#ABOUTKL 2.0 - Tourism Malaysia Ropes in Social Media Community to Promote Kuala Lumpur



Tourism Malaysia has launced the #AboutKL programme to harness the social media platform as a means to promote Kuala Lumpur as a tourist destination.


Opening gimmick of #AboutKL and 10th years anniversary of Hop On Hop Off

The programme sees a total of 17 bloggers, social media influencers and members of the media taking part in the 3-day 2-night programme filled with activities focused on the theme of heritage/culture, food and arts, giving them a better understanding of Kuala Lumpur and all that it offers as a tourist destination.

A tour of Muzium Negara's current exhibition on Wayang Kulit (Shadow Puppets) was also on the programme which shed light on this ancient tradition of storytelling as well as the symbolisms in its stories and characters.

The highlight of the programme was the Gala Night at the 113-year old theatre, Panggung Bandaraya, on 29 December. Participants had been entertained by a performance of MUD KL which tells the story of Kuala Lumpur's founding. This followed by a fashion show by leading designers Bon Zainal and Jo Disaya who will display their artistic talents on the runway.


Chinatown Heritage Trails and food hunting

YB Dato' Seri Mohamed Nazri commended the #AboutKL initiative, saying "It is a wonderful platform for Tourism Malaysia and its private sector partners to reach out and engage with the social media community - the bloggers, influencers and other media - and to promote Kuala Lumpur's tourist attractions through product update tours, talks, and activities."

The resulting articles, blogs, videos and photographs written/made by the participants of the programme will then be shared on the AboutKL website (aboutkl.my). It serves as a single reference point for the public and tourists to learn more about Kuala Lumpur from the personal experiences of these new media writers and bloggers.

The #AboutKL programme will be organised regularly as a means to update the social media community on the latest attractions and news on Kuala Lumpur.
