Pavilion Kuala Lumpur has launched the nationwide Malaysia Year-End Sale (MYES), in partnership with Alipay+.

The annual retail tourism event, back after a four-year hiatus, celebrates Malaysia as a premier shopping destination, offering travellers an enhanced shopping experience with exclusive deals, discounts and promotions.

Through this collaboration, shoppers may enjoy exclusive discounts and promotions when making payment using Alipay+ e-wallet partner Alipay

The MYES campaign, which began on Nov 21 and runs through Dec 31, 2024, is expected to significantly contribute to Malaysia’s tourism revenue during the year-end travel season.

Dato’ Joyce Yap, Pavilion Kuala Lumpur chief executive officer (retail) stated during the launch event: “As Malaysia’s premier shopping destination, Pavilion KL is thrilled to be part of the Malaysia Year-End Sale, supporting retail, gastronomy and tourism.

“We invite tourists to experience Malaysia’s vibrant culture and festive shopping scene – a perfect way to end the year with a memorable celebration.”

Supported by shopping mall operators, hotel associations, travel agencies, airlines, KTMB, and other local tourism industry players, the MYES initiative aligns with the national sales campaign slogan, “MY Priceless Experience,” promising a valuable and enriching experience for all visitors.

“Travel plays an important role in driving shared prosperity as global consumers visit businesses big and small, and our goal is to help more Malaysian businesses benefit as tourism in Malaysia thrives,” said Edward Yue, general manager of Ant International for Southeast Asia, Australia and New Zealand.

“Through our collaboration with Pavilion KL and key industry partners, we aim to deliver a seamless and rewarding shopping experience to tourists, strengthening Malaysia’s appeal as a global tourism and shopping destination,” he said.
