One of the event that I won't miss out if I am around Sabah - non other than MATTA Fair, the no.1 travel and tourism fair in Malaysia. I went two years ago (click HERE) but as for last year, I didn't went because I was away for my trip. Fret not, cause MATTA Fair is happened annually and this year, it happened again for three days this year, starting from 5th of July until 7th of July at Suria Sabah.
#1: Most of the booths are located on basement floor
I can see this year MATTA Fair Sabah is mostly dominated by Malaysia Airlines. But as for AirAsia, Royal Brunei or even Malindo Air, I didn't spotted any of them this year. Wondering why?
#2: Impressive exhibition booth of the world class airline located at the ground floor
If you need advise, tips and guides, there are few booths of these tourim organisation to help in answering all your doubts and queries.
#3: Taiwan Tourism Organisation
#4: Korea Tourism Organsation
#5: Macau Tourism Organisation
#6: Wonderful Indonesia
Besides that, this year exhibition booth for cruises are getting more and more compare to last few years. Mainly because the well-known cruise operator, Genting Hong Kong's Star Cruises will soon to homeport in Kota Kinabalu in this coming November.
#8: Trafalgar Cruise#7: Genting Hong Kong's Star Cruises
Besides cruises line, I also noticed that Muslim Packages in this fair are getting popular and offered by most of the travel agencies.
#9: Affordable and friendly Muslim Package
#10: Tabung Haji Travel Service - Never knew about this until now
Oriental countries like Taiwan, Japan, China, Hong Kong & Korea seems to be the most popular and almost everyone favourite travel packages like every other years. Whereas Indochina countries like Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar seems to be limited of choices. Eventhough most of the offers were focus on outbound packages especially, there are few inbound available but not as much choices compare to the outbound packages.
#11: Borneo Rainforest Lodge - Adventure to Danum Valley
#12: Borneo Paradise Holidays for Borneo Hospitality
To be frank, I kinda prefer the one that held in Kuala Lumpur cause there are more booth especially on the tourism board such as Japan and Thailand and even on the Korea Tourism Organisation booth itself, I tends to get more information, tips and guidance from them.
