We are confident that this MATTA Fair Online will be a success for the participating agents and the industry as a whole.

MATTA President Datuk Tan Kok Liang said “Despite the physical MATTA Fair not being held in March and September 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, MATTA is establishing a completely new digital platform to facilitate MATTA members of travel agents and tour operators and other tourism service providers to sell holidays packages to consumers, focusing mainly on domestic travel and holidays.”
