President’s Message

Assalamualaikum and warm greetings,

On behalf of the Pertubuhan Pengusaha Homestay Malaysia (PPHM), I am pleased to welcome you to go2homestay.my — the official one-stop platform to discover and book authentic homestay experiences across Malaysia.

Since its establishment, PPHM has been committed to empowering rural communities through the Homestay Program, built on the authenticity of local culture, the beauty of nature, and the unique lifestyle of our people. This initiative not only strengthens the rural economy but also positions Malaysia as a leading destination for community-based tourism that is warm, genuine, and memorable.

As we move towards Visit Homestay Year 2025 and Visit Malaysia Year 2026, PPHM remains dedicated to modernising digital marketing for homestays, expanding our international network, and fostering collaborations with government agencies, local entrepreneurs, and regional tourism partners. We believe that community tourism can unite people, preserve heritage, and create sustainable economic impact nationwide.

Through go2homestay.my, travellers can easily explore, connect, and book authentic homestay experiences — whether for family getaways, international students, corporate retreats, or anyone seeking the charm and tranquillity of Malaysia’s rural life.

Finally, I encourage all visitors to support our local homestay operators and make the Malaysian homestay experience your top choice for meaningful travel. Together, let us build a sustainable, inclusive, and proudly Malaysian community tourism ecosystem for the world to discover.

Thank you.
