Destination Asia Malaysia recently joined forces with Tourism Malaysia and Malaysia Airlines to welcome 21 UK travel partners on a Mega Familiarisation Trip showcasing the country’s culture and hospitality.
Supported by hospitality partners including YTL Group and Shangri-La Group, the program offered an immersive introduction to Kuala Lumpur. Participants explored the capital by public transport, joined a guided walk through Chinatown and tackled the 272 steps leading to Batu Caves.
The itinerary also provided an overview of the city’s varied hotel scene through inspections at Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur, Moxy Kuala Lumpur Chinatown and Traders Hotel Kuala Lumpur.
Food played an equally important role. Hosted meals included lunches at Shangri-La and Traders Hotel, dinner at Malaysian restaurant Bijan and a special dinner at Li Yen at The Ritz-Carlton Kuala Lumpur.
Destination Asia Malaysia team members, Marlinda (Linda) Lawrens, Reservations Manager and Operations Executive Mohamad Fithri Al accompanied the group throughout, helping ensure the program ran smoothly. The trip provided an opportunity to showcase Kuala Lumpur to the UK travel market while strengthening relationships with partners and highlighting the breadth of experiences available in the Malaysian capital.
