KUALA LUMPUR: Despite the challenging global economic climate and perceived security concerns, many Malaysians are still choosing to travel, says Malaysian Association of Tour and Travel Agents (MATTA) chief executive officer Phua Tai Neng.

“I think people need a break, and you also have those who need to travel for business,” he said in an interview after the balloting ceremony for exhibitors for the upcoming 2017 MATTA Fair at its headquarters here yesterday.
