The Malaysia Tourism Awards is the highest form of recognition by the Ministry of Tourism and Culture and Tourism Malaysia for industry players whose outstanding contributions have played a significant role in the success of Malaysia’s tourism industry.

He added that recognition and accolades such as this will only help to further the strides Hemas Travels is making in this regard.

“Winning this award is indeed an achievement, and I would like to thank all my team members and our associates for all their hard work and dedication. My team and I are committed to grow our business to Malaysia and we look forward to working closely with Tourism Malaysia,” he said.
