⚠️ Things to Take Note Before Going to Matta Fair 2025

Matta Fair 2025 Booth Heading to the Matta Fair this year? Whether you’re chasing budget travel deals, booking flights for the whole fam, or just browsing for inspiration—these quick tips can help you avoid common headaches and make the most out of your visit.

🚗 Plan Your Ride

 Matta Fair venues can get crazy packed.
✅ Arrive early
✅ Use public transport or e-hailing
✅ Parking spaces fill up super fast

🕵️ Don’t Get Scammed

Not every booth is trustworthy. Some unlicensed travel agents sneak in and leave buyers stranded with canceled trips.
✅ Check if the agency is licensed at motac.gov.my
❌ Avoid blacklisted ones at ccid.rmp.gov.my/semakmule 

💸 Not Every “Promo” Is a Steal

 Some “special prices” are actually higher than booking directly online. Always compare before you pay!

⏰ There’s No Closing Announcement

 Most fairs end around 9PM, but booths may pack up earlier without warning. Aim to seal your deals by 8PM to avoid disappointment.

🎁 Free Gifts? Get There Early

Matta Fair 2025 Gift Vouchers, goodie bags, and freebies are usually first-come, first-serve. If you want the good stuff, arrive before noon.

🎉 Travel Deals to Expect at Matta Fair 2025

Matta Fair 2025 CrowdIf you’ve been kicking yourself for missing the KL Matta Fair in April—don’t worry. Good news is, many of the same promos tend to make the rounds at other state fairs too. We spotted some juicy deals in KL that give a pretty solid preview of what’s popping up in places like Johor, Penang, Sabah, and beyond.

So, whether you’re eyeing a trip for the fam, a getaway with friends, or just scouting deals for your dream destination—here’s what you can likely expect:

🎟️ Matta Fair Buyer Contest
Spend RM200 or more, and you could enter to win prizes like travel gadgets, hotel stays, or even full travel packages.
  📌 Tip: Check with the info counter at the entrance for contest registration or rules.

💳 RHB Flight Ticket Cashback – Up to RM700
This one’s a KL favourite, but RHB might show up again at other venues.
📌 Look for their booth—usually at the 2nd floor or a prime spot—and ask about the RM700 cashback for flight bookings.

🎁 Free Gifts, Vouchers & Travel Swag
Matta Fair booths love to reward early birds.
📌 Expect things like luggage tags, mystery gift boxes, shopping vouchers, and discount codes—especially if you book on-site.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Family & Group Deals
Traveling with the fam or a group of friends?
📌  Look for bundle promos with free child tickets, room upgrades, or airport transfers.

🛫 Flight + Hotel Combos
Some booths offer all-in packages—flight, stay, and tours—at lower rates than booking each item separately.
📌  Ideal if you hate trip planning but love good deals.

🚫 What to Skip

  • “Mystery hotel” deals unless you’re feeling brave 
  • One-way promos with odd flight times 
  • Promos that pressure you with “book now or miss out”—double-check prices online first.

💬 Final Tip: Always ask about the fine print—cancellation policies, travel dates, hidden charges. A good deal should give you peace of mind, not surprises.

Who Should (and Shouldn’t) Attend Matta Fair

Not everyone walks out of Matta Fair grinning with a killer deal. The fair works better for some than others. Here’s a quick breakdown of who’s likely to benefit—and who might feel a bit… underwhelmed.

✅ Great Fit For:

  • First-Time Travelers
    If trip planning gives you analysis paralysis, Matta Fair is a dream. Ready-to-go packages, expert help, and deals you can book on the spot? You’ll feel like a travel pro without lifting a finger. 
  • Seniors & Retirees
    Think slow-paced tours, all-inclusive getaways, and minimal hassle. Perfect for those who just want a smooth holiday from start to finish. 
  • Corporate Buyers & Event Planners
    Need to plan a team trip, company retreat, or incentive getaway? You’ll find group deals, venue options, and even insurance packages—all in one place.

🚫 Not the Best Fit For:

  • Experienced Travelers
    You already know your way around Skyscanner and Klook. Most Matta Fair “promos” won’t beat your usual travel hacks. 
  • Couples & Honeymooners
    Romantic escapes need a bit more curation. You’re probably better off piecing your trip together for that dreamy, just-us experience. 
  • Adventure or Niche Travelers
    If your ideal holiday involves motorbiking through Vietnam or solo hiking in Iceland, you won’t find much here tailored for your style.

Final Verdict: Is Matta Fair Still Worth It in 2025?

There was a time when Matta Fair was the place to score unbeatable travel deals. But in today’s world of promo codes, flash sales, and app-exclusive discounts, it’s not the only game in town anymore.

That said, Matta Fair still has its place—especially for those booking group trips, family holidays, or corporate getaways. The convenience of talking to real agents, comparing multiple offers in one spot, and grabbing limited-time deals can save you more than just money—it saves you time and planning stress too.

So while it may not suit every kind of traveler in 2025, it’s still a smart choice for those who want their trip sorted in one go. You just need to know what you’re looking for—and show up ready to spot the real deals.
