In the year 2001, Pakistan reported for a merely 15,768 arrivals into Malaysia. Consequently, this market was not taken as to be a significant resource market for tourists to the Malaysia.Although, past few years, arrival numbers have actually picked up as well as were recorded at 65,101 in year 2010 which is amounting to a development of more than 400 % over the last 10 years.
In the year 2011, this figure stood at a very remarkable development over the year.
Most of this development has been an effect of family tourists, as the usual tourist from Pakistan desires to travel around the world. Acting Director General of Tourism Malaysia Promotion Bureau, Dati Hj Azizan Noordin, said that, this amazing growth in a short duration has ensured that now a very significant market for inbound tourism to Malaysia is very quickly rising.
Dato' Hj Azizan while addressing to the media that, we believe this development period will continue for the upcoming decade at-least as more travelers from Pakistan warm up to the idea of international holiday.
Noordin said that. In keeping with this predicted development from Pakistan, Malaysia Tourism has decided a campaign for the year 2012 which showcases what Malaysia as a tourist attraction has to provides to families. From million year old forests and perfect beaches to luxury villas and spas as well as a many of shopping delights.
And finally there is the food - a delicate blend of Asian influence, the Malaysia boasts of few of the best dining on present anywhere in Asia. Pakistan Tourists are also taken in by the friendliness of Malaysian people, greeting the delight and nature which they feel when they look out of guests to their country.
Noordin said that, since 2007, the development phase has actually in progress. Their efforts now are to reach to both the business in Pakistan with business discussions and proposals and to the customers with our offering.
