Show organiser MATTA noted that the 57th<\/sup> edition attracted a record turnout of travel consumers, drawn to the show by an expanded array of travel packages for domestic and international travel offered by licensed travel agencies, airlines, cruise lines, and hotels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the support of MATTA\u2019s partners, the fair recognises the commitment of Sabah as MATTA Fair\u2019s Malaysia\u2019s Favourite Destination, RHB Bank as the Exclusive Platinum Sponsor, Malaysia Aviation Group as the Official Airline Partner and Premier Sponsor, AmLeisure as the Fair\u2019s Media Partner, and Mayoly and Duria as sponsors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a leader in sustainable tourism, MATTA presented the largest-ever MATTA Eco & Sustainable Tourism Initiative (MESTI) pavilion. This initiative is powered through collaborations with leading sustainability-focused brands, including RHB Bank, Sabah Tourism Board, Penang Global Tourism, Resorts World Genting, Royal Selangor, AMPSPA, Easy Motorbike, and Pos Malaysia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through this meaningful step toward sustainability, MATTA has partnered with independent auditors to measure the carbon footprint of the MATTA Fair across all three days of the event. This initiative aims to understand the impact of the MATTA Fair and take tangible action to promote sustainable practices. MATTA is setting new standards for responsible and sustainable tourism events, while also strengthening its reputation among travellers, partners and industry leaders who value transparency and environmental stewardship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis MATTA Fair was a bold step toward a more sustainable and connected future.

Moving closer to Visit Malaysia 2026, the MATTA Fair is our way of telling the world that Malaysia is ready to welcome travellers not just with open arms, but with open hearts,\u201d said MATTA President Nigel Wong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
