For tourism, Malaysia combines the glitz of a modern shopping city, alongside the soothing ocean and natural mountains. Currently, Indonesia provides the second highest number of tourists to Malaysia, with Indonesians flying into the country regularly for shopping, vacation, business, and medical treatments.
While staying in Malaysia, it is essential to have a good internet connection. To facilitate this need, Traveloka now provides Malaysia-based internet packages for tourists. These can even be obtained before your departure.
