PETALING JAYA – The travel industry has been making a steady comeback and award-winning travel agency Apple Vacations is inviting wanderlusters across the country to visit its Apple Travel Fiesta (ATF 2022) happening now until Sunday, June 26 at 1 Utama.
Travel buffs can find a variety of packages and deals that will certainly entice all types of travellers, especially those who value expertly designed vacation experiences.
Customers are also eligible to win prizes worth up to RM128,888 exclusively for the event, where a travel sharing session is set up throughout.
Apart from that, lucky draw activities, free gifts, and early bird discounts and a special onecard promotion is made available.
Apple Vacations Sdn Bhd group managing director Datuk Seri Koh Yock Heng said the purpose of the travel fair being hosted is because Covid has created a supply-chain problem. The travel company aims to help in the effort of alleviating the condition.
“What I mean by this is that the services that support travel and/or vacation needs are lower in availability than in pre-pandemic times.
“For instance, airlines have fewer flight frequencies with at least a 50% drop, so in this case a flight to-and-from Bangkok which would usually have seven to eight flights a day will only have three.
“In order to accommodate demands better and avoid travel complications, booking early is a solution, aside from the chance to gain early bird prices.
“This is also where our role as a travel expert come to light – where we educate customers to avoid last-minute booking and land the best deals to make their dream trip possible.
For a limited time only
Be sure not to miss out on the featured vacation packages at ATF2022 such as the 8D6N New South Wales & Sydney (In Depth).

According to Koh, or more fondly known as Kohsan, there are two sets of [travel] customers out there that Apple Vacations took notice of – “…the cautious type that still worries about Covid and the restrictions it brings, and the other type that are more confident in making travel decisions.”

“The latter have a stronger desire to embark on a post-pandemic escape after two years of not being able to see the world (in that sense).
“Here today, you mostly see middle-to-upper income groups that are much older. These demographics have less considerations to make and are more relaxed.
“Of course, we don’t tailor our packages to suit specific age groups per se but more on destinations that are friendly to travellers.
“We also had special destination packages for those who prefer to indulge in luxury travel, in which I will be leading the groups,” said Apple Vacations Sdn Bhd group executive chairman Datuk Seri Lee Ee Hoe.
The trips are branded under ‘Travel the world with Leesan’ featuring destinations like New South Wales & Sydney (In Depth), Nepal and the Mt Fuji (among others) excursion, which includes a hike. – The Vibes, June 23, 2022
