Welcome and as we say here in Malaysia, Selamat Datang!
As you might have already noticed, Malaysia is a land of beauty and diversity.
This is where you will fi nd stunning islands with white sandy beaches within reach of the world's oldest rainforest. There's also the mind boggling array of food influenced by the cuisine heritage of Malaysia's multi-ethnic population found in fi ne dining restaurants as well as street side vendors.
Malaysia is a country of contrasts and there is something here for everyone - sun-drenched beaches and tropical rainfall, fiery hot curries and delicious cold desserts, bustling cities and tranquil countryside. We have it all!
Here at the Ministry of Tourism, we are dedicated to ensuring that this country will remain a choice destination for visitors from all around the world. As we strive towards this goal, our work is made a easier because Malaysia is blessed with an abundance of natural beauty and the exciting contrasts of cultural diversity.
In 2009, millions of tourists continued to visit Malaysia despite global health fears and economic woes. We believe that this is a solid testament to Malaysia's international appeal as a safe, ail encompassing holiday destination.
I would like to congratulate Tourism Publications Corporation Sdn Bhd for, once again publishing Visitors Guide Malaysia. For more than 20 years, this book has consistently highlighted the wellknown as well as obscure places and experiences that Malaysia offers to all who arrive here looking for an unforgettable holiday.
Thank you.
