Malaysia Is Asia's Favorite Conference And Exhibition's Hotspot!

Malaysia has ever since been voted Asia’s ‘Best Destination for MICE 2014’ by Business Destinations magazine. The magazine yearly lists a number of reasons and aspects on why the country really deserves the award as most attractive destination for MICE - meetings, incentives, conferencing, and exhibitions.

First, Malaysia is best known for its strategic location at the center of south-east Asia, between the booming economies of India, China and the Middle East. Over 60 airlines continuously provide direct access to Malaysia, from over 100 destinations worldwide. Further, Malaysia happens to possess a strong track record especially when hosting successful conferences, with always contributing in record-breaking attendances. It is rapidly rising as the main port of call for many international meetings.

Malaysia is completely equipped with cutting edge and purpose-built convention centers and meeting venues. The Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre has already be a perfect fit with a 3,000-seat plenary hall, 22,659sq m exhibit space and ample breakout rooms. It is also currently undergoing further expansion in order to cater to the increasing demand, with an additional 12,500sq m of meeting space, which is due for completion in 2017.

Another that is slowly becoming the world-class convention center in Malaysia is none other than the Borneo Convention Centre Kuching (BCCK). BCCK, which is conveniently located in the eco-friendly state of Sarawak, can easily accommodate up to 5,000 delegates. Are you currently seeking for more well-known MICE destinations that reside within Malaysia?

Try the Subterranean Penang International Convention and Exhibition Centre and the Penang Waterfront Convention Centre. And of course, you must not forget about Kuala Lumpur. In KL, you can try the new MATRADE Exhibition Centre, which already completed since 2015, will later be the largest exhibition Centre with a well-developed floor space of over 90,000sq m.
