The “Great Australian Deals” fair will be promoted across radio, online, print, and social media and amplified via partnerships with airlines, State and Territory Tourism Organisations and key Malaysian distribution partners. Having helped achieved over 10,000 bookings for partner airlines in previous editions, this year’s campaign aims to facilitate aviation recovery and help boost Australia’s visitor numbers to pre-COVID levels.

Commenting on this year’s travel fair, Karen Saw, Country Manager for Malaysia, Tourism Australia, notes that Australia has always remain top-of-mind as a travel destination for Malaysians, and she expects keen interest in this year’s travel deals. According to Tourism Australia’s latest consumer research, ‘Future of Demand’, Malaysia is the

Ms Saw added, “Australia is a well-loved and popular destination for many Malaysians, as it meets many of the priorities Malaysian travellers have in a holiday, whether its soft adventure to exceptional food and cuisine. We are excited to bring together 15 leading travel partners to bring some exclusive deals at unbeatable prices for Malaysians. From flights to accommodation and even experiences, you’ll find everything you need to plan the ultimate holiday that is truly value-for-money.”
