Since the easing of the interstate travel restrictions and as local travel destinations and hotels gradually reopen their doors to guests, many people have been hitting the road for a domestic getaway to enjoy a bit of nature and freedom after nearly 3 months of movement restriction and stay home orders.

In the past month, some of Airbnb’s top non-urban destinations booked in Malaysia include Cameron Highlands, Kuala Terengganu, and Port Dickson (based on Airbnb internal booking data for the past 30 days as of June 2020), as Malaysians satisfy their wanderlust by exploring the nation’s hidden tourist gems and more.
