KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 5 (NNN-BERNAMA) – Malaysia recorded 1,185,050 visitors from China from Jan to May, a 194 percent increase over the same period last year, Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister, Tiong King Sing, said.
He attributed the increase to the implementation of visa-free travel arrangements between both countries.
He also encouraged airlines to expand their connectivity between Malaysia and various countries, providing more convenience and options for travellers worldwide, creating a win-win situation.
Malaysia implemented a 30-day visa-free entry for Chinese citizens starting Dec 1 last year, and has extended it until the end of 2026.– NNN-BERNAMA
