Travel in Malaysia continues on a strong path to recovery boosted by the end of the pandemic and a strong desire to travel again. There has been a significant increase in international travel thanks to the lifting of restrictions and COVID-19 related entry requirements.
Malaysia air travel is seeing rapid recovery in 2023, thanks to the re-opening of international borders with passenger numbers set to see a full return to pre-pandemic levels by the end of the year. Moreover, this recovery has been boosted by an increase in flights as Malaysia has welcomed two new airlines in the past two years (2022-2023): SKS Airways and MYAirlines.
The recovery of lodging in Malaysia in 2023 is being driven by the reopening of the country’s international borders, with key players like AccorHotels Group and Genting expecting to see strong growth and even for sales to surpass pre-pandemic levels in current value terms. Nonetheless, the number of room nights is expected to remain well below pre-pandemic levels with lodging still facing several challenges which are an obstacle to higher bookings.
Online booking sales continue to see dynamic growth and are expected to exceed pre-pandemic levels by the end of 2023 in current value terms. This is being supported by the rise of online travel agencies and apps.
Intra-Asia travel and regional travel will be key to the recovery of travel and tourism in Malaysia. Travel industry players and governments will need to work hand-in-hand to ensure the continuous recovery of tourism in the region.
