“Our first MITM Travel Fair following the pandemic, which was hosted at Mid Valley Kuala Lumpur, had been a tremendous success with RM45 million in sales. For 2023, we are going all out to further assist our members in all 8 chapters to rebuild the industry. We hope that the travel industry will recover as soon as possible. It is not easy but we are confident that we can recapture the market, despite the changes that travel agencies have to adopt.”
