On 27 November 2025, Tourism Malaysia announced that Malaysia has been honoured with two prestigious titles at the 2025 Top Asia Corporate Ball — “Asia’s Ultimate Shopping Paradise” and “Asia’s Street-Food Capital.”
These awards recognise Malaysia’s vibrant and diverse retail and culinary scene — reflecting a blend of cultures, flavours, and lifestyle experiences. According to the agency’s Director-General, the accolades affirm Malaysia’s commitment to excellence in tourism, hospitality, culture, and visitor experience.
As Malaysia prepares for its upcoming Visit Malaysia 2026 campaign (VM2026), the recognition highlights the country’s strengths: a rich mix of cultures, a dynamic lifestyle environment, and a strong foundation for tourism and expatriate living.
