Credited from: SCMP

Malaysia's aviation sector is showing signs of recovery, nearing pre-pandemic levels with nearly 90 million passenger journeys from January to November 2024.
International arrivals increased by 20.7% compared to 2023, led by a notable return of Chinese and Indian tourists.
Despite the growth, visitor numbers remain below the target of 27.3 million tourists for 2024, with only about 2.29 million from China.
The tourism industry is crucial for Malaysia's economy, having generated 71.3 billion ringgit in revenue in 2023.
Challenges persist: Competitive regional destinations and operational issues for Malaysia Airlines impact tourist arrivals.
