What to expect in 2025

VSY 2025 promises a year-long calendar filled with exciting events, exciting initiatives, and unique travel experiences, including:

  • Iconic Events: Look forward to the return of crowd favourites like Art of Speed Malaysia, the Selangor Travel Fair, and other festivals celebrating the arts, culture, and automotive innovation.

Making VSY 2025 possible is the Selangor State Government’s allocation of RM8 million for the campaign, slated to promote local tourism and fund events, marketing efforts, and partnerships. The goal is to generate an estimated RM11.7 billion in tourism receipts while creating job opportunities across the state.

According to Selangor’s EXCO of Local Government and Tourism, YB Dato’ Ng Suee Lim, the Selangor government has introduced new measures to encourage arts and cultural activities, including reduced entertainment taxes and duty-free status for local artists throughout 2025.

“This initiative not only encourages greater tourist inflow but also promotes Selangor as a hub for arts, culture, and entertainment”, he added.

Tourism Selangor is also partnering with major brands to enhance the campaign’s impact.
