More and more Chinese tourists choose Malaysia as a holiday destination

Malaysia is one of the favorite destinations of Chinese tourists this year, with 2017 set to see the number of Chinese visitors to the country rise by about 15 percent.

The Malaysian Tourism Ministry expects three million Chinese tourists to visit this year, which would be a record number.

After the introduction of easier visa facilities as well as a simplified tourist visa application process, visitor numbers to Malaysia have surged.

Mohamed Nazri Abdul Aziz, the Tourism and Culture Minister of Malaysia, said "we target to have four million tourists next year and eight million in 2020, this year we target about three million."
