Fun, Fully-Booked Weekend
Precisely all 160 booths available for the MATTA Fair 2022 are fully booked for this weekend! Taken up by a number of agents, organizations, and management people related to tourism and travel, more than 60% of the booths will be focused on specifically promoting domestic tourism in Malaysia.
MATTA, the fair organizer, aims to attract at least 30,000 visitors and generate sales close to RM20mil from this fair.
We have learnt that we need to be flexible, innovative, creative and agile to attract new and returning visitors. We are utilizing technology and social media wisely to identify new opportunities.
Vergis Mathew, MATTA Penang Chapter Chairman
Alongside, the Fair is also an indication of the increasing demand for tourism and tourism-related activities, thanks to the Penang state government’s efforts to restore confidence and positivity in traveling.
It implies that the tourism ecosystem is back in the game with supply such as travel packages and travel fairs increasing to meet the surging demand, proving that both the local and global markets are ready to thrive again.
