Matta Fair Deals

matta-fair-deals Matta Fair Deals

For the many visitors attending Malaysia’s largest travel fair, most would be looking for the best Matta Fair deals, where travel agents will offer all kinds of travel packages and promotions.

They are usually offered for domestic, international, and even special interest packages ranging from Muslims to groups and cruise packages.

Matta Fair Deals

The Matta Fair Deals are usually found by all the participating travel agents, where each tour company offers various promotions. Therefore, you should always have a destination in mind and head there to check out what is being offered.

Many times, the consumers who visit Malaysia’s largest travel fair will have a change of mind when they are there. All because other packages are more worth it than the one you are looking for.

For example, if you plan to look for a Bandung Package at Matta Fair, you may encounter many tour companies selling Bali packages, which are much more worth than the Bandung one. Some consumers will even buy both packages for the sake of the promotion.

Usually, the Matta Fair Deals are offered for popular destinations locally and internationally, such as Bali, Bangkok, Hong Kong, China, Taiwan, Korea, and Japan for international travel.

And for local destinations, popular places like Legoland, Penang, Langkawi, Sabah, and Sarawak are the favourite choices. For the Matta Fair, the Malaysian Ringgit has fared very low compared to the US Dollar; therefore, many will choose travel destinations around the region rather than far places.

Matta Fair Airline Deals

Airlines always take advantage of the Matta Fair by offering special promotions and valid deals when bought during the travel fair. Players like Malaysia Airlines, AirAsia, Malindo, and Firefly will promote special flight tickets throughout the fair.

They usually do this from their booths at the fair, and sometimes, they run it on their website. International airlines like Etihad, Emirates, Qatar Airways and British Airways will be active by offering cheap flight tickets to international destinations.

However, these kinds of promotions will be done through the travel agents who sell flight tickets and travel packages rather than the airlines not seen there. So, during each fair, you should note which airline offers the best deal on all airline tickets.

Matta Fair Domestic Deals

Domestic destinations will be among the most popular sellers during the Matta Fair because most consumers will travel locally, especially during the long school holidays or long weekends here in Malaysia. The domestic deals are in Hall 3, where all the local and domestic travel packages are sold.

Most of the time, the Matta Fair domestic deals do not include transportation and are ground only. This means you buy the package and find your way there. Flights can be included in your package for convenience, but the price will increase.

Destinations like Langkawi, Sarawak, and Sabah sometimes include flights, but many locals prefer to book their flight tickets based on the special promotions offered by the airlines.

Matta Fair Nature Package Deals

In addition to the general city and town packages sold, some consumers visit the fair to look for specific nature packages. Some agents are seen selling Taman Negara Tour Packages and various other tours to Sarawak and Sabah.

Many years ago, outdoor and nature packages were not very popular, but in the last five years or so, they have become popular among local travellers in Malaysia.

Matta Fair Cruise Deals

With Star Cruise being the leader in cruise packages, there will be many offers as many are now looking for cruise packages that take them to multiple countries on one trip. However, other cruise companies at the Matta Fair also offer promotions, including international cruise packages ranging from seven to thirty days.Companies like Royal Caribbean, Norwegian Cruise, and Costa Cruise are international players that offer these luxury packages, and they are found in the international hall.

Muslim Travel Packages to Japan.

Matta Fair Muslim Deals

Muslim travel deals are among the hottest packages being sold at the Matta Fair, where many Malaysians are travelling to new destinations based on these specialized Muslim packages.

Among the most popular are the Muslim travel packages to Japan, as the country has been working very hard to comply with the Halal certifications for selected restaurants and to open prayer rooms in various places. Other Halal destinations include China, Europe, Australia, Indochina, Korea, Japan, the Americas, and Africa.

However, reputable travel agents offer these special packages, and it is recommended that you speak to them directly to find out more about the facilities, food, and so on. You will surely see many travel agents selling Muslim Travel Deals at the Matta Fair.

Matta Fair Honeymoon Deals

A more selective travel deal to look for, there are travel agents that specialize in providing honeymoon packages at Matta Fair. However, those interested need to meet with the agents to discuss what these packages are included.

Usually, Bali and Maldives are top destinations for honeymooners. Lately, AirAsia X has opened up a new route to Mauritius, one of the new honeymoon destinations to look out for. Another popular honeymoon or anniversary package at the Matta Fair is buying one of the romantic cruise packages.

Unless you want something very special, like a honeymoon package to the Bahamas, you need to discuss this with the outbound travel agents, who can create a tailor-made tour package for you.

Matta Fair Family Travel Deals

No doubt, this is something many families look for as family travel has increased in the last 10 years and now even more with many airlines offering good discounts.

Most families will book packages for Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, China, and Bali. Still, those wanting to spend a bit more will choose destinations like Australia, New Zealand, and even Indochina.

Indonesia has been very aggressive with promotions in the last few years, so consumers will be interested in visiting new places in Indonesia. Some popular destinations include the Komodo Islands, Makassar, Gili Islands, Lombok, Sumatra, Jogjakarta, and Banyuwangi on Jawa Island.

Matta Fair Theme Park Deals

Another popular package sold is the Matta Fair theme park deals, which are well-received in places like Hong Kong, Singapore, and Indonesia. However, since China opened its latest Shanghai Disneyland, many plan to visit there. Other theme park destinations include Korea, Japan, and even Australia.

Update: The 20th Century Fox World theme park project has been cancelled in late 2018.

With that, Resorts World Genting will not promote this but its other theme parks, like Universal Studios Singapore. Malaysian theme parks, including the new MAPS Perak or Movie Animation Park Studios in Ipoh, Perak, should also be avoided.

Update: The MAPS Park is closed and has not operated since the pandemic.

Matta Fair Shopping Package Deals

A more targeted kind of travel is shopping travel packages, where consumers book shopping trips to other countries, namely Bangkok, China, or Indonesia. These are the common destinations for those wanting to buy for themselves or their businesses.
Several online companies or small retail vendors are looking at destinations like China for shopping travel packages. Indonesia is also high on the list, as many Malaysians are heading to Bandung or shopping in Jogjakarta, where many interesting and new products are offered.
However, the primary market is China, specifically Guangzhou and Yiwu, where smaller agents offer special shopping travel packages that include translators and other services.

Among all the deals offered at the Matta Fair, you must carefully decide which package suits you or your family. Do not buy based on it because it is cheap; sometimes, cheap does not mean good, and many have learned the hard way.

So, always check before buying. Over the years, I have written many articles on the Matta Fair and the Matta Fair Promotion Packages, which provide consumer information for those unsure about this.

Conclusion

Every year, the Matta Fair is held twice on a large scale in Kuala Lumpur, once at the beginning of the year and once more in September. Both travel fairs target holiday travel and will see over 100,000 visitors to each of the fairs. If you missed the first one, you can always target the second one for your year-end holidays, and at both fairs, great deals are always waiting to be bought.

For the best Matta Fair deals, you need to attend the travel fair to check the offers out, and if all works out well, you will be getting a fantastic bargain for your next vacation or trip. You may even walk away with two or three packages.

Hello Jana, thanks for the question on the Matta Fair Package Deals. Well, usually the promotions are offered at the fair itself, but in some cases, there are a few travel agents that also offer the promotion packages on their websites. And the packages need to be bought during the same time as the Matta Fair too. You need to check the different travel agents for this. Hope this provides you with the information needed.
