Chennai, 19 April 2026: Pickyourtrail has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Tourism Malaysia to strengthen outbound travel demand from India, focusing on curated experiences and flexible booking solutions.
The agreement, formalised in Chennai in the presence of the Malaysian Consul General, marks a strategic step toward enhancing tourism cooperation between India and Malaysia—one of the fastest-growing destinations for Indian travellers.
Pickyourtrail Tourism Malaysia Partnership Targets Indian Travellers
The Pickyourtrail Tourism Malaysia partnership is designed to tap into the rapidly growing Indian outbound travel market. Under this collaboration, both organisations will roll out targeted marketing campaigns and personalised travel offerings tailored to evolving traveller preferences.
Indian tourists are increasingly seeking customised, experience-led itineraries rather than standard packages. This partnership aims to address that demand by combining destination expertise with technology-driven travel planning.
Flexible Travel with No-Cost EMI Options
A key highlight of the Pickyourtrail Tourism Malaysia partnership is the introduction of no-cost EMI travel packages, making international travel more accessible to a wider audience.
Travellers can now book Malaysia trips with flexible payment plans ranging from three to nine months, significantly reducing upfront financial burden.
This initiative aligns with changing consumer behavior, where flexibility in payment and planning plays a crucial role in travel decision-making.
Added Value Through Airline Incentives
In addition to flexible financing, the Pickyourtrail Tourism Malaysia partnership will include airfare-based incentives in collaboration with airline partners.
These incentives are expected to:
- Enhance overall value for travellers
- Encourage early bookings
- Improve affordability of international travel
By integrating flight benefits with curated packages, the partnership aims to deliver a seamless and cost-effective travel experience.
Industry Leaders Highlight Changing Travel Trends
Hari Ganapathy, Co-founder and CEO of Pickyourtrail, emphasized the shift in traveller expectations.
“Indian travellers today want more control over how they plan and pay for travel. This collaboration allows us to combine destination expertise with flexible financing, making travel more accessible without compromising on experience,” he said.
Hishamuddin Mustafa, Director of Tourism Malaysia Chennai, highlighted India’s growing importance as a source market.
“India continues to be one of our key markets. By working together on curated offerings and flexible travel options, we aim to make Malaysia even more compelling for Indian travellers,” he noted.
Malaysia Strengthens Position in Indian Outbound Market
The Pickyourtrail Tourism Malaysia partnership comes at a time when Malaysia continues to see strong growth from the Indian market.
Several factors contribute to this trend:
- Close geographical proximity
- Simplified visa processes
- Diverse tourism offerings including beaches, nature, and urban experiences
Malaysia’s ability to cater to a wide range of traveller segments—from luxury seekers to budget explorers—makes it an attractive destination for Indian tourists.
Strategic Collaboration to Drive Future Growth
The Pickyourtrail Tourism Malaysia partnership is expected to drive sustained growth through improved accessibility, targeted engagement, and innovative travel solutions.
By leveraging digital platforms, flexible payment models, and curated experiences, both organisations aim to redefine how Indian travellers plan and experience international holidays.
This collaboration also reflects a broader trend in the travel industry, where personalization, flexibility, and value-driven offerings are becoming key differentiators.

For the travel trade, the collaboration opens new opportunities in:
- Customised international travel packages
