MACAO SELECTED AS INTERNATIONAL FAVOURITE DESTINATION AT MATTA FAIR

KUALA LUMPUR, 27 MARCH 2025 – The Malaysian Association of Tour & Travel Agents (MATTA) is pleased to announce Macao as the International Favourite Destination for the MATTA Fair 18-20 April 2025 at the Malaysian International Trade and Exhibition Centre, Kuala Lumpur (MITEC). In partnership with the Macao Government Tourism Office (MGTO), the MATTA Fair aims to showcase Macao’s attractive travel deals and holidays packages to the visitors at the Fair.

Recognising Macao as the International Favourite Destination at the 56th edition of the MATTA Fair goes beyond celebrating its exceptional appeal. It reflects MATTA’s commitment to further broaden the tour and travel markets at the Fair driving sales for MATTA members, travel agencies and other exhibitors.

Located in Level 2 – International Halls, the Macao Pavilion is set to feature the wonders of Macao and its many exciting attractions and activities. Visitors can expect special promotions and interactive experiences designed to highlight Macao’s impressive blend of East and West, its world class resorts, iconic monuments and great cuisines.

“We are proud to be named the International Favourite Destination at MATTA Fair April 2025. This reflects our strong partnership with MATTA in bringing more Malaysians to Macao. MATTA Fair is the perfect platform to showcase Macao’s exciting new attractions and highlight why it remains a top short-haul destination for Malaysian travellers,” said Cora Vong, Marketing Division Head of MGTO.

“MATTA Fair plays a primary role in connecting travellers with a world of opportunities while driving business for our members especially in both inbound and outbound sectors. Our collaboration with Macao as this year’s International Favourite Destination serves as a testimony to how strategic partnerships can open new doors for both visitors and industry players,” said Nigel Wong, President of MATTA.

In line with our commitment to strengthening travel businesses for our members, MATTA is excited to announce its inaugural international travel Business to Business (B2B) event, MATTA Connect. This event provides an opportunity for international sellers from many different countries to connect with local Malaysian travel agents as buyers to explore new international destinations and to establish new business partnerships. MATTA Connect will take place on 17 April 2025 at MITEC, the day before the MATTA Fair. MATTA Connect offers a dedicated platform for our members to explore new destinations, form strategic partnerships, and expand their international reach and markets. This initiative backs MATTA’s ongoing efforts to support its members by reaching out further into the international markets.
