in Malaysia, particularly during the harvest season from late May to August. This
trend underscores the fruit's allure and cultural importance, with the new Tourism
Malaysia packages offering visitors a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in
local traditions. Our destination's new experiences also offer food lovers the chance
to explore different states across Malaysia for our durian trails."
Durians, with their pungent odor and thorny exterior, hold
a special place in Malaysian culture. With "Durian Tourism Packages 2024/2025,"
Tourism Malaysia invites tourists to participate in a new and trending cultural
and gastronomic tourism wave. Tourism Malaysia anticipates over RM2 million in durian
tourism sales for 2024 and 2025, highlighting these offerings' growing popularity
