Sarawak rekindles networks at ITB 2023

By
TTR WEEKLY
-

BERLIN, 10 March 2023: Sarawak returned with a strong delegation to ITB Berlin 2023 from 7 to 9 March 2023, focusing on its inaugural stand-alone pavilion to strengthen Sarawak’s presence in the European market.

Sarawak’s marketing campaign to trade and consumers visiting the world’s largest travel show positioned the Malaysian state as the leading and preferred eco-tourism destination in the ASEAN region.

Visitors to ITB Berlin learned more about Sarawak’s tourism offerings at the Sarawak Pavilion in Hall A, Stand 220A and experienced insights into a destination blessed with a plethora of culture, adventure, nature, food and festivals.

Sarawak’s Minister of Tourism, Creative Industry and Performing Arts (MTCP), Dato Sri Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah, said the Sarawak Pavilion reflects the state’s passion for driving tourism as one of the key contributors to the region of Sarawak.

“We are proud that our strategic partners stand with us in making Sarawak stand out in the world at this year’s ITB Berlin. We are very fortunate to have the support of Authentic Borneo Tours, Borneo Adventure, Business Events Sarawak (Sarawak Convention Bureau), CPH Travel Agencies (Sarawak), Greatown Travel, Happy Trails Borneo Tours, Hemisphere Hospitality, Paradesa Borneo, Smart Leisure & Travels and Tropical Adventure to work together to enhance Sarawak’s visibility on the global pedestal”, he added.

Sarawak’s Day 1 participation at the fair highlighted the unveiling of its new destination video, “Sarawak…Now More Than Ever”, and video presentations on Sarawak’s adventure products such as cycling, trekking and caving activities and promotion of the Rainforest World Music Festival (RWMF) 2023.

Another significant event on Day 1 was the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between Sarawak Tourism Board (STB) and Tischler Reisen AG as a collaborative effort to boost Sarawak’s visibility towards becoming a preferred destination in Germany and surrounding European markets, both offline and online involving some 600 travel agencies in Germany.

As the biggest state in Malaysia with a low-density population of 2.9 million people (as of 2020), Sarawak is very proud of its natural inheritance of pristine rainforests, endemic flora and fauna, and its diverse peoples. Located in Borneo, the third largest island in the world, the rich land of Sarawak is host to a kaleidoscope of cultures made up of 31 ethnic groups, with a rich and diverse ecosystem for adventurers to explore.

Today, many tourist destinations have adopted the principles of responsible tourism in their management and tourism practices, and Sarawak is no exception. Taking environmental issues seriously, Sarawak tourism players incorporate elements of sustainable waste management, energy conservation and environmental education into their tours to ensure travellers are sight-seeing and contribute to the conservation of Sarawak’s attractions for generations to come. Visitors to Sarawak can have the choice of experiencing the local authentic Sarawak lifestyle by staying in community-based homestays or enjoying the modern and scenic landscapes of its cities.

Sarawak tourism players adopt eco-friendly practices in their tourism products, such as encouraging bicycle rides in rural areas or enjoying bird-watching in Sarawak’s lush rainforests. Tourism players promote homestays, encourage local food consumption, and highlight local handicrafts and arts in their effort to sustain the local way of life for generations to come. Such community-based tourism can be found in areas such as Nanga Sumpa in Batang Ai where travellers can gain an insight into the lifestyle of the various tribes of Sarawak. These efforts can generate earnings for residents, especially those from lower-income groups.

Sarawak’s renowned orangutan rehabilitation centre, Semenggoh Wildlife Centre, only 20 km from Kuching City, is the biggest orangutan rehabilitation centre in Sarawak. It was established as a sanctuary for orangutans injured, orphaned, or held captive as illegal pets. Currently, the centre serves as a habitat for the orangutans and also a place for visitors to learn about this rare endangered species. This wildlife centre has a thriving population of healthy adolescent and young adult semi-wild orangutans.

