Malaysia aiming to top pre-pandemic numbers in 2024 – High goals for the coming year

Malaysia aims to surpass pre-pandemic tourist arrival levels in 2024, with expectations that the figure will exceed the 26.1 million foreign visitors recorded in 2019. The Tourism Malaysia deputy director-general, Musa Yusof, emphasized the positive impact of improved flight connectivity and the potential influx of visitors from China and India. Malaysia has recently implemented a 30-day visa-free entry for travelers from China and India starting December 1, signaling efforts to boost tourism revenue.

In addition to these initiatives, Malaysia is also focusing on health tourism, a sub-sector showing a robust rebound to 2019 levels, according to KPJ Healthcare representative, Sherene Azli. The country experienced an upswing in visitors this year, leading to a revision of the 2023 year-end tourism target to 19.1 million arrivals from the initial 16.1 million. This means that those looking for the best service apartment in KL will find options like the Pan Pacific Serviced Suites Kuala Lumpur in high demand in comparison, as shown by statistics related to tourism.
