Offering a galaxy of flight ticket and accommodation discounts, special travel deals, and exclusive tour packages for destinations across the globe, MATTA Fair 2016 burgeons with over 1,240 booths and 150 exhibitors manned by travel agents, tourism boards, airlines, hotels, tourism product vendors and service companies – so take a deep breath before jumping into the fray. Last year’s event was attended by a small city of consumers – over 100,000 people – so you’ll have plenty of competition on your hands. But with industry players eager to bend over backwards to ensure affordability, quality and convenience to prospective travelers, you should have no trouble booking your dream vacation to the destination(s) you desire, on the date(s) of your choosing, and on carriers of your preference.
The exceptional, “can’t even” blowout deals for 2016 are primarily from Tourism Malaysia (with 17,000 domestic packages on sale), Muslim/halal holiday organisers, and tourism boards for Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong. Also swooping in is Malaysia Airlines, which is waving exclusive deals to over 50 destinations under everyone’s quivering noses. Not to be outdone, Golden Destinations is seducing travelers with outrageous bargains to Asia, including a 5-day Bangkok tour for RM1,488; a 6-day Xi’an tour for RM2,288; and an 8-day South Korea tour for a preposterous RM3,488. Customers also have a chance to snag free tickets to Perth, Colombo, Bombay and Hong Kong as part of the MATTA Fair Buyers’ Contest.
And as you weave and wheeze your way through the roiling maze of booths in five mammoth halls at PWTC, Indonesian destinations will literally sing for your attention courtesy of popular artiste, Cakra Khan (brand ambassador for ‘Wonderful Indonesia’) – on hand to deliver vocal performances meant to ‘transport’ your spirits.
Or, you can just skip all the heartrending drama and book your tickets/packages online (details follow).
Happy shopping AND travels!
