Throughout the four-day exhibition, Tourism Malaysia will engage in high-level networking sessions with Iranian travel experts, professionals, and industry players from the tourism and hospitality sectors.

“Malaysia is currently among the few countries offering visa-free stays not exceeding 14 days for Iranian passport holders. Iran remains one of Malaysia’s top international tourist-generating markets in the Middle East, with arrivals totalling 13,506 from January to September 2023.” remarked Dato’ Dr Ammar Abd. Ghapar, Director-General of Tourism Malaysia.
Building upon the success of last year’s joint destination seminar to Isfahan and Shiraz in August 2023, supported by Air Arabia, Malaysia affirms its standing as one of the top-of-mind travel destinations for Iranians in gearing up for Visit Malaysia Year 2026.
Iranian travellers can conveniently access Malaysia from various cities, including Tehran, Mashhad, Isfahan, Tabriz and Shiraz, utilising renowned carriers such as Qatar Airways, Emirates, Etihad Airways and Air Arabia.
