Sales Mission to elevate the inflow of potential International Travellers from Russia, Turkiye, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan to Selangor, Malaysia.

SELANGOR, MALAYSIA — Tourism Selangor, the Selangor State’s Official Tourism Promotion Agency, will be joining a series of visits to Moscow, Tashkent, Almaty and Istanbul to assist Tourism Malaysia in its goal to attract more tourists from Russia and Turkiye while preserving the bilateral ties. The visits with the delegation will be conducted for ten days, from 11th September until 20th September 2022.

The mission, which will be led by the Honourable Mr. Hee Loy Sian, Tourism and Environment Executive Committee and assisted by the Chief Executive Officer of Tourism Selangor, Mr. Azrul Shah bin Mohamad will showcase a wide range of market segmentation in Selangor while promoting the “Splendid Selangor, Take Me Anywhere!” Campaign. 

As of 2021, there is a 13.0% (231,914) increase in tourists from European countries visiting Selangor compared to the previous year when travelling was restricted. Hence, this is the ideal time for Selangor to resume its pre-pandemic growth, particularly for International travellers, as the travel ban has been lifted.
