KUALA LUMPUR: Travel activities provided a stronger boost to Malaysia’s coffers in 2025, with a net inflow of RM49.2bil, up from RM37.4bil in 2024, driven by robust inbound tourism, according to the Finance Ministry.
Spending on outbound travel increased to RM61.4bil in 2025 from RM57.9bil in 2024. This was more than offset by higher receipts from foreign tourists and visitors, which rose to RM110.6bil from RM95.3bil over the same period.
