Each group consisted of four participants, including members of the public, local media, and representatives from ASEAN countries including public and media.
Participants were virtually brought in to solve mystery riddles using the notion of street shopping, cuisine, and the most recent tourist attractions in Langkawi, Kuala Lumpur, Pulau Pinang, Kuching, and Kota Kinabalu. Participants stood a chance to win prizes worth up to RM39,000, subject to the terms and conditions.
The event was concluded by Mr Iskandar Mirza Mohd Yusof, Deputy Director General (Planning) of Tourism Malaysia. “Through this event, the participants are able to get to know some of the new tourist attractions and food diversity in Malaysia through virtual lenses from the comfort of their homes. With the reopening of borders especially to Langkawi on 15th November 2021, we hope that by experiencing this virtual event all of you will be eager to plan your holiday to Malaysia,” said Mr Iskandar Mirza.
