Catering to the cultural preferences of Middle Eastern travelers, Malaysia showcased its strengths in halal tourism, including halal-certified restaurants and hotels, private villas with halal kitchens, and easily accessible mosques. To enhance accessibility, the MTPB announced new partnerships and promotional offers with Middle Eastern airlines and travel agencies, offering special packages and discounts tailored to the family market.
