MATTA Fair 2015

Held at the usual place at PWTC in Kuala Lumpur, visitors to the MATTA Fair March 2015 will have loads of choices in travel deals and packages from March 13 – 15.

So if you have planned a holiday or vacation for 2015, keep yourself free for Malaysia’s biggest travel fair and explore over 120 different exhibitors here.

At the Malaysia hall, you can find all of these packages being sold by large and small tour operators.

The bulk of them would be found at the Tourism Malaysia Booth, Sabah Tourism Booth and even the Sarawak Tourism Booth here. 

Other contest include the regular Buyers Contest and possible a MATTA Fair Instagram Contest too. 

Visitors will be spoilt for choices that include Muslim Packages to Japan, Korea, China, and many other countries.

One of them is highly active in promoting Muslim packages to Japan which is JNTO or the Japan Tourism Board who in the last year has increased the Muslim facilities around multiple places in Japan. 

Visitors looking for some cruise packages will be in for some great deals offered by popular cruise companies in Malaysia like Star Cruise which sails around Southeast Asia. 

Popular places include travel packages to Maldives and Bali among the many destinations. However, you should not discount Malaysia as there are a number of romantic destinations that can equal to places like Maldives and Bali.

For more information, you can also check out one of my experiences with my Mataking Island review in Sabah. 

Many large tour companies will be promoting destinations like Japan, China, Taiwan, Korea, Hong Kong, Cambodia, Vietnam, Bali, and Thailand.

To fully get the best deals, you really need to walk around and check out who is offering what. Also, there will be ground only packages which mean only the accommodations and airport transfers included where you need to buy your own flight tickets. 

Among the regular players here are Australia Tourism, Taiwan Tourism, Indonesia Tourism and one to especially look out for, the Japanese National Tourism Organization or JNTO booths.

However, you should be pleased to know that there are other international tourism boards from Turkey, Egypt, Dubai, Africa, Buthan and a number of other countries that will be there too. 

Local players like AirAsia, FireFly, and Malindo are popular booths to visit as, during the fairs, they will offer additional discounts for flight tickets purchased at the MATTA Fair.

I am unsure if Malaysia Airlines will be participating in the fair in 2015 but if they are, I will update the information as many already know that the airline is undergoing a restructure for the new branding of MAS NewCo. 

However, you need to always double check on the transit point timing and also check about the fuel surcharge. 

Conclusion

Don’t forget to check out the Matta Fair promotion packages and read about the common local terms used during the fair.

Again, some tips to remember before visiting the Matta Fair are important for everyone. Remember to go early to avoid the parking and traffic issues around the PWTC area.

If it allows, I would recommend you to take the Star LRT train here as it stops just opposite the PWTC and is only a 5-minute walk here.

If you are driving, come early to get parking and wear comfortable walking shoes. For those looking for some great travel deals and packages, make sure you block off the dates mentioned above for the March MATTA Fair.
