Thus, we aim to provide an incredible experience showcasing Malaysia\u2019s best scuba diving industry while fostering sustainable practices.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the event, Malaysia highlighted its commitment to sustainable tourism, promoting responsible diving and marine conservation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Malaysian delegation, headed by&nbsp; Tourism Malaysia senior deputy director of the Package Development Division Sulaiman Suip, comprised travel agents, representatives from the Sabah Tourism Board, and&nbsp; Tourism Malaysia Shanghai office director Wizani Rosmin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Malaysia&#8217;s scuba diving industry appeals to Chinese travellers due to several factors. The abundance of extraordinary dive sites that cater to divers of all skill levels \u2013 from the renowned Sipadan Island, hailed as one of the world&#8217;s top dive destinations, to the breathtaking dive spots on Redang Island and Tioman Island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another compelling factor for Chinese travellers is the ease of access to Malaysia. There are currently 175 weekly flights from China to Malaysia. The extensive network of international flights connecting major Chinese cities to Malaysia offers convenient access. It should be a deciding factor for Malaysia to reach the target of 5 million Chinese tourist arrivals this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SHANGHAI, 20 July 2023: Malaysia made waves at the Diving and Resort Travel Expo Shanghai (DRT) 2023, captivating Chinese travellers with unparalleled underwater adventures during the week-long expo that closed on 16 July.
