In conjunction with Visit Malaysia 2026, lifestyle mascot Zuba has officially launched a nationwide tourism activation titled “Zuba x Visit Malaysia 2026 Photo Check-In Campaign”, inviting both locals and international visitors to explore Malaysia through creativity, culture, and travel storytelling.

The campaign kickstarted on 1 February 2026 and will run until 30 April 2026, turning selected landmarks, malls, and tourist-friendly locations across the country into interactive photo check-in spots. These locations are designed not just for snapshots, but as vibrant touchpoints that showcase Malaysia’s diverse heritage, food scene, and creative lifestyle.




A Fun Way to Experience Malaysia

According to organizers, this campaign is more than a photo contest. It is a fresh way to encourage travellers to engage with Malaysia’s tourism experience, blending discovery with digital participation. Visitors simply need to visit designated Zuba photo spots, take creative photos, and share them online to stand a chance to win attractive prizes.

Participation is open to the public, including international tourists, making it a truly inclusive nationwide initiative aligned with the spirit of Visit Malaysia 2026.

1. Visit official Zuba photo check-in locations

Supporting Sustainability & CSR

Beyond tourism promotion, the campaign also carries a meaningful social mission. Proceeds and brand participation support sun bear conservation efforts in Malaysia, reinforcing Ayubhouz’s ongoing commitment to corporate social responsibility (CSR) and environmental protection.

Organisers emphasised that tourism today goes beyond accommodation and attractions. It is about creating experiences, stories, and shared moments that benefit communities, culture, and conservation.
A Lifestyle Movement, Not Just a Campaign

With Zuba positioned as a friendly travel companion, this initiative transforms everyday travel moments into shareable lifestyle content. From city malls to cultural hotspots, Zuba becomes a symbol of joyful exploration and connection.

As Malaysia prepares for Visit Malaysia 2026, campaigns like this reflect a new generation of tourism storytelling: visual, interactive, socially conscious, and driven by community participation.

Love in Every Cup of Coffee - Where Every Cup Tells the Story of Sabah

-
Image
In 2020, as the global pandemic swept across the world, uncertainty clouded the future. Flights were grounded, businesses stalled, and many plans were put on hold. Yet for some, this period became a turning point. In Sabah’s rural landscape, a quiet but determined coffee dream was taking root. Located in the interior of Sabah, Nature Coffee Farm began as a humble experiment driven by passion, persistence, and belief in the land. What started with curiosity soon evolved into a long-term commitment: to cultivate coffee that truly reflects Sabah’s soil, climate, and spirit. Coffee That Grows With the Land Coffee trees require patience. From planting to harvesting, the process takes years before results are visible. At Nature Coffee Farm, the team carefully nurtures each plant without rushing nature. The coffee cherries are grown in harmony with the environment, allowing the land to dictate the rhythm rather than industrial timelines. The founders believe coffee is honest. It reflects how ...

Lihing Experience with Grub N Vine Where Taste Meets Tradition, and Learning Becomes Sensory By Mr Alfred Allen Ginsos, Editor-in-Chief, FAVSTYLE

-
Image
In Sabah, tradition is never static. It ferments, matures, and evolves. Few cultural expressions embody this living process as eloquently as Lihing. More than a rice wine, Lihing is a cultural language, articulated through patience, ritual, and refinement. This philosophy came vividly to life at the Lihing Experience hosted by Grub N Vine , where guests were invited not merely to taste, but to understand. From Heritage to the Glass Rooted in the same ancestral brewing lineage as Tapai, Lihing represents a more composed and refined expression of fermentation. Crafted primarily from glutinous rice and fermented over an extended period of two months or more, Lihing undergoes a deliberate separation process, removing rice and yeast sediments. What remains is a translucent amber liquid, elegant in clarity and deepening in tone as it matures. This distinction is not cosmetic. It is philosophical. Where Tapai remains intimate and rustic, traditionally stored in jars for household enjoymen...
