Discussion Speaking Week 10

Irfan: From my perspective, organizing tourism fairs can be a great idea to promote
domestic tourism among Malaysians.For example we can showcasing local
attractions by allowing various destinations, hotels, resorts, and other tourism-
related businesses to showcase their offerings. This helps to raise awareness among
Malaysians about the diverse attractions and experiences available within their own
country. It can encourage people to explore different regions and promote a sense of
pride and appreciation for their own culture and heritage. Other than that, Special
offers and promotions. Tourism fairs often feature special offers, discounts, and
promotions for attendees. These incentives can be enticing for Malaysians,
encouraging them to take advantage of the opportunities presented at the fair and
plan their domestic travels to learn about it more .How about you Zhafran, do you
agree with me?

Zhafran: I apprieaciate with your opinion but im so sorry and I respectfully disagree think that
organising tourism fairs have disadvantage for example financially,Organizing
tourism fairs can be a costly endeavor, involving expenses such as venue rental,
booth setup, and promotional materials. These costs might not be justifiable if the
returns in terms of increased domestic tourism are uncertain or difficult to measure
accurately. For my opinion ,Promoting through mass media is the easier way to
attract all the tourist because Mass media can work synergistically with digital
platforms to amplify the reach and impact of domestic tourism campaigns. By
leveraging social media, online videos, and influencer collaborations, we can extend
the message beyond traditional media channels, encouraging sharing and
engagement among online communities. Next ,my opinion that can support my
statement is wide audience reach, Mass media platforms such as television, radio,
newspapers, and online media have extensive reach and can effectively target a
broad audience. By promoting domestic tourism through these channels, we can
reach a diverse population, including both local residents and potential visitors from
other regions. How about your opinion Fad, are u accept my statement?

Fadh: I recognise that you view the topic of using the media to promote domestic travel
differently. It's critical to understand that encouraging domestic travel through the
media can have both beneficial and detrimental impacts.So,there is negative way u
can look at. Like Not all population segments may be effectively reached by mass
media efforts. The message may not be heard by those without access to television,
radio, or the internet, which would reduce the effectiveness of the campaign.In my
opinion, it may be useful to attract individuals to travel within their own nation by
offering alluring travel packages. Attractive vacation packages for domestic travel
provide a variety of domestic experiences. These offer convenience and guarantee
that visitors may make the most of their stay by travel, accommodation, and
activities. These programmes provide a variety of options to create unforgettable
experiences, whether it is touring historical locations, taking in the local food, or
exploring natural settings. Purchasing a travel package can save you money over
reserving each component separately. Travel agencies can offer competitive prices
that make domestic travel more accessible and affordable to a wider range of people
by negotiating group rates and discounts. The accessibility of these packages may
 entice individuals and families to take advantage of them and travel to various
locations inside their own country.

Irfan: I'd say the exact opposite and didn’t agree with your perspective because While
introducing attractive travel packages can be an effective strategy to promote
domestic tourism among Malaysians, there are also potential disadvantages to
consider. For example, it will increased cost. There is a possibility that these packages
may come with a higher price tag. Some individuals may find it challenging to afford
these packages, particularly those with lower incomes or budget constraints. Other
than that, concentration on popular destinations. Attractive travel packages may
primarily focus on popular tourist destinations, which are already well-known and
frequently visited. Less-explored or lesser-known regions and attractions may not
receive the same level of promotion and attention, limiting their growth and
economic potential. Okey Zhafran and Fadhillah, which is the best idea to promote
domestic tourism among Malaysians.

Fadh: I’d like to choose Zhafran’s as the best idea to promote domestic tourism among
Malaysian.

Irfan: I agree with you Fadh.

Zhafran: So we concluded that my idea which is promoting through mass media is the best
idea.

All: That’s all from us, Thank You!
