some local relevant agencies.

The ongoing MyFest 2015 campaign

The workshop aimed to highlight the development of Malaysia’s tourism over recent years and introduce its attractions, attractive tourism programmes and the Malaysian government-issued support polices for visitors who are on business trips to attend either conferences or seminars in the country.

Currently, Malaysia is implementing the attractive Malaysia Year of Festivals 2015 (MyFest 2015) campaign, which has 'Endless Celebrations' as its theme.  This year, there will be a total of 50 festivals and cultural events featuring the special characteristics of the land and people of this country.

Malaysia’s tourism sector is expected to welcome 270,000 visitors in total from Viet Nam by the end of the year.
