Malaysia’s website ‘a model of e-tourism’

KOTA KINABALU: Malaysia's tourism website has been described as a model of e-tourism by a United Nations body.

“One only needs to look at the Government of Malaysia tourist website to appreciate the value and relevance of e-tourism for a modern economy,” United Nations Conference Trade and Development (UNCTAD) secretary-general Dr Supachai Panitchpakdi said yesterday.

He said the superb display of marketing graphics and designs directing visitors immediately to separate portals for consumers and business travellers was excellent.

“Relevant information is available at one’s fingertips. This is the marvel of e-tourism, a dramatic demonstration of the burgeoning partnership between technology and the travel industry,” he said when opening the UNCTAD conference.

The Malaysian tourism website at www. tourism.gov.my gets an average of 12.3 million hits a month.

Above was reported by The Star. Well, that's not everything, you can have 666 million hits a day but if the tourism board fails to better its' role all effort will melt down to zero.

Here are the details, even the Tourism Minister isn't helping much of the situation.
