Tourism Malaysia successfully held the 38th edition of the Travel Malaysia Fair 2026 at the Singapore Expo Hall 6A from 10th to 12th April.
Organised by the Express & Excursion Bus Association (EEBA) in partnership with Tourism Malaysia Singapore, the three-day event was formally inaugurated by Malaysian high commissioner to Singapore Azfar Mohamad Mustafar.
Featuring 22 booths, visitors shopped around for deals on coach tickets, hotel stays and travel packages.
The event also featured a wide range of curated experiences tailored for the upcoming June school holidays in Singapore, making it an ideal platform for travellers to plan their mid-year getaways.
A new approach to cultural tourism
During the travel fair, Tourism Malaysia officially launched the Craft Trail Packages, a curated cultural tourism programme developed in collaboration with the Malaysian Handicraft Development Corporation (Kraftangan Malaysia).
These packages showcase the diversity and authenticity of Malaysia's traditional crafts through immersive and experiential journeys, with prices starting from as low as RM109 per person.
According to Tourism Malaysia director-general Mohd Amirul Rizal Abdul Rahim: "Whether you are a traveller seeking meaningful keepsakes or a cultural enthusiast eager to uncover the stories behind Malaysia's handmade treasures, this package invites you to discover some of the nation's most iconic craft makers and witness their artistry brought to life."
Travellers at the fair can explore several new trails, including:
- KL - Seremban Arts and Craft Trail: A two-day one-night journey connecting guests with local artisans, offering first-hand experiences in batik painting and sculpture-making.
- Jemari Halus @ Kuala Lumpur: A unique day tour that combines traditional craftsmanship with a visit to the iconic Petronas Twin Towers Skybridge.
- Heritage and Handicraft Showcase: Multi-day explorations through Selangor and Negeri Sembilan, featuring hands-on sessions in pottery, songket weaving and wood carving
