INTRODUCTION
Thirty three years ago, in 1975, a group of travel and tour agents initiated an association to represent their interests. That association, aptly named Malaysian Association of Tour and Travel Agents or MATTA for short, started with 30 members.
The founder of MATTA was the late Mr Loh Yit Lock who was also the 1st President.
