Already planning for your holidays next year? Make sure to include as many domestic destinations as you can on your schedule.

Of course, this is mainly because of Visit Malaysia 2026, which is targetting to attract 47 million international visitors. But, you would probably get more bang for your buck if you travelled domestically in 2026 anyway; Expect more discounts, special rates, and perhaps even complimentary add-ons from tourism-related businesses (airlines, hotels, theme parks, etc).
