Tourism safety is a priority

IN conjunction with Visit Malaysia 2026 (VM2026), ensuring the safety of every tourist must be treated as a national priority. A safe and trustworthy experience is essential to strengthen our global reputation as a popular tourist destination.

No amount of pristine beaches, vibrant cities or cultural richness can compensate for a perception – or worse, a reality – of unsafe travel conditions. News of accidents, whether fatal crashes on our highways or tragedies at sea, travels swiftly and globally.
