Tourism Malaysia
Tourism Malaysia's objective is to promote Malaysia as an
outstanding tourist destination. We aim to showcase Malaysia's unique wonders,
attractions and cultures; develop domestic tourism and enhance Malaysia's share
of the market for meetings, incentives, conventions and exhibitions (MICE). Our
ultimate goal is to increase the number of foreign tourists to Malaysia, extend
the average length of their stay and so increase Malaysia's tourism revenue.
Tourism Malaysia aims to encourage tourism and its related
industries in Malaysia. It is hoped that this would help promote new
investments in the country, as well as provide increased employment
opportunities. The growth of tourism would also contribute positively to the
country's economic development and quality of life.
The Tourist Development Corporation of Malaysia (TDC) was
established on 10 August 1972 as an agency under the former Ministry of Trade
and Industry by an Act of Parliament. With the inception of the Ministry of
Culture, Arts and Tourism on 20 May 1987, TDC was moved to this new ministry;
and became the Malaysia Tourism Promotion Board (MTPB) through the Malaysia
Tourism Promotion Board Act 1992. Popularly known as Tourism Malaysia, its full
focus is on promoting Malaysia domestically and internationally.

Tioman Dive Centre
Tioman Dive Centre is a new name for an old operation.
Established in 1993 under the name Scuba Point, Tioman Dive Centre was adopted
as a new name at the begining of 2002, following a change in management.
Previously managed by Dr Tarek Amin (known to his friends as
Pako), Julian Hyde and and Yeen Lee took over the operation in early 2001,
after managing it on Pako's behalf for several months. In 2009 Katie Yewdall
bought into the centre and began to enhance its environmental focus.
The Swiss Cottage
The Swiss Cottage is one of the first
resorts on Pulau Tioman and is located in Tekek.
We have taken great care in constructing the chalets so as not
to clash with the eco system that nature has gifted us. A lot of plants were planted at the Swiss Cottage Pulau Tioman to create a tropical ambiance where it is easy to relax in the shade enjoying the privacy of a long stretch of unspoilt beach.
Families with children are as welcome here as the individual traveller.
