According to the WTO, the ninth largest in the world, it was visited by 23.65 million foreign visitors in 2009, a 7.2% increase over the previous year. Malaysia received 13.29 million foreign visitors in 2002, 15th worldwide and 3rd in Asia after China and Hong Kong. Foreign visitors contributed $7.8 billion to Malaysia's $118 billion economy in 2004, making tourism the second largest source of foreign exchange earnings after exports of semiconductors and other products.

From 1990 to 2005, tourist arrivals increased from 7.4 million to 16.7 million, more than half bordering Singapore, mostly day tourists. Between 1990 and 2005, tourism revenue increased by $1.7 to $8.4 billion per year. In 2003, the government announced a US$105.3 million Special Tourism Fund to revitalize the tourism industry and a US$52.6 million Tourism Infrastructure Fund to build and improve tourism facilities and services.
