MALAYSIA IS BEST INTERNATIONAL DESTINATION 2008

Malaysia was recognized as the Best International Tourism Destination of 2008 by Global Traveler magazine readers. It was Malaysia's third straight win, having won the title in the past two years.

Global Traveler's annual survey received responses from more than 31,000 readers of the magazine this year, most of whom were frequent premium travelers who averaged 33 round-trip flights per year. Through the survey, they determined the best of business and leisure holiday products in 55 categories.

Winners of the 2008 survey were featured in the December issue of Global Traveler magazine, while a cocktail reception to celebrate the winners will be held on 15 January 2009 at the Hotel Bel-Air in Los Angeles.

Global Traveler is a US-based business travel publication that caters mainly to executive travelers in North America who appreciate business and luxury travel. This is the 5th year that they are conducting the survey.
