28th January 2019, London: This year at Destinations 2019, Tourism Malaysia is ready to explain why Malaysia should be at the top of everyone's travel agenda. Visit Tourism Malaysia on stand AP130 for a true sample of Malay culture and gain inspiration on where to go and what to see in 2019.

Tourism Malaysia will be joined by the Sabah Tourism Board who will be on hand to discuss the sustainable and eco-tourism options available in the region. There is much to do and see, from the turquoise-fringed desert islands with coral reefs swarming with marine biodiversity; the trekkers' paradise of Mount Kinabalu; and jungles pulsing with a menagerie of birdlife, gibbons, pythons, clouded leopards and proboscis monkeys. Around 55% of Sabah is forest, and protected areas such as the Maliau Basin and the Danum Valley Conservation Area are more accessible than ever.

Visitors to the show will have the chance to enter a prize draw to win a trip to Danum Valley in Sabah. Being remote from human habitation and almost alien to modern civilisation makes the Danum Valley Conservation Area a naturalists' paradise. Recognised as one of the world's most complex ecosystems, this forest serves as a natural home for endangered wildlife species such as banteng, Asian elephant, clouded leopard, orang utan, proboscis monkey, as well as a vast range of Sabah's lowland fauna. The prize includes return economy flights and 4-nights accommodation, which can be extended. Visit the Tourism Malaysia stand at Destinations for more information.
