ISKANDAR PUTERI (Malaysia), Nov 30 (Bernama) -- Legoland Malaysia Resort is strengthening its operational capacity and upgrading its facilities as it anticipates a significant rise in tourist arrivals ahead of Visit Malaysia (VM) and Visit Johor (TMJ) 2026.

Legoland Malaysia Resort vice president CS Lim said preparations have been underway for months to ensure the resort can handle the expected surge in attendance.

“Preparations are well underway. We began much earlier with staffing, upgrading our ticketing system, improving touchpoints, and enhancing maintenance and training.

“We are preparing our capacity fully in anticipation of higher attendance for VM2026 and TMJ2026,” he told Bernama on the sidelines of Legoland’s recent Brick-Tacular Holidays launch.

The federal government is targeting 47 million foreign tourist arrivals for VM2026, while the Johor state government aims to attract 12 million domestic and international visitors for TMJ2026.

Lim said demand has continued to grow year after year and is expected to rise further next year. However, he declined to disclose official visitor statistics.

He added that Legoland remains committed to offering new attractions annually to keep the attractions “fresh and exciting,” with recent additions such as the world’s first Lego Flower Garden, the revamped Singapore Miniland Skyline, and the Lego Ferrari Build and Race experience.

“We always create something new every year. Rest assured, we will announce new attractions next year as well to excite visitors,” he added.

Meanwhile, on the upcoming Johor–Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ) and the expected increase in cross-border connectivity, Lim said the development will have a positive impact on regional tourism.

“The frequency of cross-border travel will increase, and there will be many more visitations.

“We are not just looking at Singapore, but also regional markets such as Indonesia, China, the Philippines and Thailand,” he said.

Lim added that Legoland is also exploring future collaborations and does not limit its partnerships to either local or international stakeholders.
