A Message From Panorama Destination Malaysia:
Hello from Kuala Lumpur!
With international arrivals on the rise, Malaysia continues to celebrate its rich cultural heritage, natural beauty and extraordinary diversity as part of Visit Malaysia 2026. The year may be drawing to a close, but there are still plenty of exciting opportunities for travellers to discover everything our country has to offer, from vibrant cities and historic towns to tropical islands and lush rainforests.
One of this month’s highlights is Deepavali, the Festival of Lights, celebrated on 8 November. This colourful occasion brings communities together through traditional decorations, festive gatherings and delicious Indian cuisine. Visitors can experience the celebrations in destinations such as Kuala Lumpur and Penang, where Malaysia’s multicultural heritage comes alive.
November also brings a busy calendar of events, including the Raja Muda Selangor International Regatta, the Borneo Craft Festival in Sarawak and the Penang International Dragon Boat Regatta. These events offer wonderful opportunities for visitors to experience Malaysia’s sporting traditions, local craftsmanship and community spirit.
As the northeast monsoon season begins, we are encouraging travellers to explore Malaysia’s west coast destinations, particularly Penang, Langkawi and Kuala Lumpur; from Penang’s UNESCO-listed heritage streets and world-famous food scene to Langkawi’s spectacular natural landscapes, there is something for every type of traveller. For those looking to venture further off the beaten track, Malaysia’s smaller towns and rural communities offer equally rewarding cultural and nature-based experiences.
With the festive season approaching, our team is ready to help our partners create memorable itineraries, combining Malaysia’s iconic attractions with authentic local discoveries.
Thank you for your continued trust and support. We look forward to welcoming more of your guests and sharing the very best of Malaysia with them!
Best wishes,
Panorama Destination Malaysia
