MELAKA TARGETS 11 MILLION VISITORS IN 2011

In 2010, Melaka attracted about 10.4 million visitors to her shores. Visitors came from other states of Malaysia and also from overseas to view Melaka's historical attractions and other cultural/food heritage. To our visitors, we want to express our sincere thanks in coming to our shores.

We hope you had an unforgettable experience in Melaka. Do come again and invite your relatives and friends to explore Melaka.

For 2011, the Melaka State government is targetting for the number to reach 11 million. This figure looks large BUT with all Malaccans in Melaka and around the globe, we can strive to reach this figure. Egypt with her long history of a few thousand years and ancient monuments, attracted about 30 million visitors.

So, for Melaka, we have a long way to go as our history is short (only 600 years). However, we have a mixture of living heritage, food heritage, hospitality, friendliness, charm and courtesy to attract more visitors. We want to make our visitors to feel at home, safe and enjoy our hospitality.

We welcome visitors from far and near.
