Tourism Malaysia is the national body responsible for promoting Malaysia as a travel destination, operating within the travel arrangements sector from its base in Malaysia. Its history traces back to the Tourist Development Corporation, founded in 1972, which later evolved into the Malaysia Tourism Promotion Board and is now widely known by Tourism Malaysia. Its mission is to position Malaysia as a destination of excellence and to use tourism to contribute to the nation's socio-economic development. Its objectives include elevating Malaysia’s profile as a premier tourist destination, showcasing the country’s wonders and cultures, expanding the meetings, incentives, conventions and exhibitions (MICE) market, and increasing visitor numbers and length of stay. The agency also aims to foster domestic tourism, attract new investments, and generate employment opportunities while supporting broader economic growth and quality of life. In 2026, Tourism Malaysia participated in ITB China 2026 in Shanghai to promote bilateral tourism cooperation.
