Malaysia stories

With millions of tourists coming every year thanks to its strategic location, biodiversity, and rich cultural legacy, Malaysia is quickly becoming a player in the global attractions market. The nation offers attractions for various interests and demographics, from zoos and theme parks to museums and cultural centres.

The Legoland Malaysia Resort in Johor opened in 2012. This 76-acre park is a harmonious blend of entertainment and education with a water park and hotel. It has captured domestic visitors’ hearts and become a sought-after destination for international travellers.

Kuala Lumpur’s Zoo Negara was founded in 1963 and is home to over 5,000 animals representing over 400 species. A highlight is the Giant Panda Conservation Centre. This houses two pandas on loan from China and has increased both international attention and visitor numbers.

In Malaysia, museums are also significant to the tourism industry. Scholars and tourists alike are drawn to the Islamic Arts Museum Malaysia in Kuala Lumpur because of its vast collection of Islamic artefacts, manuscripts, and art. Similarly, the Sarawak Cultural Village in Kuching provides a firsthand look at the traditional ways of living of the indigenous tribes of Borneo through real longhouses and live cultural events.

The country is also home to Genting SkyWorlds theme park. This combines cutting-edge thrills and attractions with gorgeous highland scenery.

These diverse offerings underscore Malaysia’s commitment to creating quality attractions and positioning itself as a dynamic Southeast Asian tourism hub.
