Hello everyone,

Malaysia's Convention & Exhibition Bureau (MYCEB) is scheduled to be
operational by the end of this year.

The bureau is expected to play a big role in bringing more
international MICE (meetings, incentives, conventions and
exhibitions) business to Malaysia through focused marketing and
promotional efforts.

Tourism Malaysia director-general, Datuk Mirza Muhammad Taiyab, said
it would help to identify and bid for suitable and lucrative events
for Malaysia.

The bureau will comprise members of the private and government
sector. It will also lend support and give confidence to local
associations and MICE planners to bid for international conferences
and congresses.

DiscoveryMICE president and CEO, Mr Lee Choon Loong, said: "The
bureau, comprising both private and public sectors, is the perfect
platform for companies to work on some common strategies and
directions to stimulate the MICE business in Malaysia."

World Avenues executive director, Mr Ally Bhoonee, said the bureau
would add credibility to Malaysia as a MICE destination. He added: "A
professional establishment such as this one will help the country bid
for big congresses four to six years down the road. With dedicated
staff, there will be a chance of developing working relationships and
continuity in serving foreign MICE organisers and incentive houses."

One of DK Malaysia's main goals is to promote investment, business
opportunities, trade, travel and tourism in Malaysia and to assist
MIDA, MATRADE and Tourism Malaysia achieve their goals and
objectives. I look forward to hearing from all of you and have a
great day.

Remember, Now is a good time to Visit Malaysia!

All the best,
