In echoing the team’s success, Dato’ Joyce Yap added “For the remaining retail spaces, we are actively seeking new-to-market brands locally and from abroad. We are in different stages of discussions with retailers at present. Despite current market conditions, there are still many regional brands interested to enter Malaysia because of our strong fundamentals and low business costs. However, they are selective of their mall of choice. We affirm that Pavilion Bukit Jalil’s strategic location and opening is timely for their brand entry into Malaysia and this has elevated their confidence in us”.
Pavilion aims to potentially tap into the millions of overseas tourist as well as local tourists that visit Kuala Lumpur every year. As reported by Tourism Malaysia, Malaysia welcomed 13.35 million international tourists in the first half of 2019, with tourist receipts at RM 41.69 billion – placing shopping as the primary tourism contributor. As such, the opening of Pavilion Bukit Jalil will help in solidifying Kuala Lumpur’s position as one of the best shopping destinations in the region.
