TPN | Digital Travel Storytelling Competition 2026
Nexus MPC • April 4, 2026
MPC, through the Tourism Productivity Nexus (TPN) and in collaboration with strategic partners, supported the strengthening of productivity, digital capability, destination visibility, and community participation through the Digital Travel Storytelling Competition 2026. As part of the TPN initiative and guided by the theme “Sustainable Tourism,” the programme provided a platform for students to showcase meaningful stories on Malaysia’s cultural, heritage and environmental assets through creative video and photography content.
Held from January to March 2026, with the final evaluation taking place on 4 and 5 April 2026, the competition attracted 2,556 participants from schools, polytechnics, and higher learning institutions. Organised through a collaboration between Politeknik Sultan Idris Shah (PSIS), TPN, UNDP Malaysia, MPC, and industry partners, the initiative helped nurture digital storytelling talent while strengthening participants’ capabilities in planning, producing, and presenting quality digital media.
Moving forward, TPN will continue to strengthen industry–academia collaboration and expand this strategic partnership to the regional and international levels to accelerate digital talent development, encourage innovation in sustainable tourism storytelling, and drive productivity improvements within the tourism sector.
