Selangor Aims for 9 Million Tourists in 2026 | Tourism Selangor | MATTA Fair 2026 | Chua Yee Ling
At MATTA Fair 2026, Travel And Tour World's Emmy sits down with Chua Yee Ling, CEO of Tourism Selangor, for an exclusive interview on Selangor's growing travel appeal. Chua shares that this year's MATTA Fair is buzzing with crowds, with Pavilion Selangor standing as the biggest domestic pavilion at the fair, featuring a total of 124 booths. Tourism Selangor is presenting a wide range of travel packages covering ecotourism, agrotourism, culture and arts, theme parks, hotels and resorts, and even camping and glamping. With a strong focus on experiential tourism, visitors at the Selangor booth can take part in interactive workshops to experience local culture and arts firsthand, with travel packages available at discounts of up to 50%. Chua also highlights Selangor's strategic location, being home to the main airport that serves as the first entry point for many foreign tourists, while also being centrally accessible for domestic travellers from the north, south, and Borneo. Tourism Selangor works closely with travel agents to design itineraries that include workshops, accommodation, F&B, and destination visits. The interview also spotlights Selangor's lesser-known ecotourism destinations, including its first UNESCO-recognized Forest Institute and the 20 geosites of Hulu Selangor, such as Batu Caves, Kanching Waterfall, and Selayang Hot Springs, ideal for family trips. Looking ahead, Tourism Selangor aims to grow visitor arrivals to 9 million in 2026, building on last year's success of 8.4 million, supported by upcoming major events including the Malaysian GP F1.
