Malaysia is targeting for tourist arrivals to surpass the pre-pandemic level next year amid better flight connectivity and higher potential visitors from China and India.
Tourism arrivals in 2024 “should be higher” than the 26.1 million foreign visitors seen in 2019, Tourism Malaysia Deputy Director General (Promotion) Musa Yusof said at a forum in Kuala Lumpur, although he did not reveal the exact projection.
