The target for tourist arrivals in conjunction with Visit Malaysia 2026 (VM2026) remains on a positive track despite facing global uncertainties, particularly the conflict in West Asia, which has the potential to affect transit routes and the movement of international travellers.

Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture's deputy secretary-general (Tourism) Chua Choon Hwa said the tourist arrival performance as of February showed encouraging progress, with the number of arrivals increasing by more than 30 per cent, compared with the same period last year, giving confidence that the VM2026 target remains realistic to achieve.
