Over 160 booths are occupied by travel agents, state tourism organizations, hotels, and theme parks. In addition, the exhibition also offers both local and international tours to customers. Penang MATTA chairman Vergis Matthew said that out of 160 booths, more than 60% of the booths at the fair will be focused on domestic tourism. Not only that, but through the exhibition, it is also estimated to attract about 30,000 visitors and generate sales of almost RM20 million. This is because the tourism exhibition is one of the important drivers of the tourism economy.]]> 2023-01-26 18:49:38 UTC https://padlet.com/kamaliahh19a0553/a2csmozvbojsbw76/wish/2458063858 kamaliahh19a0553 https://padlet.com/kamaliahh19a0553/a2csmozvbojsbw76/wish/2458071195 2023-01-26 18:54:36 UTC https://padlet.com/kamaliahh19a0553/a2csmozvbojsbw76/wish/2458071195 kamaliahh19a0553 https://padlet.com/kamaliahh19a0553/a2csmozvbojsbw76/wish/2458086856 2023-01-26 19:06:10 UTC https://padlet.com/kamaliahh19a0553/a2csmozvbojsbw76/wish/2458086856 kamaliahh19a0553 https://padlet.com/kamaliahh19a0553/a2csmozvbojsbw76/wish/2458099491 2023-01-26 19:15:46 UTC https://padlet.com/kamaliahh19a0553/a2csmozvbojsbw76/wish/2458099491 kamaliahh19a0553 https://padlet.com/kamaliahh19a0553/a2csmozvbojsbw76/wish/2458117096 2023-01-26 19:29:33 UTC https://padlet.com/kamaliahh19a0553/a2csmozvbojsbw76/wish/2458117096
