They do not sell packages, as many would think. Their job is to provide information to visitors who enquire with them during the fair. Example, if you want to visit Komodo Island in Indonesia, you would have to go to Indonesia Tourism's booth to get information about \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/blog.malaysia-asia.my\/2015\/11\/how-to-get-to-komodo-island.html\" target=\"_blank\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: black;\"\u003Ehow to get to Komodo Island\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E, and then they may send you to one of their representatives who operates a resort or service to Komodo.

Next, you either book via their website or find a travel agent that sells this package.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ETourism boards here usually promote destinations in their respective countries, therefore when you visit the Japan National Tourism Organization or JNTO booths, they will have many booths promoting various parts of Japan, each with their own respective tourism department or private organization.

Therefore, someone like 12Fly will be offering discounted flights to London, Paris or Rome via Qatar Airways and the promotions will also be based on a fixed duration period and sometimes not valid on certain days.

The  other entrance is located along Jalan Rahmat which is off Jalan Ipoh.  The regulars or vendors usually use the second entrance to the Matta  Fair as it is much easier to get in and the third entrance is via the  UMNO Building main entrance, most people use this as a drop off point.  There is parking up there but not cheap as well. I usually go through  the second entrance to PWTC. \u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\u003Cb\u003EParking at PWTC?\u003C\/b\u003E This is a nightmare if you are planning on doing so. Unless of course  you come at 8am. Alternatively, you can leave your car at the hotel car  jockey, but this will cost you from RM20-40 depending on how long you  are there. Another way is to park at Hentian Purta Bus Terminal but I  have heard that break-ins have happened there so park at your own risk.  The other car park is over at Sunway Putra Mall, hourly rates and you  just cross the road. Sometimes I will park at the open aired car parks  along Jalan Putra, right after the LRT station. The rates are fixed at  RM8 or RM10 for the entire day. Then it is a short 300-500 meter walk to  PWTC. Never, I repeat, never park illegally along the main roads here,  you are guaranteed to get a police summons, or worst, get your car towed away! \u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\u003Cb\u003EMy legs are killing me!\u003C\/b\u003E The smartest thing to do is come wearing a pair of comfortable  walkabout shoes or sports shows as you never know how long you will take  here. Forget the high heels as it is going to hurt your legs after a  few hours. The place is huge as there are three main halls there where you will be walking a lot.\u0026nbsp; \u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\u003Cb\u003EHungry?\u003C\/b\u003E Yes, everyone needs to eat, so at the Matta Fair, there are a number of  choices of food available. However, these are event prices, so prepare  to pay a little more while the selections are poor. Here are some other  places nearby where you can get some decent food. At Sunway Putra Mall,  there is a food court on the top level. There are cafes and fast food  restaurants at the ground floor while a Starbucks is out front for the  coffee lovers. At the second entrance (Jalan Rahmat) there are various  restaurants selling Malay and Mamak food which is street prices. Inside  the PWTC, there is a Riverside Cafe which is slightly on the higher  side. Otherwise, you can pack some sandwiches and drinks to bring along  to the fair. \u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\u003Cb\u003EI lost my phone and wallet!\u003C\/b\u003E Yes, at crowded places in KL, it is no surprise that pickpockets  operate in full force. You can never be too safe at events like these.  Always keep your belongings close to you and ladies, when you carry hand  bags, please zip them up! Also for those with back packs, watch those  zippers behind as thieves can easily unzip and take stuff out.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cb\u003EHelp!

If  you want to browse and get the best deal after five hours of shopping  around, you might as well leave the kids with a baby sitter or family  member. Bringing them here will simply make things a little difficult.  Seriously, what can the kids learn from this except mingling with thousands of people?\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cb\u003EIs the place Wheelchair Friendly? \u003C\/b\u003EYes it is, but you need to check with the relevant authorities about using an elevator to get to the first floor of the building.

Outside the event area in PWTC, there are some large toilets as well. However, since there are tens of thousands of people moving in and out, you should not expect a 100% clean washroom. Bring your own sanitizers if you must. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cb\u003EShould I bring bag loads of cash or credit cards? \u003C\/b\u003ESince most of the travel packages only require a minimal booking fee, you need not do so.

While there are some who come on  all three days to scout booth by booth and finally making the purchase  on the last day before dinner. Sometimes, travel agents may throw prices  or offer 'Last Day Special' deals. One of the reasons is that on the  3rd day, they may have not hit their quota so they need to have a quick  sale. Another is that most of the exhibitors would be packing up to go  back by 8pm. A lot of them come from around Malaysia therefore they need  to prepare and catch the early morning flight\u0026nbsp; or bus back and then  clock in at office the same morning. Such is life... I've heard some  even fly back on the last flight from KL on the 3rd day of the fair.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EOverall, it can get hectic or stressful when you visit this fair, the best is to come prepared so you know what to expect.
