As such, they traded down to travel accommodation with lower prices or travelling with transportation at a cheaper cost, flying with low cost carriers such as Airasia to save on spending. Thus, the switch led to slower growth in certain categories, such as travel accommodation. On the contrary, economic factors led to higher growth in categories such as transportation, mainly boosted by the rising use of low cost carriers. Missing flight MH370 causes uncertainties in travel and tourism On 8 March 2014, a Boeing 777-200ER flight operated by Malaysia Airlines went missing from the radar screen after less than an hour after departing from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) on a route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. A multinational search effort was later carried out in the Gulf of Thailand and the South China Sea, extended to the Strait of Malacca and Andaman Sea. The mysterious disappearance of MH370 continued to confound search crews over its whereabouts, which in turn led to insecurity about travelling by air amongst most of the public. Such event has caused uncertainties in Malaysia travel and tourism Growing number of online distribution channels identified Malaysia was ranked second in the world for its broadband penetration ranking by having its rate exceed 67% in 2013. Malaysia surpassed ASEAN countries such as Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines and Indonesia in terms of broadband penetration due to constantly upgraded infrastructures network in the country. Therefore, the online distribution channel is becoming rapidly tapped into by many players in travel and tourism, eyeing the potential group of the customer base which can be connected through the internet.

Malaysians who gradually show positive gratitude towards online shopping also tend to boasts demand in online sales.
