Malaysia has made it into the top 10 countries with the most tourist arrivals for 2009, according to the United Nations World Tourism Organisation (UNTWO) barometer. Malaysia secured the ninth position, just below Turkey and Germany. In 2008, Malaysia was in 11th position. Tourism Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ng Yen Yen said it was a great accomplishment. “We are elated with this positive development. Malaysia is a kaleidoscope of cultures and I am sure it will continue to charm tourists,” she told Malaysian journalists after opening the Arabian Travel Mart (ATM) here on Tuesday. ATM 2010 saw the participation of 120 delegations from 83 organisations including hoteliers, tour operators and representatives from the Tourism Board of five state governments.
