Why is Malaysia a favoured tourist destination?

Malaysia is on the Malay Peninsula in Southeast Asia. Most of Malaysia is covered by forest, with a mountain range running the length of the peninsula. The ancestors of the people that now inhabit the Malaysian peninsula first migrated to the area between 2500 and 1500 BC British and Dutch interest in the region grew in the 1800's, with the British East India Company's establishment of a trading settlement on the island of Singapore. Trade soared, and Malaysia became a British protectorate in the 1880's. At about the same time, rubber trees were introduced from Brazil. With the mass production of automobiles, rubber became a valuable export. The independent state of Malaysia came into existence in 1963. Today, Malaysia is a federation of 13 states and three federal territories. It is one of the region's key tourist destinations, with its breathtaking beaches.

Background:	During the late 18th and 19th centuries , Great Britain established colonies and protectorates in the area of current Malaysia; these were occupied by Japan from 1942 to 1945. In 1948 , the British-ruled territories on the Malay Peninsula formed the Federation of Malaya , which became independent in 1957. Malaysia was formed in 1963 when the former British colonies of Singapore and the East Malaysian states of Sabah and Sarawak on the northern coast of Borneo joined the Federation. The first several years of the country's history were marred by a Communist insurgency , Indonesian confrontation with Malaysia , Philippine claims to Sabah , and Singapore's secession from the Federation in 1965. During the 22-year term of Prime Minister MAHATHIR bin Mohamad (1981-2003) , Malaysia was successful in diversifying its economy from dependence on exports of raw materials to expansion in manufacturing , services , and tourism.
