THE World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur (WTCKL) has been named Best Established MICE Venue & Special Event at the 2025 Tourism Industry Awards (TIA), a prestigious recognition of its continued leadership in Malaysia’s business events sector.
The award was presented on 9 August at Sunway Resort Hotel by Selangor Executive Councillor for Local Government and Tourism, Datuk Ng Suee Lim; Tourism Selangor CEO, Chua Yee Ling; and Dato’ Emmy Suraya Hussein, Chairperson of the TIA organising committee.
