Legoland Malaysia Resort sales and marketing director Thila Munusamy said the company had decided to go bigger this time based on the good reception previously.

“Despite last year’s market slowdown, MATTA Fair did really well. We were happy with the success we had at the fair and we decided to come in stronger this time,” said Thila.

She added that it was an exciting time for Legoland as a new attraction, Ninjago The Ride, a 4D ride inspired by the Lego Ninjago line, will be opening in November.

Wong and Thila were speaking at the press conference announcing the partnership, at which MATTA’s tie-up with Smart Online Travel Assistant (SOTA) as the official technology partner for the upcoming MATTA Fair was also announced.

“We have 85 tour and travel companies on the website and we aim to bring a hundred more,” said Liao, adding that the packages could also be bought online.
