Message from our Director
Greetings from Kuala Lumpur!
As February begins, Malaysia’s tourism landscape is gaining strong momentum. Preparations for Visit Malaysia 2026 (VM2026) continue to unfold nationwide, and recent announcements around a full calendar of festivals, cultural celebrations and creative events reflect a clear commitment to positioning Malaysia as a vibrant, welcoming and experience-led destination in the year ahead.
One of the most encouraging developments has been the launch of year-round events supporting VM2026, including major urban activations such as the upcoming Water Musical Festival in Bukit Bintang, alongside heritage celebrations and community-led festivals across the country. This balanced approach — combining contemporary city experiences with deeply rooted cultural traditions — is helping to spread tourism benefits more evenly while offering travellers a richer, more diverse range of experiences.
February also marks a particularly attractive period for travel to Malaysia, with pleasant weather and a lively cultural atmosphere. Penang, in particular, continues to shine as a destination of international interest, earning global recognition for its heritage streetscapes, world-renowned food scene and cultural depth. From George Town’s UNESCO-listed quarters to its dynamic arts, dining and lifestyle offerings, Penang remains a compelling choice for travellers seeking both authenticity and creativity. You can read more about Penang in this month’s Destination Spotlight article.
Nationwide, tourism trends point towards quality-driven travel, with visitors increasingly drawn to immersive experiences, festivals, gastronomy and culturally meaningful journeys rather than high-volume sightseeing alone. This aligns closely with Malaysia’s broader tourism direction as it prepares for VM2026; focusing on longer stays, repeat visitation and deeper engagement with local communities.
At Panorama Destination Malaysia, our team continues to work closely with partners across destinations to support this evolving travel landscape, ensuring seamless services, thoughtful itineraries and memorable experiences for our clients. As we look ahead, we remain optimistic about the months to come and excited to help showcase Malaysia’s diversity, warmth and creativity to travellers from around the world.
We look forward to welcoming you to Malaysia in the weeks and months ahead.
Sincerely,
Panorama Destination Malaysia
