Through the campaign of welcoming travellers during the first day of the year, Malaysia reiterated its commitment to provide inclusive, creative, and memorable tourism experiences in the entire year 2026.
These celebrations taking place all across the country were made possible as a result of a tight partnership between the federal and state governments, airlines, airports, and the tourism stakeholders.
