Malaysia expects 3.5 lakh tourists from India

The Malaysian government expects around 3.5 lakh tourists from India next year and has made arrangements in this regard, including launching new schemes, a Malaysian official said today. "Tourism is the second biggest industry in Malaysia and Indian tourists, in terms of number, ranked ninth among the foreign visitors," Joseph K Josh, Marketing Manager, Malaysian Tourism Department, said. The number of Indian tourists visiting Malaysia was going up steadily, he said, while addressing a seminar organised by the Malaysian Airlines and Tourism Department. Malaysia would celebrate 2007, the golden jubilee year of the country's independence, as "Visit Malaysia 2007", he added.
