Tourism Malaysia has signed a memorandum of collaboration (MOC) with Expedia Group to promote local and international tourism in Malaysia, says Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri.

The Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister said the collaboration was timely and music to the ears of the tourism industry given Expedia’s reputation and credibility.“This certainly befits our aim of amplifying tourism demands at the international level especially now that we are in the post-pandemic stage,” she said in her speech during the signing ceremony on Thursday (May 26).

Nancy also noted that previous collaborations with Expedia from August 2019 to February 2020 had successfully resulted in 156,573 tourists from the United Kingdom, United States and Japan travelling to Malaysia through the platform.
