Rekindling the passion for travel…
“A Journey of a Thousand Miles, begins with a Single Step” – a well-known quote that resonates perfectly with travel.
While it may not be possible to travel physically due to the current pandemic, why not reignite the passion for travel and begin the ‘journey of a thousand miles’ through the pages of a book.
“Our desire to travel and learn about the world has become difficult due to current restrictions and the realities that impact and affect us, as a result of Covid-19. The whole world has come to a ‘standstill’ and has halted all forms of travel for the past two years, something no one could have predicted”, said Andrew Yap, Co-Founder of BookXcess Sdn. Bhd.

“With the TRAVEL FAIR thematic, we want to rekindle the passion for travelling through the pages of a book and, more importantly, encourage Malaysians to enjoy and experience the joy of travel again through books.”
“With people spending more time at home, the TRAVEL FAIR theme is meant to engage with people to create some buzz and get them to indulge in their travel fantasies while we wait for the day, to once again be able to cross borders. Reading has proven to be therapeutic and is a perfect form of escapism, and we want to ensure that books remain accessible to everyone. When you can’t travel, let books transport you”, Andrew added.
“Through the act of reading, we hope readers can satisfy their wanderlust and remain positive until the travel restrictions are revised. This quote by Author Katrina Mayer aptly describes how books can take you on that adventurous journey – “A book is a magical thing that lets you travel to far-away places without ever leaving your chair”, he concluded.

The TRAVEL FAIR thematic was created to encourage people to ‘travel’ and take a journey through the pages of a book to reinvigorate the love for travelling amongst readers in Malaysia.
