This programme aims at exchanging Malaysia's experience and expertise on best practices in ecotourism, as well as to create a platform for discussion and engagement among ASEAN Member States delegates.
This year, 30 participants from ASEAN Member States, including Malaysia, took part in the 4-days event. In addition to the invited speakers' Knowledge Sharing Sessions, participants took part in experiential learning opportunities at The Habitat Penang Hill which demonstrates that public-private collaboration can be successful in developing natural assets such as green hills and 130-million-year-old rainforest into a high-value tourism attraction. Visits to Entopia and The Tropical Spice Garden as part of this programme provides participants with first-hand experience and exposure on the importance of invertebrates and edibles to the ecosystem and how
the two successful public-private collaborations had sustainably leverage their respective products such as butterflies and spices as ecotourism attractions.
ATRM 2024 aims to strengthen Malaysia's position as a leader in ecotourism in Southeast Asia by empowering human capital, sharing knowledge and experience, building collaborative relationships, and promoting the Visit Malaysia Year 2026 through featuring Malaysia's uniqueness as a top choice ecotourism destination. The ATRM 2024 was officiated by YBhg. Dato’ Roslan Tan Sri Abdul Rahman, Secretary General of MOTAC.
