🌏 Day 2 at the Global Travel Meet 2025 – Another Amazing Day of Connections & Opportunities ✨
The second morning kicked off at 9:00 AM, and the energy was just as high as Day 1! Everyone was eager to continue networking, exchanging ideas, and building new partnerships in the world of travel and tourism.
I met so many resort owners, hotel managers, and travel agency founders — all proudly showcasing Malaysia’s best travel destinations to international buyers. The enthusiasm was incredible!
For instance, Mr. Teh, founder of CIME Services & Travel Sdn Bhd, was passionately introducing the beauty of Melaka to buyers from Indonesia and China,
while Mr. Wilson from Brighton Travel (Sarawak Miri) was sharing the hidden gems of Sarawak with buyers from India.
Meanwhile, I took the opportunity to introduce PusatPelancongan.com and OnlineTravelFair.com — two platforms created to support Malaysia’s tourism industry. Through our DIY promotion system, local travel providers can easily upload their travel packages, tour promotions, and eco tourism deals for the public to explore.
Our goal is simple:
👉 To gather like-minded travel entrepreneurs in one place.
👉 To make their businesses visible to both local and international travelers.
👉 To offer a long-term, low-cost, and low-risk way to stay discoverable all year round.
For only RM699 per year (that’s less than RM60 per month!), your travel business can stay listed and accessible 365 days a year — no off days, no sick leave, and no extra cost for staff or advertising!
I even shared this comparison: hiring a marketing executive costs at least RM3,000 per month, and in three months you’d spend RM9,000 — whether or not sales are achieved. In contrast, our system works tirelessly all year to help potential customers discover your travel services anytime, anywhere.
Many local businesses instantly agreed that it made perfect sense! Among those ready to collaborate were Avante Holidays, Brighton Travel, Mitt Hijrah, Harvest Vacations, Friendly Vacations, GR Travel, and Platinum Charters — while others are waiting for top management approval.
I also had the pleasure of meeting representatives from Laguna Redang, Mimpi Perhentian, Encore Melaka, A’Famosa Safari Wonderland & Waterworld, Tropical Charters Langkawi, Haniff Travel, MITT Hijrah, and the ever-friendly Encik Ninam from Tourism Malaysia — who was full of positive energy!
In the evening, I joined the networking dinner, where I had the joy of connecting with teams from Laos, Singapore, and the UK — all equally passionate about tourism and collaboration. The night was filled with laughter, ideas, and new friendships.
Of course, I couldn’t miss the opportunity to capture a moment with our distinguished VIPs — Dato’ Manoharan Periasamy, Dato’ Shaharuddin, and Mr. Chua Choon Hwa. Hopefully, they’ll remember me and support our projects like PusatPelancongan.com and OnlineTravelFair.com in the future! 😄
The wonderful evening ended around 10:00 PM — a day full of achievements, smiles, and inspiration. As everyone returned to prepare for the final day’s push, one thing was clear: Malaysia’s tourism industry is vibrant, united, and ready to shine for Visit Malaysia 2026! 🇲🇾✨
