Selangor received the highest number of tourist in 2017 while Melaka has received an acknowledgement as the must-visit city 2017 by TripAdvisor. With diverse halal food, Islamic prayer facilities and attractions, Malaysia perfectly meets the needs of Muslim tourists.

Out of six customers’ attributes, customer’s value proven to have the most significant impact on customer’s perception.
