The popular Matta Fair 2008 is back on September, starting today and ends on the weekend on 7 September (Sunday).

The fair takes place in PWCT (Putra World Trade Center).

While many of the citizens are resorting to a more economic approach in spending their budget, Asia destinations such as China, South Korea and Taiwan are expected to remain popular among Malaysians.

Thailand would be the sole country destined to suffer from tourism this time around, mainly due to the political unrest in the country.

More than 70,000 people are expected to attend the fair.

Matta, which stands for Malaysian Association of Tour and Travel agents, organizes the fair a few times per year, with tens of thousands visitors swarming the venue every time the travel fair is held.
