KUALA LUMPUR: The 2010 Malaysia Association of Tour and Travel Agents (Matta) Fair in March is expected to receive about 80,000 visitors.

Matta president Datuk Mohd Khalid Harun said the target was 10,000 more that the previous fair as the economy was improving while the influenza A (H1N1) threat was waning.

He said bookings for 893 exhibition booths would be opened to tour and travel agents from Monday to Jan 22.

Besides Asian countries, Matta expects to get exhibitors from Mexico, he told reporters here yesterday.

He said visitors would be offered Matta membership cards, which would entitle them to a  discount at the fair to be held at the PWTC from March 12 to 14. — Bernama
