My thanks to all our media friends who provided wide news coverage on the Visit Malaysia Year 2026 (VMY2026) campaign which started on New Year’s Day. This morning I was also invited by Sarawak’s branch of Tourism Malaysia and the Federal Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture (MoTAC) to welcome the arrival of passengers and visitors at the Kuching International Airport.
During the media interview, I had expressed my excitement and enthusiasm with the organising the VMY2026 that is expected to attract 43 million visitors to our country this year. The Sarawak Government through our Ministry of Tourism, Creative Industry and Performing Arts (MTCP) is also ready and committed to supporting Malaysia's target of attracting 43 million visitors this year.
As of November last year, our country had recorded 38.3 million visitor arrivals while Sarawak itself had almost achieved its 5 million target but arrivals as of November 2025 was 4.42 million. If the full data is received, I believe we may be able to achieve the target of 40 million visitors for the year 2025. Whether the target is achieved or not, it is not a big deal because we have shown good performance based on the joint efforts given by all stakeholders in the tourism industry.
