如今我们步入21世纪，藉着科技的创新发展，世界各国的联系日益紧密已逐渐发展成为地球村。然而这世界的和谐与和平却不见得普及化！由于缺乏信任与了解，冲突与分裂却层出不穷。
所以文化与旅游业显得更加独特。
通过提倡旅游，人们可作全方位的文化、风俗与民情的交流与了解，从而进一步地促进互信与培养友谊！
最终由於人与人之间的和谐与友情，人们对经济趋向更加有信心，促使工业与商业更加蓬勃发展。
所以马中基金会属下的文化与旅游局的设立就是希望通过旅游让各国的文化能夠有机会相互了解与交流，最终催化及促进相关各行业的商机处处！
We are already into the 21st Century.
With technology, the world has become inter-connected and resembles a global village. Yet peace & harmony has not been universal.Conflict & division arise because there is a sore lack of trust and understanding.
Travel & Culture are no longer standalone luxury pursuits.Through travel, people mingle & exchange experiences of culture & lifestyle. With understanding, trust & friendship can be fostered.
People should be able to have affordable travel to promote cultural exchange at all levels.The result is peace & fellowship between peoples. Commerce and Industry will boom when business outlook turns upbeat & confidence raised.
