Must-try Eats in KL GASTRONOMIC DELIGHTS Have you ever pondered how Malaysia came to be one country? One of the factors, without a doubt, is eating! Because Malaysia is a cosmopolitan country, there are many different types of cuisine to choose from, each with its own distinct flavour! Food is an essential aspect of culture since traditional foods are typically passed down from generation to generation, and it is one of the ways we may maintain our culture. Many of them even create their own restaurants and serve traditional recipes so that people from all walks of life may sample their cuisine. Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia’s largest city, is home to people of all ethnicities, faiths, and nationalities. There are several restaurants, cafés, pubs, and kiosks, making it one of the greatest places to sample a variety of cuisines! That is why Kuala Lumpur is a tourist’s favourite destination since it offers both superb entertainment and deli- cious food!

BEAUTY & WELLNESS Rest & Relax Beauty is primarily concerned with how you seem, whereas well- being is concerned with how you feel or elements of your health. Beauty services are often more aesthetic in nature, whereas wellness services are typically more health-related. Beauty is primarily concerned with how you seem, whereas wellbeing is concerned with how you feel or elements of your health. Beauty services are often more aesthetic in nature, whereas wellness ser- vices are typically more health-related. Prepare to wave goodbye to the tension, anxiety, and tiredness that has been weighing on your shoulders. After a day of touring and shopping, rest and unwind at one of Kuala Lumpur’s many spas and wellness centres. As the globe moves closer to adopting a health-conscious atti- tude, tourists to the capital city will definitely be delighted with the burgeoning wellness tourism business, which is ranked among Asia Pacific’s top ten. This is unsurprising given that the environs of these peaceful retreats have been created to help guests reach a peaceful but uplifting frame of mind. You’ll look better if you’re healthy, and you’ll feel better if you’re healthy. As a result, beauty and wellbeing refers to the distinction between what is categorised as a “beauty treatment” and what is classified as a “wellness therapy.” It’s all about being at ease in your own skin when it comes to beauty. If you work too hard, don’t get enough sleep, and don’t drink enough water to stay hydrated, your skin might become dehydrated and unhappy. To achieve a balance of outer beauty and inside health, you must carefully select your food, cosmetic treatments, and skin care products. 66

Medical Tourism in MEDICAL TOURISM Malaysia Medical tourism can be defined as the process of traveling outside the country of residence for the purpose of receiving medical care. Growth in the popularity of medical tourism has captured the attention of policy-makers, researchers and the media. Originally, the term referred to the travel of patients from less-developed countries to developed nations in pursuit of the treatments not available in their homeland. Malaysia has grown its health tourism industry to become a leading global destination for international patients in Asia and beyond. While the main sources of medical tourism arrivals to the country are the United Kingdom, Indonesia, the Philippines, Japan, Australia, China, India, and the United States, the Medical Healthcare Travel Council (MHTC) is actively looking to set up strong market ties with the member countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations and countries in the Middle East. The MHTC is promoting its 79 hos- pitals to Cambodia, Vietnam, Myanmar, Brunei, and Middle Eastern countries such as Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Oman. Malaysia is currently in direct rivalry with Thailand and Singapore, the ASEAN giants in the medical tourism market. Despite the higher availability of cutting-edge equipment and qualified specialists in Singapore, Malaysia is slowly catching up to Singapore as a medical tourism destination. However, Thailand remains a major rival. Malaysia is excellence in Cardiovascular Care and IVF. Malaysia is carving a niche in cardiology and fertility treatments, with more than 33 advanced heart treatment centers in the country, including its renowned National Heart Institute. Its fertility centers also boast of success rates that are well ahead of the global average. Currently, Malaysia is constructing many more centres of excellence like this and utilising cutting-edge technology to provide world-class healthcare. It is on the cusp of establishing itself as a destination of choice for healthcare trips, thanks to its exceptional improvement in the medical tourism environment. 71
