Malaysia beach
Despite unpleasant economic circumstances across the globe, Europe boasts six of the top 10 most visited countries in the world for 2011. Shocking, considering how much 'bang' you can get for the same amount of money in Asia. China ranked third on the list and surprisingly, Malaysia beat out Thailand as the ninth country on the list.
So why did 24.7 million international tourists head to Malaysia in 2011?
Why not! The country is friendly, interesting, and affordable. Fusion food and beautiful islands are just a couple of Malaysia's specialties.
A lion's share of the visitors to Malaysia were from adjacent and comparatively wealthy Singapore. Most of the American travelers that I meet while in Southeast Asia tend to include Malaysia as a secondary diversion, a place to snoop around for just a few days for something different. Unfortunate, because Malaysia really is a world-class destination.

Ya,aku tau list ni dah lama keluar.Dan Malaysia memang tempat ke-9 negara paling dilawati didunia. Tahun 2011,kita ditempat ke-9 dgn jumlah pelancong 24.7 juta dan tahun 2012 kita ditempat ke-10 biarpun jumlah pelancong bertambah ke 25 juta. Sebab Russia dapat tempat ke-9. Yang penting,kita masih dalam senarai top ten negara paling dilawati didunia.
Apa salahnya nak berbangga? Bukan senang tau nak beat negara lain seperti:
1. Thailand-selain kos mengembara murah dari Malaysia,thai adalah syurga kebebasan dunia.
Tempat paling happening, best berparti (yg mana mat saleh suka sgt),syurga seks, syurga arak, syurga pondan dan gayboy serta memang sejak dari dulu lagi memang Thai lebih famous dikalangan pelancong. Sedangkan Malaysia diberi imej Islam yang menakutkan dan penduduk tak mesra alam seperti thai katanya.Ini tidak adil buat Malaysia! Sedangkan kita lebih diversed dari Thai dari segi budaya,makanan dan mukabumi.
Thai overrated sebab syurga seks.(suka hati aku kalo aku nak bias).
One of the traveller comment bout Thailand Vs Malaysia in tourism is:
"After visiting Malaysia numerous times, and living in Thailand for four
years. I have often wondered why more people visit Thailand than
Malaysia…
If you wanted to sum up the two countries it would go like this.
Thailand the hot younger sister that likes to take off her clothes and
party, while Malaysia is the more mature older sister, that knows
parting and taking your clothes off is not the way to get attention, she
is also hot, but it is hard to tell because she is conservative."

2.
Indonesia- yang ni pun kita susah nak beat sebab dia ada monumen dunia. Candi Borodubur yang terkenal tu,pantai Kuta Bali yang dikatakan paling best didunia selain kos lebih murah untuk melancong. Budayanya jugak kuat dari kita. Mukabumi yang unik dan mengkagumkan
3.
Cambodia- akuilah geng backpacker memang suka Cambodia sebab ada Angkot Wat. Juga kos lebih murah. Lebih adventure katanya bila kemudahan insfrastruktur seperti zaman 70-an dan 80-an.
4.
Jepun dan
Korea- yang ni pun kita susah nak beat sebab budaya dan kemajuan yang memudahkan pelancong. Ditambah dengan rakyat yang kuat bekerja dan jujur, serta geography yang hebat seperti Mount Fiji. Ada Disneyland Jepun, Nami island dan demam K-pop.
5.
Singapura- ini walau kos mahal tapi ada segalanya. Business hub in Asia dan kemudahan yang canggih. Ada Universal Studio,tempat judi paling happening, Marina Sand dan standard tinggi yang memenuhi golongan elit rich and famous. Banyak konsert all star disini.
Jadi bukan senang nak beat semua negara ni kerana mereka ada prominent landmark dan ada semua happening factor yang traveller inginkan.
Even ramai komen yang tak percaya kenapa Malaysia masuk dalam list ni..sebab orang prefer Thai dari kita. Orang Thai mesra alam katanya dan tak strict undang-undang cam kita. Land of smile kononnya.
Tapi kita harus berbangga sebab Malaysia tak perlukan sex heaven dan arak murah untuk menarik pelancong. Maknanya kita lebih berdignity dalam menarik pelawat asing. Untuk itu, berterima kasihlah pada pelancong Singapura yang menyumbang hampir separuh dari jumlah pelawat yang ke sini.
Satu yang aku sangat bangga jadi rakyat Malaysia adalah negara kita rakyatnya lebih rasional dan stabil. Tak macam Thai,Indonesia,Filipina yang tak puas hati sikit, berdemo,berarak dan sebenarnya ini menjejaskan imej negara bila dibuat secara massive. Kita walau PRU-13 macam nak gila perang penyokong tapi kita tak sampai ke tahap nak gulingkan kerajaan. Pelabur asing perlukan kestabilan dan keamanan. Diantara negara Asean dan Asia,hanya Singapore dan Malaysia saja yang selalu berlawan dan berada didalam ranking yang agak sama (selalunya tempat yang lebih baik di Asean, Asia dan dunia).
Jadi sebenarnya Tun Mahathir berjaya menyaingi Lee Kuan Yew untuk buktikan siapa paling berjaya bangunkan nation biarpun Malaysia lebih rumit pelaksanaan berbanding Singapore.
Kita ada Twin tower saja..dan tak terkenal seperti 9 negara lain yang tersenarai. Uk ada bigben, Paris ada Eiffel, Italy ada Pisa, China ada Great Wall, Turkey ada Hagia Sofia, German ada kejuruteraan hebat dan Octoberfest, Spain ada Barca dan gereja paling famous Sagrada Familia, Mexico no doubt bergantung pada massive US traveller dan awesome beach mengadap lautan Pasifik.

Its likeability must be the one of the reasons why this country is dubbed as one of the leaders. With 3.79 million square miles, the USA is a magnificent place to travel; recently achieving a whopping 62.3 million tourist arrivals.
