M’sia received 26 mil tourist arrivals this year, as of Nov 15: Motac

Singapore, Indonesia, and Thailand lead the list, while visa exemptions for tourists from India and China are expected to boost total numbers further

KUALA LUMPUR – Singaporeans head the list of 26 million tourist arrivals to the country, according to the Immigration Department’s latest statistics recorded from January 1 to November 15 this year.

Tourism, Arts and Culture (Motac) Minister Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing said he hoped tourist arrivals will continue to increase following the implementation of the 30-day visa exemption for travellers from China and India from December 1.

“So, we hope for the best and that we can increase the number of tourists, especially after Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim announced visa exemptions for China and India for 30 days beginning December 1,” he told the media after the Malaysia Batik Day Celebration walkabout session at the Kuala Lumpur Craft Complex, here today.

According to statistics released, the highest number of tourists were from Singapore at 12,645,364, followed by Indonesia (3,166,295), Thailand (2,073,162), China (1,407,471), Brunei (904,841), and India (780,532), while the rest are from elsewhere.

Meanwhile, in an effort to strengthen bilateral ties between Malaysia and China in conjunction with the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries next year, a series of special batik collections will be introduced by Motac and Kraftangan Malaysia.

“We will most probably have a series of special design collections for both countries and also see how we can run a one-year promotion in China, as well as study if they can also promote their clothes such as cheongsams or others to us,” he said. – December 3, 2023
