Sunway Lagoon offers admission rate privileges to Garuda Indonesia passengers

Passengers flying Garuda Indonesia into Malaysia can now enjoy a 20% discount off published admission rates into Sunway Lagoon in Sunway City, Petaling Jaya. All they have to do to enjoy this offer is present their original boarding pass or GarudaMiles card at Sunway Lagoon’s ticketing counter within seven days of arrival in Malaysia.

The offer will be valid through December 2020, following a signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Indonesia’s national airline and Malaysia’s premier themed destination.

Signing the Memorandum of Understanding on behalf of Sunway Lagoon was Calvin Ho, Senior General Manager of Sunway Theme Parks while Garuda Indonesia was represented by Fredrik Kasiepo, General Manager of Garuda Indonesia (Malaysia).

“The signing of this MoU marks a significant milestone for Sunway Lagoon as we continue to expand our reach in Asia, true to our recent acclaim as one of the top 10 most visited theme parks, according to 2018 TEA/AECOM Theme Index and Museum Index. In recent times, we have witnessed a steadily growing number of visitors from Indonesia and as such, we wanted to make the appeal of visiting Sunway Lagoon more enticing for our neighbours from Indonesia, which led to this latest development with Garuda Indonesia,” said Calvin Ho.

Indeed, tourist arrivals from Indonesia marked a significant increase of 17.2% with 3,277,689 tourists entering Malaysia from Indonesia between January and December 2018, owing to significant efforts by travel agents, distributors and airlines offering travellers tactical promotions through travel packages and competitive airfares. This year, Malaysia expects the number of Indonesian tourists to increase to 3.6 million.

“As the flagship carrier of Indonesia, it is our commitment to continuously improve our service and provide added value to our passenger throughout 90 destinations worldwide, including Malaysia. This collaboration will certainly go a long way in our pursuit of delivering top value to our guests, and look forward to a fruitful partnership with them,” said Fredrik Kasiepo.

With more than 500 daily flights and a fleet of more than 200 aircraft, Garuda Indonesia serves its passengers with the award-winning “Garuda Indonesia Experience”, which has earned the airline a 5-star rating by Skytrax.

  

“We certainly look forward to building on this partnership with such a remarkable airline as Garuda, towards a mutually beneficial and cordial working relationship. As such, we will be extending this offer to Garuda passengers all the way to December next year, in conjunction with Visit Malaysia Year 2020,” added Calvin Ho.
