from the legendary multiple Grammy Award winner Julio Iglesias. Guests on the
night included Dato’ Sri Dr. Ng Yen Yen, Minister of Tourism and Tan Sri Dato’
(Dr.) Francis Yeoh, Managing Director of YTL Corporation Berhad as well as an
extensive and elaborate guest list that includes the Royal Family and staples
from the Forbes Asia Billionaire list.
A Journey Through Time is endorsed by
Tourism Malaysia
as the event helps raise the whole country’s profile as a destination for
buying luxury goods, especially to the Chinese market. Year after year Malaysia
has grown to become an enticing and exciting holiday destination for Chinese
tourists. According to the China Outbound Tourism Research Institute’s analysis
of China travellers, Malaysia
was the fourth most popular overseas destination for Chinese travelers in 2011
with 1.25 million visitors throughout the year, with shopping accounting for
37.8 percent of overall spending.
Earlier in 2012, visas for Malaysia also became a lot easier
to obtain for Chinese visitors, meaning 2012 is looking at over 1.3 million
Chinese tourists.

Starhill Gallery, has put together a series of enticing packages to stay at its
myriad of exclusive hotels. These include JW Marriott Kuala Lumpur and The
