SEPANG (Feb 10): Türkiye tourist arrivals into Malaysia for the period January to November 2023 showed an increase of 10.8% or 15,623 people, compared to 14,096 in the same period in 2019.
Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture (Motac) secretary general Datuk Roslan Abdul Rahman said this increase reflects the success of Motac’s campaign to promote Malaysia as an attractive destination for foreign tourists.
