Malaysia Promotes VMY 2007 To US Businessmen

MIAMI (US) -- International Trade and Industry Minister Datuk Seri Rafidah Aziz today took to the task of promoting Malaysia as tourist destination to US businessmen in conjunction with Visit Malaysia Year 2007.

"I am doing this on behalf of the Tourism Minister (Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor). Where else can you find a top five-star hotel that offers its rooms for only US$100 a night?" she said at a seminar on "Business Opportunities in Malaysia" here.

The minister is leading a nine-day trade and investment mission to the United States from April 8. Miami, Florida, marked the first stop before Minneapolis in Minnesota and San Jose in California.

Rafidah told the seminar participants that Malaysia is well known for eco-tourism, jungle trekking, diving sites and sanctuaries.

Two of the country's tourist spots are also listed under Unesco's World Heritage sites, namely the Kinabalu Park in Sabah and Gunung Mulu National Park in Sarawak.
