The Board's Welcome Message:

Welcome & Selamat Datang
to the Malacca Tourism Association’s
Official web-page!

We in the Malacca Tourism Association warmly welcome you to visit Melaka, the historical city of Malaysia.

This is where it all began.

Discover about a time a little hamlet named Melaka was founded by a local lord named Parameswara in the 15th century and take a walk through history dating back to the famed Melaka Sultanate.

Relive the colonial period of the Portuguese, Dutch and British that spanned a good 4 centuries and the post-colonial days after Malaysia’s independence in 1957.
We are sure you will be pleasantly surprised at the wealth of history and tourism products our members and other service providers have to offer to inbound tourists.
Melaka has improved in their products in and about the state, namely, the convenience in transportation hub i.e our upgraded central bus terminal (Melaka Sentral), the Unesco Heritage Zones, the revitalized Malacca River; the Night Zoo, In-House Guides in the Museum& many other places of historical and cultural interest, good local dining and comfy accommodation.
Further Growth In Melaka:
Tourism is the major industry contributing to Melaka due to its historical heritage; it is classified as World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
12.35 Million Tourists arrived to Melaka in 2011 and we are targeting 13 Million in 2012 and expecting more in 2013.

A coastal highway linking Port Dickson to here and upgrading the busy Ayer Keroh dual carriageway are among four infrastructure projects proposed by the state government in Budget 2012.
After the upgrade of Melaka International Airport, it has further put Melaka prominently on the global map and we see a steady growth of foreigners visiting Melaka for leisure, business and medical treatments.

New Township Plans are presently under way to turn Melaka into a major destination for theMalaysia My Second Home programme.
The project combining heritage, culture and nature is expected to be carried out in either Ayer Keroh or the Bemban area. This program will definitely attract more foreigners especially from Indonesia, Singapore, Australia and Europe to make Melaka as their second home under the Malaysia My Second Home initiative.
A new Premium Outlet which offers high-end branded labels at discounted rates will be opened in Melaka soon, this will attract more tourists to Melaka and boost tourist spending in Melaka.

Melaka has three medical specialist centers and with the up-coming RM 250M Resort-Style Melaka Medical Centre, more local and foreigners will come to Melaka for the first class medical facility. In additional, Melaka will also focus on the Education Tourism to attract international students to Melaka.

Multimedia University, Technical University of Malaysia Malacca, Melaka Manipal Medical College and many other renowned colleges have established themselves in Melaka.
In addition, Masers Energy will invest US 20 Billion to setup low carbon project in Melaka as a pilot project and Infineon unveils RM 480 Million toexpand its facility in Melaka.

All these upcoming developments will make Melaka abetter place to stay for fun, leisure, business, health care and tertiary education. These are just a handful of the latest and on-going attractions in Historical Melaka. We do hope you will contact us about any query you have either before your visit or if you just want to give us feedback about anything of interest.

Selected excerpts from the musings of Dr. AZLY RAHMAN:

I still remember the word "selamba", close to the sound of "Selambau". I know what selamba means -- "poker-faced" and no shame in playing dirty games. Selamba saja muka dia ... That's from a Johor dialect I grew up with.

Now, "lahabau" is a bad/unacceptable/inappropriate/cuss word used by my friends from Melaka. It mean "jackass", or worse, maybe.
It is actually an affectionate greeting.
Truly the Melakkans are good at 'gangsta-use" of language.

They would curse good friends secupak segantang ( a "truckload" of nasty words) when the meet friends who they have not met for months, years, maybe -- wondering where this "lahabau" have been all these years.

That explains my fear of meeting my friends from Melaka. Fear of being called "lahabau" or "hamlau" or "cilaka kau" in the process of being greeted!

Yes-- they are the fierce Vikings of Malaya, those modern Melakkans!
