The Malaysian delegation headed by Mr Sulaiman Suip, Senior Deputy Director of the Package Development Division, Tourism Malaysia, comprises travel agents, representatives from Sabah Tourism Board, and Mr Wizani Rosmin, Director of the Tourism Malaysia Shanghai office.

Malaysia’s scuba diving industry holds immense appeal for Chinese travellers due to several fascinating factors. The abundance of extraordinary dive sites that cater to divers of all skill levels—from the renowned Sipadan Island hailed as one of the world’s top dive destinations, to the breathtaking dive spots on Redang Island and Tioman Island.

Moreover, Malaysia’s reputation for warm hospitality resonates strongly with Chinese travellers.
