The campaign is a collaborative effort with Mastercard and 60 Malaysian tourism sector players
Tourism Malaysia’s 2024 Malaysia Year-End Sales (MYES 2024) campaign is currently in full swing and is on until 1st January 2025.
Launched last 15th November, the campaign is a collaboration with Mastercard and over 60 local tourism industry players, including shopping malls, retailers, hotels and airlines.
MYES 2024 offers unparalleled shopping and tourism experiences, encompassing a diverse range of goods, accommodation, transportation, and food and beverage options, with more than 130 exciting activities and promotions awaiting tourists visiting shopping malls across Malaysia.
Tourism Malaysia director-general Manoharan Periasamy stated: “Shopping is a crucial component of our nation’s tourism industry. From January to September 2024, tourist expenditure in the shopping segment reached RM26.98 billion, a significant 63 percent increase compared to RM16.56 billion logged in the same period in 2023. This represents 36.8 percent of the total tourism revenue of RM73.2 billion for this period. Hence, we are confident that the reintroduction of the Malaysia Mega Sale campaign this year will further boost this segment’s growth.”
This nationwide campaign enjoys strong support from key industry associations, including the Malaysia Shopping Malls Association (PPK Malaysia), the Malaysia Retailers Association (MRA), the Malaysia Retail Chain Association (MRCA), the Malaysian Association of Hotels (MAH), and the Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG).
