Moving forward
Budget 2015’s RM316 million allocation for various tourism promotion programmes has set a positive outlook for the industry. Malaysia’s strong positioning as the 10th Most Visited Country in the world in 2012, 2nd Most Visited Country in Asia Pacific and listing by Lonely Planet as one of the top 10 destinations to visit in 2014 are all factors that add value to MyFest 2015.

The events will disseminate the vision, targets and branding guidelines of MyFest 2015 for effective implementation; while providing the opportunity to meet up to share ideas and garner feedback.With so many strategies, partnerships and incentives in place, it is envisaged that government agencies, the private sector, non-government agencies and industry players are in for a great start to MyFest 2015.
