If you were flying to Australia via Dubai just to get your hands on the duty free shopping items at the Dubai International Airport … get ready to experience a more diversified opportunity of multi-destination holiday via Malaysia.

The country that has a promising and multistarer International carrier Malaysian Airline (MH) is on its way to becoming duty free. Although Kuala Lumpur has already been well known as Shopper’s paradise but the recent effort to promote Malaysian tourism is making flights to Sydney via Malaysia, an even better adventure.

The Malaysian Government has recently announced a waiver of duty on roughly 400 imported goods beginning January 2011, that has opened the road for Duty free shopping in Malaysia in near future.

Here it is worth mentioning that Malaysia was the first to establish a duty free zone back in 1987. The Island of Langkawi is not only a beach lover’s heaven but also a Shopper’s paradise. Also staying at the Island or booking an accommodation in Langkawi is comparatively cheaper than other destinations as its also Local taxes free.

This latest action of Malaysian government is not only a blessing for the tourists and travelers but also will attract a wider range of Luxury brands to invest in the country.
