Method & notes
Visitor volume shows where Malaysians travel, while receipts reveal how much that travel contributes economically.
METHOD & LIMITATIONSHow the numbers were calculated
PulseKita reproduces DOSM's published state-level domestic visitor totals from the Domestic Tourism Survey (States) for 2024 and 2025.
- Domestic visitors include both tourists and excursionists as defined by DOSM.
- This measures visitor volume, not unique individuals; one person can make multiple trips during the year.
- Visitor counts should be read together with tourism receipts and average length of stay for a fuller picture of tourism performance.
