The 54th edition of the MATTA Fair will be Malaysia’s biggest consumer travel and holidays fair, attracting an average of 150,000 visitors in its previous show in 2023. The MATTA is renowned as the “much-awaited travel and holidays fair” by the consumer and is the “highly-in-demand” platform for industry stakeholders and players to showcase, market and sell their packages and offerings to the consumers.
MATTA Fair is free to attend from 1000 to 2100 over three consecutive days, from Friday, 22 March to Sunday, 24 March. MATTA has collaborated with local authorities to manage traffic flow to provide easier travel to MITEC and reduce potential traffic congestion.
As part of these efforts, MATTA offers free shuttle services with a regular frequency from key locations – KL Sentral and Sunway Putra Mall directly to MITEC and back. This free shuttle service provides visitors with convenient transportation to MITEC for the Fair. MATTA would like to encourage all to use the free shuttle service to MITEC and back.
MATTA and MITEC are providing Muslim visitors and exhibitors dedicated F&B facilities and services for “buka puasa” at various locations at the venue and dedicated prayer halls at Hall 5.
