The three-day event will be held from Sept 22 to Sept 24 at the Putra World Trade Centre in Kuala Lumpur. Speaking at a press conference on MATTA Fair 2006 here, Rashid said the national carrier registered sales of about RM25 million at the same event held in March this year. MAS would make available one million seats for next month's MATTA Fair 2006, Rashid said. "We are in the midst of finalising the fare structures and packages. We will be having early bird specials and up to 60 percent discount," he said when asked about the special packages to be offered. MATTA Fair's organising chairman Datuk Mohd Khalid Harun said the coming event is expected to attract about 80,000 visitors compared to 75,000 visitors in March 2006. He said the sales turnover is also expected to exceed the RM85 million achieved at the previous fair. Mohd Khalid said MATTA and MAS will be working together to ensure that Malaysian consumers get the best value for money deals during the event. -- BERNAMA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
