Visiting new places is one of my MUST DO things this year. Traveling is something that most people would say is a 'luxury' but it doesn't have to be one right?
One of the places I am thinking of visiting is Malaysia to which I was surprised to be invited in their holiday packages brochure launch last February 14 at the 2014 PTAA Travel Tour Expo 2014.
Tourism Malaysia has marked its grandest tourism celebration which they dubbed Visit Malaysia Year (VMY) 2014 in which Tourism Malaysia has stepped up its efforts to attract more visitors to its bubbling, energetic cultural melting pot that are filled with endless events, amazing festivals and exciting activities happening all year round.

Their introduction of their "Tara Na sa Malaysia" Holiday Packages Brochure features special Malaysia tour packages that have been put together with the help of their valued local travel agents from all parts of the Philippines. This will also be featured on major newspapers, as well selected magazines nationwide.

The event was graced with Mr. Mohd Akbal Setia, Senior Assistant Director of Tourism Malaysia (ASEAN Division) who enjoined the media and the thousands of attendees to come rediscover Malaysia and, for those who still haven’t visited the country, to finally experience its wonders for the first time.
According to Mr. Setia, "With Malaysia being one of the most accessible destinations for many Filipinos, we have created this vibrant new tourism campaign with our many wonderful partners to ensure that this figurative line that divides out two nations would remain a line drawn in sand, easily washed away by a tide of new and exciting experiences that would bind us closer as people. "

Also at the same event, Datò Mohd Zamri Bin Mohd Kassim, Ambassador of Malaysia, Manila, reiterated the invitation with this message:
“There are numerous reasons tourists will find Malaysia an irresistible must-visit holiday destination. Whether it's rich and colorful multi-cultural heritage, exciting shopping malls, theme parks, fabulous food, great mountains and rivers, lush green parks and gardens, idyllic tropical islands, palm-fringed beaches or million-year-old rainforests – you can find all these attractions here in Malaysia.”
The brochure is a thematic holiday package which is first ever to be created. It promotes tourist a fun-filled time with tons of exciting activities suited for your liking wheather its for yourself, barkadas, loved ones, or your family which shows to diversify the nation's tourism offerings.

The event was hosted by Joyce Pring and there were some performances by a Malaysian dance troupe and Ms. Barbie Almalbis.
