THE Malaysia International Travel Mart (MITM) Travel Fair is back in Johor, with more than 60,000 visitors expected over three days.
Event organising chairman Vin Ng said this year's fair from July 18 to 20 in Sutera Mall, Skudai, would have the highest number of exhibitors to date.
'There will be 19 travel agencies, with booths on the second level of the mall, offering travel packages.
'We aim to generate more than RM18mil in sales revenue over the three days,' he said in a press statement.
Ng added that the annual event served as a one-stop marketplace for tourism players to promote affordable and attractive international holiday packages.
Malaysian Chinese Tourism Association Johor chapter chairman Edwin Tay said visitors could expect more tourism destinations as the Japan National Tourism Organisation (JNTO) would be joining MITM for the first time.
'This marks JNTO's debut appearance in our fair, where it will be introducing exciting travel opportunities in Japan.'
He said the Taiwan Tourism Administration would also be at the fair to promote Taiwanese destinations.
He also announced that Sichuan Airlines had come on board as a sponsor of the travel fair.
Strong support has also been shown by Tourism, Arts and Culture Ministry, Tourism Malaysia and Tourism Johor, Tay added.
Visitors who spend a minimum of RM500 during the event will be eligible to participate in a lucky draw to win the grand prize of a Perodua Axia.
Admission to the travel fair is free.
