Trip.com, the global travel services provider, has partnered with Tourism Malaysia to offer Australian travellers deals on their next trip to Malaysia, including return flights from $488. The Discover Malaysia campaign has been launched as Australian travellers look to travel further afield and Malaysia emerges as a rising destination in the region

Trip.com's campaign with Tourism Malaysia began on 19 July and will run to 15 August, offering Trip.com users a selection of discounted promotions on flights and hotels.

The campaign is being showcased to the people of Sydney on the city's Light Rail Tram network. The launch of the transport advertising campaign was honored to host HE Dato' Roslan Tan Sri Abdul Rahman, The High Commissioner of Malaysia to the Commonwealth of Australia, upon the maiden journey of the Discover Malaysia-branded tram car.

High Commissioner Dato' Roslan Tan Sri Abdul Rahman commented: "We welcome the people of Australia to discover Malaysia on their next trip. Our nation has it all, from bustling multicultural cities, top hotels and attractions to beach resorts and rainforest getaways. Through Tourism Malaysia's collaboration with Trip.com, we are offering Australians a wonderful opportunity to visit and discover Malaysia for themselves. Come over!"
