The idea of forming an Association for the Indian Travel Agents in Malaysia was coined in 1996. The initial brainstorming took place in Kovalam Beach at Trivandrum by a group of enthusiastic travel agents who came together at a Familiarisation Tour organised by Air Maldives to Trivandrum and Male.
The Association was then realised in 1997 and was registered officially as Malaysian Indian Tour and Travel Association (MITA). The first appointed President was the Late Mr. S. Subramaniam fondly known as CITY MANIAM, whereas the Deputy was Mr. A. Sevaguru. Mr. Sevaguru took over the Presidents role on the demise of Mr. Subramaniam on 11 Nov 1999.
Dato Thangavelu held the position of President from 2005 till 2023. During his term, we have changed the abbreviation from MITA to MITTA in alignment with our registered name Malaysian Indian Tour and Travel Association.
Dato Aruldas is the newly Elected President started his term since 2023.
