MATTA Fair March 2014

Another session of bargain hunting of travel packages at the Marh session of MATTA  Fair 2014. It is true that if you love travelling, MATTA Fair which is organized bi-annually is a must visit. It does not matter if you're looking for overseas or domestic travels, the offer and packages offered are quite attractive. If you're thinking of going to MATTA Fair do go in the morning. They open at 10am till 9pm. Parking could be a problem if you're late. We arrived at 11am and the crowd had yet to swell up. However at around 2 pm, scores of people start crowdidng bothe the domestic/ASEAN and international booths which are separately located at Hall 3 (domestic/ASEAN) and Halls 1 & 2 for international destinations.







If you are a frequent traveller domestically, you might notice that the cost of hotels have almost doubled in some places this year due to the Visit Malaysia Year 2014. As such, MATTA Fair is the best place to hunt for a package bargain. However, do be careful as I have heard of unsrupulous operator who fails to deliver the packages bought by travellers. Some hotels claims special MATTA Fair accomodation rates of which you can actually get with online bookings & purchases. So no special rates there. 

This time around though we came across the Glory Beach Resort in Port Dickson which they claim had been recently refurbished.No more old worn-out rattan settees.
We told ourselves that this we have got to see. So we bought the special package for 2D1N stay at the 3-bedroom Family Deluxe Apartment for RM280 and applicable on weekends and school holidays without surcharges!! We have surveyed earlier that the cheapest online rate is around RM500++  . So this was a good offer.

People actually waits for this bi-annual event and flock PWTC by the thousands. If you are keen to travel, do give MATTA Fair a visit and hopefully you'll get your dream holiday. The next MATTA Fair will be in September 2014, so do make a date with us then.

Till then do enjoy some of the pictures taken at the March 2014 Edition MATTA Fair.
