Touristic Hot Spotsand
the Property Market
Sustainability
P
enang has been for several years the 8th chosen destination worldwide for retiring and this year has
been achieving also to be the third destination in the world for the best original food. Kota Kinabalu
has been for years one of the best destination for diving and water sports attracting millions of
tourists every year.
Both these Malaysian touristic paradise have been also gaining a top ranking position as Property
Investment and the last 6-8 years have seen property values multiplied two or even three times. The
Government has set 2014 as the Visit Malaysia Year and this will further contribute to spread the fame of
these two touristic/property hot spots worldwide dragging a targeted 30 million tourist to hit the Malaysia
shores and keep on maintaining the Malaysian Tourism as third earner of foreign exchange and the
Tourism industry to contribute for and estimate 15% to the Nation GDP.
It is surely interesting to compare the trend of tourist arrivals between 1998 and 2012 and their
“spending” capabilities which are all in favor of a flourishing touristic industry.
