MaTEx is an industry level certification programme for tourism products and services, comprises five newly developed standards for travel agencies, adventure tourism, product/site operators/owners, event management companies, and MICE/event venues. Standards for homestays and kampungstays are under development and expected to call for applications for its pilot project in January 2020, making it standard number six under the certification scheme.

Each category of the standards has approximately between 100 to 150 indicators or requirements for companies to comply with in order to be certified under MaTEx.

MaTEx aims to grow tourism businesses to the next level, improve the quality of tourism products and services, and subsequently enhance tourists’ trust and confidence in Malaysia’s tourism products and services. The programme also aims to recognise quality tourism products and services.

MaTEx is Initiative T2 from five (5) initiatives at sectoral level for tourism industry as stipulated in the Malaysia Productivity Blueprint (MPB), undertaken by Tourism Productivity Nexus (TPN). Also TPN is one of the nine (9) industry-led Nexus under the purview of Malaysia Productivity Corporation (MPC).

Tagged as a certification programme “From the industry, to the industry”, MaTEx’s standards and implementation plan were developed by TPN’s Technical Working Groups, comprising industry players who are experts in the specific fields of the standards. The development of the programme and its standards employ the

bottom-up approach in which every aspect of the progress has been led by the industry players.
