Why MATTA Fair Still Matters in 2026
In today’s travel landscape, it’s not just about finding cheap flights—it’s about trust and assurance.
MATTA President Nigel Wong emphasised that travellers today prioritise credibility and peace of mind. When you book with MATTA members, you’re dealing with licensed professionals who can handle everything from planning to on-ground support.
To further strengthen this, MATTA introduced the TRUST initiative, making it easier for visitors to identify legitimate and reliable travel agents.
Supporting Visit Malaysia 2026 & Johor’s Tourism Boom
The fair also aligns closely with Visit Malaysia 2026, a nationwide push to boost tourism arrivals and revenue.
Officiated by Raven Kumar Krishnasamy on behalf of Onn Hafiz Ghazi, the event highlighted Johor’s rising prominence as a tourism hotspot.
Key highlights:
- Over RM143.84 million invested in tourism infrastructure since 2025
- Target of 12 million visitors under Visit Johor 2026
- 25 million foreign visitor movements recorded in 2025
Johor is also featured as Malaysia’s Favourite Destination, while Macao takes the spotlight internationally.
