Kuala Lumpur, 22nd November: After Malaysia’s government eased its quarantine and social distancing measures earlier this year, the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC) saw a significant bounce back in demand for in-person events, achieving 40% more than its expected 2022 targets. It is forecast that the business industry will return to pre-pandemic levels sooner than expected in early 2023.

So far, KLCC hosted about 1,350 events attracting over 750,000 delegates and contributing RM 285 million (US$62 million) in economic impact to Malaysia in 2022. According to the venue, its 2022 results equate to approximately 90% of its 2019 performance. In addition, about 50% of its 2023 target has already been confirmed.
