MELAKA, April 7 (Bernama) -- Melaka welcomed 3.7 million visitors between Jan 1 and March 25 during the first quarter of the 2024 Melaka Visit Year (TMM 2024), announced state Tourism, Heritage, Arts, and Culture Exco, Datuk Abdul Razak Abdul Rahman

He noted that approximately 60,000 to 70,000 vehicles per day were recorded entering the state during weekends, further bolstering the influx of tourists.

"With about nine more months ahead, I am confident that the 18.7 million tourists and visitors target for TMM 2024 can be achieved through various attractive small and large-scale programmes and activities planned throughout the year.
