During and after the trip, the media will create content in different perspectives to promote the events with the theme - ‘Journey with the Films and Light Festival’ and publish them in the media’s respective platforms. MGTO Malaysia will also produce a ‘Journey with the Films’ Digital Travel Guide and distribute it in online platforms, social media, travel fair and roadshows.

Moreover, MGTO Malaysia have engaged three millennials KOLs, including: Jeff Lau (marathoner runner), Khaisin Low (Beauty Pageant) and Mika Chan (model) to film a series of short film in Macao featuring the latest attractions, events and festivals with the theme ‘Travel with Buddies’.
