MATTA Fair is here again. it’s held at PWTC just like the past. It looks like there isn’t any convention center large enough to cater for this travel fair. Just like every year, thousands of people will make their way to MATTA Fair in search of good deals for their dream vacation.
Nothing seem to change with MATTA Fair. From the number of people, traffic jam and exhibitors, everything seem to predictable.
As expected, traffic jam around PWTC was terrible. I always make it a point to be there early around 10AM when it opens or take the Putra LRT to PWTC station and walk over to MATTA Fair.
The camera fair and property fair are around whenever MATTA Fair is held in PWTC. Seems like both are targetting the same group of consumer. The camera fair is always packed but not the property fair.
There were three halls for the exhibitors. First hall was usually reserved for local travels and the other two halls for oversea travels. Thailand, Indonesia, Western Australia, Korea and Taiwan were as aggressive as ever in promoting their country. Genting, City of Entertainment, promoted aggressively as well.
Airasia and it’s sister company, Airasia-X, Malaysia Airlines and Firefly promoted aggressively with very attractive pricing for their tickets to various destinations. There were long queues at these counters.
With these airlines selling cheap tickets, more people are travelling on their own to their dream destinations. More travel agents are selling ground package for these travellers. Many oversea hotels are promoting their hotels and travellers can purchase their accommodation with these hoteliers on the spot.
I managed to see a few nice stage performances today. The Dreamz from Genting City of Entertainment was very entertaining with performers from China and Belarus. The Drifterz (B-Boy) from Korea gave a spectacular breakdance performance.
My usual objective to MATTA Fair is to look for new attractions for possible vacations and also collect nice travel brouchures. I refer to these nice travel brochures whenever I plan for my vacation. This MATTA Fair, I did not find any good deal. I returned from MATTA Fair with a big bag of travel brouchures.
Looks like I will have to wait for the next MATTA Fair next year to hunt for a good deal for my dream vacation.

I never missed out from visited each year twice of the matta fair that held at pwtc since year 2000.there are a lot of brochure to took before but after that (mostly in last 2 years), there are less brochure to scooped.i kept all my brochure nicely,so i can use it when i plan my vacation.With the next matta fair will be arive soon, i hope there’ll be more brochure to scoop and more new country to join in for this matta fair promotion.Lastly,i hope the performance on the stage this year will be more fascinating.

Matta Fair is going to kick off on 4th~6th Sept 2009 (Friday)! Don’t forget to wear mask, in this closed and crowded hall. Or you can try to search your dream package in Malaysia No 1 Travel Portal, They are having online travel now. Take a look~ http://onlinetravelfair.com
