The Bazaar Jom Cuti-Cuti Malaysia 2025 wrapped up its second successful edition at East Coast Mall, Kuantan, after drawing in thousands of visitors over three vibrant days from 16 to 18 May 2025. Organised by TIN Media in collaboration with the Malaysian Association of Hotels (MAH) and supported by Tourism Malaysia, Tourism Pahang, and Majlis Bandaraya Kuantan, the event solidified its position as one of the East Coast’s most impactful domestic tourism showcases.

Launched by key tourism and government figures including YB Puan Leong Yu Man, Dato’ Khoo Boo Lim, Tuan Haji Mohd Nizam Bin Mahayuddin, Mr. Mohd Azizul Arif Hj Yahaya, and Ms. Nalini, the bazaar marked a significant step toward energising domestic travel ahead of Visit Malaysia Year 2026.

???? A Weekend of Unforgettable Experiences

Spanning three full days, the event offered a colourful mix of entertainment, unbeatable travel promotions, and interactive public engagement:

• RM20 cash vouchers were distributed to early-bird shoppers, spurring strong retail participation.

• Free massages and ice cream giveaways added a relaxing and festive touch for families and tourists alike.

• Harmony Music Fest, in collaboration with Persatuan Musik Malaysia, brought daily live performances that transformed the venue into a vibrant cultural hub.

• Visitors also stood a chance to win from RM100,000 worth of lucky draw prizes, including luxurious hotel stays and travel packages.

More than a travel fair, the bazaar acted as a catalyst for local economic growth by empowering small businesses, homegrown brands, and tourism entrepreneurs with direct consumer access and visibility.

???? Kuantan Shines as a Tourism Hotspot

With strong footfall and enthusiastic public response, the event reaffirmed Kuantan’s potential as a key tourism destination on the East Coast. Exhibitors reported brisk sales, high engagement, and strong leads for future bookings — all pointing to a growing appetite for local holiday experiences among Malaysians.

“This edition surpassed all expectations. From the support of government agencies to the energy of the crowd, we saw what real momentum for domestic tourism looks like,” said Dato’ Khoo Boo Lim, Vice President of MAH and Organising Chairman.
