Out of this 38.9%, an estimated 30% or close to 3.05 million visitors travelled to Malaysia by self-drive, express buses or excursion coaches.

In addition, inbound passengers from Malaysia including workers and tourists on transit traveling by coaches to Singapore are estimated to be 1.5 million. While we see tourism as an economic driver in our economy, the state of the tour bus industry is facing a transformation in improving its services and projecting itself as a key land transport provider for travelers to Malaysia and beyond.
