ASEAN Records is proud to officially recognise Golden Destinations Group Bhd for achieving:
First Publicly Listed B2B Travel Company
(listed on 16 April 2026, Bursa Malaysia ACE Market)
This recognition celebrates Golden Destinations Group Bhd’s historic listing on the ACE Market of Bursa Malaysia on 16 April 2026, marking a significant milestone for the business-to-business (B2B) travel industry in Malaysia and Southeast Asia.
The achievement reflects the company’s development into a publicly listed travel enterprise, highlighting the growing role of structured travel distribution networks and industry partnerships.
Achieving a Historic Listing on Bursa Malaysia
On 16 April 2026, Golden Destinations Group Bhd officially debuted on the ACE Market of Bursa Malaysia, becoming the first publicly listed B2B travel company under its recognised record category.
The listing marked an important step in the company’s corporate development, strengthening its position within Malaysia’s travel industry while providing a platform to pursue future business expansion.
This achievement demonstrates the potential of the B2B travel business model, recognising the company’s ability to develop a structured travel distribution network and establish a presence in the public capital market.
Connecting Travel Agents Through a B2B Business Model
Golden Destinations operates primarily through a business-to-business travel distribution model, supplying curated outbound travel packages to licensed travel agencies rather than selling directly to individual travellers.
Its services cover travel itinerary development, flight arrangements, accommodation, transportation, cruises and overseas ground tours, bringing together different components of international travel into organised packages.
By working with travel agents and overseas service partners, the company supports a distribution network that connects travellers with international destinations while providing agencies with professionally coordinated travel offerings.
Strengthening Regional Travel Industry Development
Following its public listing, Golden Destinations has outlined plans to strengthen its operations through geographical expansion, digital infrastructure development and improvements to its travel distribution capabilities.
Its growth initiatives include expanding its presence in Sabah and Sarawak, strengthening relationships with travel agencies and exploring opportunities in international markets.
The ASEAN Records recognition acknowledges Golden Destinations’ public listing milestone and its contribution to the development of Malaysia’s B2B travel industry, reflecting the evolving opportunities available to travel businesses across the region.

ASEAN Records recognition was officially presented on 16 April 2026, in conjunction with Golden Destinations Group Bhd’s listing on the ACE Market of Bursa Malaysia.
The recognition was received by Charles Lim Yong Zhao, Chief Operating Officer of Golden Destinations Group Bhd, acknowledging his leadership and the contributions of the company’s management and teams in achieving this corporate milestone.
