KLIMS’18 FLOOR SPACE NEARLY SOLD OUT
WITH 98.5 per cent of event space sold and an extensive list of new vehicles, including seven concept cars, to be displayed, the Kuala Lumpur International Motor Show 2018 (KLIMS’18) is set to be a motoring extravaganza.
Malaysian Automotive Association (MAA), the organiser of the event, said the event space was nearly sold out.
“We have sold almost everything, only 1.5 per cent of space is left out of 15,800 square metres allocated. There are many queries to take part in KLIMS’18,” said MAA president Datuk Aishah Ahmad.
Aishah said the event was expected to generate RM7 million of media exposure.
“The KLIMS’18 advertising and promotion campaign is launched to a minimum RM7 million worth of media exposure, with the support of KLIMS’18 media partners.”
Media channels, such as television, radio, print media, digital and outdoor, were chosen to promote KLIMS’18.
The New Straits Times Press (Malaysia) Bhd (NSTP) Group, through its two newspapers, Berita Harian and the New Straits Times (NST), is one of the media organisations selected to work with MAA to promote KLIMS’18.
KLIMS’18 is one of the events in the Malaysia’s tourism calendar of events and festivals this year for the motoring extravaganza.
Aishah said: “After a five-year hiatus since the previous KLIMS, automotive industry players are ready to bring Malaysia’s iconic motor show back with exciting exhibits and attractions to capture the attention of motoring enthusiasts and the public.
“KLIMS’18 is the country’s launch pad for new passenger car models, bikes and commercial vehicles. We received confirmation that there will be seven concept cars at the show. Automotive products will also be introduced to visitors at KLIMS’18.”
She added that there would be attractions, including works by universities students, displays of exotic vehicles, the longest limousine in Malaysia and customised art on bikes and vehicles.
