The first milestone has already been reached: starting on 5 November 2018 Condor Airlines will be offering direct flights from Germany to Malaysia. Speaking at ITB Berlin, Condor Manager Dr. Jens Boyd expressed his confidence: “This new route fills a gap that offers a great potential.”

The worldwide tourism campaign ‘Visit Malaysia Year 2020’ is also aimed at establishing Malaysia on the holiday market, and a number of events distributed throughout the year will create a greater awareness of the country as a destination. Tourism specialists have set themselves an ambitious target: to boost visitor numbers to 36 million by 2020.
