New campaign beckons Malaysian travellers to Hong Kong

Malaysia Airlines has teamed up with the Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) to encourage Malaysians to visit Hong Kong's cultural landmarks and modern attractions. 

The initiative is part of the national carrier's campaign launched earlier this year to connect travellers to over 60 destinations. 

Malaysia Airlines will operate 14 direct weekly flights between Kuala Lumpur and Hong Kong. Economy Class tickets start at 999 Malaysian ringgitts for return flights, with booking available from March 17 until April 30, 2025 and travel valid until November 30, 2025.

Hong Kong features a range of attractions, including Victoria Peak, Ocean Park Hong Kong, Ngong Ping 360, and Tsim Sha Tsui.

The city also offers a growing number of facilities catering to Muslim travellers, with 153 halal-certified or Muslim-owned eateries, 55 hotels, five attractions, and multiple MICE venues holding accreditation for Muslim-friendly services, the airline said in a statement. 

Liew Chian Jia, regional director of Southeast Asia of the Hong Kong Tourism Board said that they aim to create more opportunities for Malaysian visitors to discover all that Hong Kong has to offer. 

The Malaysia Aviation Group also renewed its partnership with the Singapore Tourism Board last month to strengthen Singapore’s appeal as a top destination for Malaysian travellers.
