Participants of MALAYSIA MEGAMEET 2015,

Ladies and gentlemen.

1. Good morning. I'??m pleased to bid each and every one of you a warm welcome or Selamat Datang to Malaysia. Thank you for accepting our invitation to participate in this inaugural MALAYSIA MEGAMEET 2015.

2. Every year, Tourism Malaysia brings in more than a thousand international media and tour agents to Malaysia under our Mega Fam Programme. While they are here to attend a specific event, we also want to give them a first-hand experience of the various fascinating tourism offerings here.

3. Our intention is simple. We hope the tours will motivate the media to promote destinations in Malaysia through their interesting articles. As for the tour operators, we hope they'??ll get a better idea on what and how to package Malaysia, and then create more exciting and creative tour packages to the country.

4. The assistance of foreign media and tour operators like all of you is vital to our success in boosting the country's arrivals and receipts, and meet our annual target. It is even more important this year as we'??re celebrating the Malaysia Year of Festivals or MyFest 2015.

5. This is the reason we'??re organising this MALAYSIA MEGAMEET for the very first time. We are pleased to bring in 133 buyers and 16 media from 100 countries to Malaysia for this major B2B networking programme.

6. Through Tourism Malaysia'??s worldwide overseas offices, we manage to have representatives from every region in the world here to network and establish business opportunities with the Malaysian tour operators.

Ladies and gentlemen,

7. Before the tour agents proceed to the travel mart while the media enjoy their Food Trail and shopping tour, I will be giving you a short presentation on our tourism performance and the latest developments of our tourism industry.

8. We are also pleased to have representatives from Genting Berhad and Mitsui Outlet Park KLIA to share with you their exciting upcoming tourist attractions.

9. I am confident that this MALAYSIA MEGAMEET programme will help us to create higher awareness of Malaysia internationally, promoting the country as a value-for-money and top-of-mind tourist destination.

10. I hope all the tour operators will have a fruitful travel mart today and I wish all the participants an enjoyable and memorable stay in Malaysia.

11. With that, it gives me great pleasure to officially declare the opening of the inaugural MALAYSIA MEGAMEET 2015.

Thank you.
