Dream - Which country is the most popular destination in Southeast Asia? The answer is Malaysia, which is expected to have nearly 29 million foreign tourist arrivals by 2023.

With that number, it makes the neighboring country become the most popular tourist destination in Southeast Asia, a title previously held by Thailand before Covid.

According to VNExpress, Singaporeans are the largest source of foreign tourists for Malaysia with 8.3 million people, followed by Indonesians, Thais, Chinese, and Bruneians.

While Thailand ranks second with 28 million foreign tourists visiting the Land of the White Elephant, followed by Singapore with 13.6 million foreign tourists.

Filipina and Cambodia each attract approximately 5.4 million international tourists in 2023.

The Southeast Asian countries are competing to attract foreign tourists with flexible immigration policies since the end of last year.
