Women With Wings – Shopping in Malaysia

Last week on 30^th January 2016, Tourism of Malaysia organised a Press meet for a group of women travellers and named it ‘Women With Wings’ to launch and promote the Malaysia Shopping Campaign and I was obviously one of them, as travelling is in my blood. 😉 It was held in the Imperial Hotel, New Delhi also in the evening a meet was organized for travel agents as well to thank them for promoting and selling Malaysia as a travel destination to their clients.

As we know Malaysia is a modern and a multi – racial country, therefore you will find a lot of trends and traditions in this country and apart from that it’s a shopping paradise for all you shopaholics. With the growing tourism in Malaysia they have come up with many more shopping centers. There are more than 500 shopping malls and the top 3 largest malls in the world are in Malaysia and these are Sunway Pyramid, Mid Valley Mega Mall and Damansara Utama. In Kuala Lumpur itself there are plenty of shopping malls where in you can shop for high end luxury products and also you can even find top international designers and brands.

For boosting Indian arrivals, Tourism Malaysia is encouraging tour operators to develop and sell exciting holiday packages with a focus on niche products like shopping, luxury travel and sports tourism. One of the promotional efforts by tourism Malaysia is their recent participation in SATTE through which the number of tourists to Malaysia is expected to increase. It aims to promote greater awareness of Malaysia as an ideal holiday destination.

The 23^rd edition Malaysian delegation is led by Dato’ Daljit Singh, accompanied by representatives from 18 travel agents/tour operators, Hotels/Resorts, State Tourism Authorities and airlines. 2016 marks the 11^th year of Malaysia’s participation in SATTE since its debut in 1994. In 2015 SATTE recorded the participation of over 650 exhibitors from more than 35 countries and 26 Indian States.
