PETALING JAYA: With 12 Malaysian cities listed among the top 1,000 global cities in a recent Oxford Economics survey, the recognition can boost the nation’s tourism sector, say stakeholders.

Malaysian Tourism Federation president Datuk Tan Kok Liang said the listing can lead to increased curiosity and interest from potential tourists who may be more likely to choose Malaysian cities as their travel destinations.
