Which states contributed the most tourism revenue to Rain Rave?

Question

Accepted Answer

Rain Rave’s biggest tourism revenue contributors by state were not specified in Parliament

Tourism Minister Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing said the Rain Rave Water Festival generated an estimated RM320.4 million in overall tourism revenue and drew close to half a million visitors across all seven states where it was held concurrently. The minister also stated that revenue from six of those states totalled some RM71 million and that estimates put the festival’s total economic contribution at RM370 million. However, the information provided did not name which individual state among Negeri Sembilan, Terengganu, Johor, Melaka, Kedah, Pahang, and Labuan contributed the most tourism revenue.
The festival ran across seven states on Labour Day
The Rain Rave Water Festival was held on the Labour Day holiday in Negeri Sembilan, Terengganu, Johor, Melaka, Kedah, Pahang and Labuan. It took place concurrently across these seven states, and participation was described as close to half a million visitors in total.
Overall tourism revenue and visitor turnout were provided, but not by state
Tiong told Parliament that the event generated an estimated RM320.4 million in overall tourism revenue. He also said the festival drew close to half a million visitors across all seven states, but the figures were not broken down to show which state produced the highest tourism revenue.
Revenue from six states was given as a combined figure only
The minister stated that the revenue from six states was some RM71 million. The combined nature of this figure means the individual contributions of each state were not identified, leaving no way to determine which of the seven states contributed the most from the stated data.
The economic contribution estimate did not identify top states
Tiong further said estimates indicate the festival contributed a total of RM370 million to the economy. That total estimate was not linked to any state-level breakdown, so it does not indicate which specific state led in tourism revenue.
