Positive growth in the travel industry during this year’s Hari Raya Aidilfitri holiday season indicates that the rising cost of living is no deterrent for Malaysians to continue travelling, whether locally or beyond the borders.

A 111% growth is seen in international travel bookings made by Malaysians during Hari Raya (March 29-April 6), according to Trip.com. This is in comparison to the previous year’s (April 6-14, 2024) numbers.
