Tourism Malaysia joins in turtle conservation efforts under its social corporate responsibility

Tourism Malaysia has embarked on an exciting journey under its social corporate responsibility at the pristine beaches of Port Dickson, to create awareness of turtle conservation and increase the survival rate of turtle hatching. 
 
Dato’ Dr. Ammar Abd. Ghapar, Director-General of Tourism Malaysia, said: “The event symbolises our hopes for tourists. As turtles return to the spot where they were born to mate and lay their eggs, we hope that tourists will keep flocking back to Malaysia again and again from wherever they have been to.”
 
Apart from beach clean-up, 24 staff under the Package Development Division also released baby turtles into the ocean near Lexis Hibiscus Port Dickson, thus reflecting Tourism Malaysia’s utmost commitment to environmental conservation and sustainable tourism practices.
 
Tourism Malaysia’s social corporate responsibility programme was held in conjunction with the Package Development Division’s 2024 – 2026 Strategic Workshop took place in Port Dickson from 3 – 5 August 2023. Industry experts, government officials, and conservationists are among the attendees to the workshop to charter the holistic strategies for the upcoming years leading to Visit Malaysia Year 2026.
 
Their shared expertise and vision will play a pivotal role in shaping the tourism landscape, especially in the niche tourism segments and enhance the overall travel experience for local and international tourists.