BERLIN, 10 March 2023: Malaysia’s Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture (MOTAC) and its agency Tourism Malaysia participated once again in the World’s leading travel trade show, Internationale Tourismus-Borse (ITB) Berlin, hosted 7 to 9 March 2023.

The three-day event held at Berlin ExpoCentre City (Messe Berlin) attracted tour content providers and tour operators from 125 countries. This year marked the 50th participation of Tourism Malaysia since it first joined the B2B travel show in 1972.

This year’s Malaysia delegation to ITB Berlin comprised seven state tourism boards, 15 tour operators, 15 hotels and resorts, and three tourism-related services. Sixty-eight participants representing 40 organisations joined the Tourism Malaysia Pavillion.

The Malaysia delegation was led by Datuk Mohd Zamri Mat Zain, Deputy Secretary General (Tourism), MOTAC who was accompanied by Dato’ Zainuddin Abd Wahab, Director General of Tourism Malaysia, and Dato’ Dr. Ammar Abd Ghapar, Senior Director of Tourism Malaysia’s International Promotion Division (Americas/Europe/Oceania).

Datuk Mohd Zamri Mat Zain commented: “ITB continues to be one of the best platforms for Malaysian tourism players to meet up with German and European outbound agents and airlines, where we get to share the latest information on Malaysia’s tourism products and new tourist attractions in our effort to revive the tourism industry further.”

He also emphasised Malaysia’s unique ecotourism destinations and community-based tourism to be highly interesting to the European market.

In conjunction with ITB Berlin 2023, Tourism Malaysia introduced a new video part of its latest campaign, “Soul of Malaysia.” It was launched together with its new release of three main brochures, namely Malaysia Travel Guide, Nature & Adventure, and Island & Beaches in the German language. Three state tourism boards attending ITB Berlin also launched their new products and campaign, namely Gombak Hulu Langat Geopark by Tourism Selangor, Langkawi Green Geopark Package by Langkawi Development Authority (LADA), Sabah.

Tourism Board ́s new destination branding, Feel Sabah, North Borneo and Visit Melaka Year 2024 introduced by Melaka Tourism.

Since its full reopening of international borders, Malaysia has recorded 10.07 million tourist arrivals and earned MYR28.2 billion (EUR6.1 billion) in tourist receipts in 2022, surpassing its initial target of 9.2 million international tourist arrivals. In 2023, Malaysia is targeting 16.1 million international tourist arrivals and earnings of MYR49.2 billion (EUR10.5 billion) in tourist receipts.

Particularly in December 2022, Malaysia recorded 10,764 German tourist arrivals, which translates to a significant growth of 31.3% compared to 8,197 arrivals in December 2019.

Malaysia welcomed 57,780 German tourist arrivals in 2022, compared to 130,221 arrivals in 2019. With enhanced air connectivity and promotional efforts in 2023, Tourism Malaysia looks forward to achieving exponential growth in the German outbound travel market.

MATTA strengthens links with Europe

BERLIN, 10 March 2023: The Malaysian Association of Tour and Travel Agents (MATTA) signed Memorandums of Understanding with three European Tour and Travel Agency Associations during ITB Berlin, 7 to 10 March.

It achieves a new level of cooperation between Malaysian tourism stakeholders and their European counterparts.

MATTA President Tan Kok Liang and the presidents of the following European travel trade associations signed memorandums:

• Anne-Marjut Väänänen, president of the Association of Finnish Travel Industry (SMAL)
• Pawel Niewiadomski, president of the Polish Chamber of Tourism (PIT)
• Kulli Karing, president of the Estonian Travel and Tourism Association (ETFL)

The signing was witnessed by:
• HE Dr Adina Kamarudin (Ambassador of Malaysia to the German Republic);
• The Honorable Christina Liew (Minister of Tourism, Culture and Environment Sabah);
• The Honorable Loh Tze Yee (Perak State Executive Council of Tourism, Industry, Investment and Corridor Development);
• The Honorable Hee Loy Sian (Selangor State Executive Council of Tourism & Environment)

The memorandums place sustainable tourism as the centre of future growth and also focus on enhancing consumer awareness of Malaysia as a safe and attractive holiday destination in Polish, Finnish and Estonian outbound travel markets.

