KUALA LUMPUR (Dec 19) : Malaysia remains among the top travel destinations, with Airbnb data showing year-on-year increase in nights booked during the first half of 2025.

Kuala Lumpur was the most-booked Malaysian city while heritage destinations, such as Penang, Melaka and Kuching, stayed popular with international visitors.

Against this backdrop, Airbnb, in collaboration with Think City, launched the Airbnb Heritage Guide to Kuala Lumpur, a digital guide on heritage sites and creative neighbourhoods, including the emerging Warisan KL.

The initiative aligns with Malaysia's efforts to expand heritage tourism ahead of Visit Malaysia 2026, with local stories helping to position Kuala Lumpur as a cultural destination.

Domestic travel continued to drive growth, with Malaysia remaining the top choice for local travellers in the first half of 2025.
