"Malaysia Tourism Report Q4 2014" Published


(MENAFNEditorial)

BMI sees a very bright future for Malaysia's tourism market with growth expected across all key indicators including inbound arrivals and outbound departures throughout the forecast period to 2018. As the number of tourists increases we will see healthy growth in tourism-related expenditure and industry value providing a boost to the hotel industry and creating a very positive potential investment environment.

Arrivals to Malaysia are dominated by countries within the Asia Pacific region owing to the multitude of travel connections including air road rail and sea travel and the relative affordability of regional travel. Many countries within this region such as key source markets including China and Singapore are experiencing healthy domestic economic growth leading to increased private financial consumption. In line with this we are forecasting healthy growth in the number of visitors to Malaysia. Arrivals from other regions are also expected to increase though these markets remain vulnerable to potential economic declines which could affect arrivals. Overall we expect arrivals to increase from 27.7mn in 2014 to 29.2mn in 2015 and further to 34.4mn in 2018 a substantial potential market.

Although smaller than the inbound travel market outbound travel is expected to show healthy growth throughout the forecast period as Malaysia's domestic economy continues to expand reaching an estimated 13.5mn in 2018 up from 10.9mn in 2014.