This agreement with the global travel agency associations builds on existing collaboration between the organisations to keep geared towards restoring consumer travel confidence.

“I am excited to work very closely with our European counterparts to further develop inbound travel potential into Malaysia. We will be developing new marketing and communication strategies to meet the demands for high-value tourism products,” said MATTA president Tan Kok Liang.

“Southeast Asia is inexpensive for European travellers, but costly airfares and limited connectivity hinder travel. They are the biggest obstacles for those looking to travel to our region. We hope this renewed interest in Malaysia and the region will encourage airlines to establish more direct routes”.

MATTA has participated independently at ITB Berlin since 2018 and has negotiated several Memorandums of Understanding with counterparts from high-potential source markets. It is also a member of the European Travel Agents and Tour Operators’ Associations (ECTAA)

“Our participation in ITB Berlin and our commitment to the European market strongly underlines our sustainable tourism strategy, which we believe will be key to the future of our nation, its people and our economy in the long term,” the MATTA president added.

Ex-PATA CEO claims colonialism thrives

By
TTR WEEKLY
-

SINGAPORE, 10 March 2023: Thriving colonialism in Asia in the form of preferential treatment of western, usually white male executives, is a commonly accepted practice in Asia, says former Pacific Asia Travel Association CEO Liz Ortiguera in a hard-hitting opinion column in Wednesday’s Skift news edition. 

Claiming colonialism has had a complex impact on Asian women’s career progression, Ortiguera lists it as one of the biggest obstacles the Asian continent presents for women working in travel and tourism.

Liz Ortiguera.

She made the comments just weeks after resigning from the PATA CEO post after completing just one year and 10 months of her three-year contract. She was the first female PATA CEO in the association’s 72 years.

Featured in Skift’s edition for International Women’s Day, she asserted: “On one hand, colonial powers introduced Western education and corporate opportunities that allowed some women to pursue careers outside of traditional gender roles. Unfortunately, colonialism also reinforced patriarchal business cultures and created multi-layered, deep socio-economic power disparities.”

Her guest column claimed colonialism contributed to white male executives favouring their own for promotions and assignments and the discrimination toward Asian female job seekers.

“This sense of entitlement can also enable the pursuit of corrupt self-interests. It also makes Asian women feel that leadership roles are not attainable.”

She highlighted the plight of articulate Asian women who can suffer backlash and the label “disrespectful” when just voicing their opinion, asking a question and speaking as an equal.

Her column changes tack, honing in on the bias against short people. A study published in the Journal of Applied Psychology found that taller individuals were perceived as having greater leadership potential than shorter individuals.

“In reality, aspects such as communication skills, experience and track record should factor more strongly. Look at the following leaders shorter than 5’5”: Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Corazon Aquino, Angela Merkel, Jack Welch and Desmond Tutu.

“How many other great leaders might we have if this caveman-era bias weren’t prevalent? The world needs more petite, rational leaders and less of the tall, angry, shouting version.”

She rounds off her viewpoint by urging the tourism and travel industry to enact a zero-tolerance policy against sexual harassment and overt bias.

As for helping women in Asia overcome the challenges they face in landing executive roles in the travel industry,” she leads off with a list of solutions; among them, “avoid man-els — all-male panels — and all-white panels in Asia.”

Liz Ortiguera is the founder of Bridge Experiences, a marketing consultancy company. A veteran travel and corporate business executive, she’s held roles at Merck and American Express Global Business Travel before joining PATA in May 2021 as its first female CEO.
