Goodmorning lovelies!

If you didn't already know, yesterday was the first day of the Malaysia International Tourism Exchange (MITE) 2012!

I  was so psyched to go but couldn't as some change of plans had me unable to attend Day One 🙁

However, I'm so excited for today; le boyfriend and I are gonna be at MITE 2012 the whole day yay!

Oh but first, for those not in the know of what MITE 2012 is all about, it is basically the largest tourism exchange event in Malaysia 

The Malaysian International Tourism Exchange (MITE) 2012 offers us more than the usual shiznit of travel/tourism fairs that you typically see.

Throughout its duration, MITE 2012 will not only showcase domestic & foreign travel agencies as well as tourism companies, it will also hold full days of jam-packed fun-filled activities perfect for all friends and family!

Here is what they have in store for us :

The Sunday treasure hunt which I've talked about here

The photo / video contest which I've shared here

And what I'm really, really keen on seeing (and perhaps joining!) today are these :

Interesting ey? Bet it'll be pumping us up all day long! 😀

Also, being a hiphop/street style junkie back in the day, I can't wait to watch these too :

One for the aspiring singers!

Children are not left out either!

I'm so excited already. Can't wait! 

Apart from getting heaps of vacation/holiday information & awesome tourism/travel deals and packages, tomorrow all till Sunday will definitely be an inspiring and exciting experience for all of us.

Think : international performances, games, competitions, food, sharing & exchanging cultural practices/festivities around the world too! 

So I'll see you in a bit, aight?  Be prepared for an adrenalin rush! I sure am.

Leaving to Malaysia Agro-Exposition Park Serdang now!

Just got word that there will be a notable two-day conference followed by a prestigious awards ceremony that's all happening early next month.

I am more than honoured to be one of the official bloggers to represent and blog about the Malaysian International Tourism Bloggers Conference & Awards – an event of such a grand scale!

This global event for bloggers – organized by the Ministry of Tourism in association with Social Media Chambers – aims to honour and award tourism bloggers across the globe for extensively promoting tourism in Malaysia.

16 categories and 16 awards will be awarded to the most deserving travel bloggers who blog about tourism, tourist spots and share Malaysia in one way or another.

It's good to know that the government has acknowledged and is now riding on

the waves of blogging and social media! 🙂

Experience our city that never sleeps. Think : food, shopping & nightlife!

Immerse yourself in our cultural experience & getaways!

An excellent move to boost tourism in Malaysia, if I do say so myself. 

The ministry aims to attract 36 million tourists, a goal targeted based on last year's 24.6 million tourists last year.

The two-day conference will be held on :

8th & 9th of May 2012 at Seri Pacific Hotel, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
