Thousands of visitors and tourists thronged Putra World Trade Centre (PWTC) in Kuala Lumpur to get great bargains and fantastic domestic travel and tour options at the inaugural 3-day Malaysian Domestic Tourism Fair from July 3 - 5, 2009.
Special highlights include tourism workshops, presentations, Latin dance performances and cultural shows.
The crowd on the first day was small and booth exhibitors began to worry but were relieved as the number of visitors and sales soon picked up towards the later part of the second day and on the last day.
This is the first edition of a domestic travel and tour fair held and a successful one with visitors crowding the booths at the fair for the best travel bargains and discounts on tour packages, air tickets and other travel-related products.

Once inside, the rider rolls the ball forward.
Sometimes assitants are needed to push the ball rolling.
The fair attracted many young and energetic thrill seekers to come and experience the Zorbing Ball Rides. It was an unforgettable experience indeed for them.
