TELEKOM Malaysia (TM) has teamed up with new partners to further promote Visit Malaysia 2020 (VM2020) through its Travel Pass, a prepaid SIM card for non-Malaysian tourists launched in January.
The recent collaboration, which is an extension of TM’s tie-up with Tourism Malaysia last month, sees new partners on board, namely Fave, Klook, KL Tower and Malaysia Healthcare Travel Council (MHTC).
The launch and signing of the partnership between the companies relates to the promotional campaign of VM2020.
Visitors can now pick up their tourist SIM cards at KL Tower to collect points when visiting iconic landmarks.
The partnership with Klook aims to give travellers better value by offering travel services that complement the Unifi package with travel passes such as KLIA Ekspres and Touch ‘n Go cards, enabling them to navigate with ease.
Fave allows travellers to utilise the mobile payment and savings platform for dining and entertainment throughout Malaysia.
“This collaboration is in support of VM2020 and to attract visitors to Malaysia and TM’s role in realising Malaysia’s aspirations as a digital nation,” said TM marketing head Lai Shu Wei.
Lai said travelling had changed from the past, with the Internet being part and parcel of the whole experience.
The travel package enables travellers to sign up online and through partners Klook or Fave as well as pick up their prepaid SIM card at Tourism Malaysia’s information counters located at all international airports.
“This allows tourists to have better access to promotions, deals and lines of communication after they arrive,” said Lai.
The Travel Pass provides unlimited access to data and WiFi is available at over 8,000 hotspots.
MHTC offers and distributes Travel Pass to patients, and can be collected at the Malaysia Healthcare Concierge & Lounge located at major airports.
“Although tourists are away from home, they are still connected,” said Lai.
Present at the event were Fave Malaysia managing director Datuk Jake Abdullah, Klook marketing head Emily Tan, Menara KL Sdn Bhd chief executive officer Datuk Rozlan Mohamed and MHTC chief executive officer Sherene Azli.
