KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 29 — Tourism Malaysia will continue to aggressively promote the country’s attractive diving sites to foreign divers.

Its first mission this year is to Russia, through its ambassador, Clement Lee, who has been assigned to the country to present talks on Malaysia’s popular and latest dive sites in Sabah, Sarawak, Labuan and the peninsula.

Leading Russian and international manufacturers and service providers in the industry and aqua enthusiasts such as scuba divers, free divers, spear fishers and underwater photographers will gather under one roof at the annual Moscow Dive Show from February 1-4.

"The goal of the show is to create an effective communication platform for wholesale and retail businesses, dealership networks’ expansion, direct sale of goods and services and an annual meeting point for the diving community.

"I will be embarking on another overseas promotional mission to give talks in the Russian largest dive wholesaler RuDive during the four-day event, with some 20 invited agents and group leaders all over Russia scheduled to attend our talk,” he told Bernama. — Bernama
