Every great journey begins with a ticket. But what if that ticket, the very first step toward Santorini sunsets, Kyoto blossoms, or a picturesque weekend in Bordeaux, came with a built-in luxury: up to 50% off.
That is exactly the kind of travel upgrade that CIMB Travel World Elite and Travel World Credit Card are quietly offering Malaysia’s new generation of jetsetters.
Malaysians have long had a love affair with travel. In 2024 alone, the Malaysian Tourism Board estimated that 11.3 million people packed their bags for outbound adventures, with nearby favourites like Japan, Indonesia, and Thailand topping the list. A global study a year earlier underscored the trend, revealing that Japan remains the dream destination for Malaysians, followed closely by the laid-back charm of Australia.
