Malaysia rolled out the red carpet for the world at the recently concluded Global Tourism Meet 2025 in Kuala Lumpur, a three-day event that drew 600 international buyers and 100 media representatives.

Hosted by Tourism Malaysia at the World Trade Centre from October 1 to 3, the event brought together 400 Malaysian sellers—from airlines and hoteliers to tour operators—in a bid to strengthen the country's standing as a preferred global destination ahead of Visit Malaysia 2026.
