MAH-ASTROBiz
Treasure Hunt 2023 concludes
Kuala
Lumpur – The 12th edition of the Treasure Hunt
event, organized by the Malaysian Association of Hotel in partnership with
ASTROBiz and Tourism Terengganu, reached its successful conclusion recently.
The event saw 29 teams of over 100 hoteliers journeying across states, starting
from Malaysia Tourism Centre (MaTiC) Kuala Lumpur and ending at Primula Beach
Hotel Kuala Terengganu on Saturday, 17th June 2023.
MAH Treasure Hunts is our long-running highly anticipated signature
event as it provides a fun recreational activity for hoteliers to get together
outside the normal working hours and routines, fostering healthier and closer
ties among our MAH members. Additionally, the hunt itself is meant to instill a
greater appreciation of our individual states’ tourism offerings by taking the
participants around the place, experiencing its breathtaking views and cultural
riches. In the past, our treasure hunts have explored remarkable destinations
such as George Town in 2019, Bandar Melaka in 2016, Ipoh in 2014, Johor Bahru
in 2013, Kuantan in 2012, and Batu Ferringhi in 2011.
This year’s destination is the beautiful state of Terengganu. The state
is renowned as a veritable treasure trove filled with cultural heritage,
delectable cuisines, scenic vistas, and natural marvels. Additionally, Tourism
Terengganu, in their bid to reach their target of 3 million visitors this year
have unveiled their Terengganu Calendar of Events 2023 (COE2023) earlier this
year which boasts an impressive lineup of 100 total tourism events. All of
these factors made Terengganu the perfect destination for this year’s Treasure
Hunt where our members can enjoy themselves whilst appreciating all the
offerings the state has to offer.
“This is the second time Treasure Hunt has brought us to Kuala
Terengganu.” Said the event organizing Chairlady, Ms Shirley Lai. “The first
time was back in our 3rd iteration in 2006. It feels so great to come back to
this beautiful state again.” Ms Shirley further added “As our hotel industry
works closely with the tourism sector, it is essential for us hoteliers, to
understand the diversity and beauty that our country has to offer.”
A prize presentation dinner was held at Primula Beach Hotel Kuala
Terengganu where lucky draw prizes were given away and cash prizes of RM2,000,
RM1,500, and RM1,000 were presented to the top three winners of the treasure
hunt.
