News this week: The Malaysia Convention & Exhibition Bureau (MyCEB) is forecasting revenues generated by international events in Malaysia to reach US$294 million in the 2012 financial year.

According to Tony Nagamaiah, general manager of International Events at MyCEB, as of the end of November 2012, total revenues reached US$249 million.
