located partly on a peninsula of the Asian mainland and partly on the
northern third of the island of Borneo. West Malaysia shares a border with
Thailand, is connected by a causeway and a bridge to the island state of
Singapore, and has coastlines on the South China Sea and the Straits of
Malacca. East Malaysia shares borders with Brunei and Indonesia. In an
effort to diversify the economy and make Malaysia’s economy less dependent
on exports the government has pushed to increase tourism in Malaysia. As a
result tourism has become Malaysia’s third largest source of income from
foreign exchange, and accounted for 7% of Malaysia's economy as of 2005.
As of 2009, Malaysia ranks 9th among the top most visited countries in the
world, after Germany. The government agency in charge of promoting tourism
in Malaysia is Tourism Malaysia or the Malaysia Tourism Promotion
Board (MTPB). On 20 May 1987, the Ministry of Culture, Arts and Tourism (MOCAT)
was established and TDC moved to this new ministry. TDC existed from 1972
to 1992, when it became the Malaysia Tourism Promotion Board (MTPB),
through the Malaysia Tourism Promotion Board Act, 1992. Its vision
is to make the tourism industry a prime contributor to the socio-economic
development of the nation, and aims to market Malaysia as a premier
destination of excellence in the region. Tourism Malaysia now has 34
overseas and 11 marketing representative offices. In 1999, Malaysia
launched a worldwide marketing campaign called “Malaysia, Truly Asia”
which was largely successful in bringing in over 7.4 million tourists. The
extra revenue recently generated by tourism helped the country’s economy
during the economic crisis of 2008. However, it is mainly Malaysia’s heavy
government regulation of the economy which enabled it to be barely
affected by the recent 2008 global economic crisis. In recent years
tourism has been threatened by the negative effects of the growing
industrial economy. Due to the large amounts of air and water pollution
along with deforestation, tourism has decreased in affected areas. The
majority of Malaysia's tourists come from its bordering country,
Singapore.
