PUTRAJAYA, 2 JUNE 2016: The Tourism Malaysia office hall turned livelier today as LEGOLAND Malaysia Resort showcased their LEGOLAND Hotel, LEGO City, Star Wars Miniland, Water Park as well as many other latest attractions here.

It was the Tourism Malaysia Networking Day (TMND) again – and this time, it featured award-winning theme park operator LEGOLAND Malaysia Resort.

TMND is an initiative by Tourism Malaysia to provide a platform for tourism industry players to meet and network with Ministry of Tourism and Culture and Tourism Malaysia staff. It is an opportunity for hoteliers, tour operators, tourism products operators, destination management companies and airlines services to give updates on their latest development, news and products.

Given a free hand to lead the session, LEGOLAND Malaysia Resort transformed the tourism office hall into a Mini LEGOLAND Theme Park. The LEGOLAND staff got to work decorating the hall to mimic the look of its signature parks and tourist attractions.

Previous editions of Tourism Malaysia Networking Day for 2015 featured EMKAY Group, Sunway Lagoon, Resorts World Genting and Bank Negara Museum, Art Gallery and Knowledge Management Centre. For more info, do log on to http://www.tourismmalayasia.gov.my.
