Sedunia Travel introduces the “In My Backyard” campaign to showcase Malaysia’s hidden treasures.
Kuala Lumpur, 10 June 2020 – Following the government’s statement on the Recovery MCO phase which begins today until 31 August and opening interstate travel, most Malaysians will certainly be excited to get out and travel domestically once more. Ready to take Malaysians on an adventure with the introduction of their domestic travel campaign, In MY Backyard, Sedunia Travel has a plethora of local travel packages that showcases the beauty and appeal of our very own country.
Domestic travel has always played a significant role in Malaysia’s GDP, contributing RM60.4 billion to the economy in 2018. The sector also accounted for 3.5 million jobs that year. However due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the travel and tourism section suffered an estimated revenue loss of RM3.37 billion between January and February 2020 alone.
With a colourful blend of history and culture, stunning natural attractions, exciting vibrant cities and mouth-watering local cuisine across its many states, Malaysia is a hidden gem just waiting to be rediscovered once more during this time. Sedunia Travel is excited to show travellers what Malaysia has to offer through the In My Backyard campaign. A series of articles featuring Malaysia’s famous laksa, Island Getaways and more have been curated to inspire Malaysians to see and explore their own country. These are available on The Malaysian Traveller for traveller’s reading pleasure.
Sedunia Travel’s social media channels will also be filled with fun filters, videos, postings, quizzes and photos from fellow travellers and partners to highlight Malaysia’s many hidden treasures. Travellers are encouraged to follow and hashtag #MYBackyard #SeduniaTravel in their travel photos to spread more inspiration and joy amongst fellow Malaysians in the coming months as Malaysia comes together to recover its local tourism.

Annie Woo, Manager of Leisure Division – Asia said, “Malaysia has much to offer and we should be proud of what our own country has to offer. After almost three months of lockdown, a short escape to a local destination is what many need right now. To build confidence in travelling once more amongst travellers, we work very closely with our hotel and airline partners to ensure that stringent guidelines are implemented. Through our ready-to-go travel packages around Malaysia, all the travel arrangements from transport to accommodations to activities are taken care of by us. Of course, guests can let us know if they wish to customise their plans. We even have honeymoon packages ready for newlyweds.”

Our frontliners have worked tirelessly for the wellbeing of the entire nation in the past few months and we want to thank them for their efforts. It’s now up to the citizens of Malaysia to uphold their good efforts even when they are travelling.
