Tourist destinations such as Genting Highlands, Cameron Highlands, Kuantan City, Cherating, and Pulau Tioman remain relevant and continue to attract attention with the number of tourist arrivals consistently increasing yearly, he said in a statement today.
According to Tourism Malaysia data, he said that Kuala Lumpur ranks second with 9.8 million people, followed by Johor (7.4 million people), Selangor (6.1 million people), and Penang, which recorded a total of 5.2 million local hotel guests.
