YBrs. Dr. Yasmeen binti Yasim, Deputy Secretary General (Tourism), Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture stated: “Shopping is a prime component of our nation’s tourism industry. Since January to September 2024, tourist expenditure in the shopping segment reached RM26.98 billion, a significant 63% increase compared to RM16.56 billion logged in the same period in 2023. This represents 36.8% of the total tourism revenue of RM73.2 billion for this period. Hence, we are confident that the reintroduction of the Malaysia Mega Sale campaign this year will further boost this segment’s growth.”
