The so called "largest tourism exchange event in Malaysia, MITE 2012" has turned out to be a local fun fair event, close to a pasar malam.
Yesterday's opening clearly shows how tired we are Malaysians with all this so called tourism event that has bleed the country of scare resources money.
The organisers has claimed in their high tech website that they are not only inviting the domestic and foreign travel agencies and tourism companies like one would usually find in a common tourism fair. Advocating the extensive growth of the tourism industry by a more proactive approach, MITE 2012 has also secured the participation of ministries, foreign missions in Malaysia, members of the media, trade members and tour operators both from Malaysia and abroad to support the effort.
With a budget of close to RM 6 million by the Ministry of Tourism MITE 2012 will also be filled with non-stop fun-packed activities such as international performances and showcases, seminars, games and competitions. Meanwhile, the event will also share and exchange international cultural habits and practices, festivities plus a mouthwatering food showcase which will definitely make MITE 2012 an inspiring and exciting experience.
How they will get 600,000 people to visit the show is everyone's guess. Indian magic will be needed here. May we suggest the organisers arrange 15,000 buses to ferry Malaysians from all over the country for a free trip to Serdang with makan and pocket money thrown in.
