The meeting will take place at Avillion Admiral Cove Hotel, 5½ Mile, Jalan Pantai, 71050 Port Dickson, Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia. Avillion Admiral Cove is a renowned marina-front resort located along Jalan Pantai, overlooking the tranquil waters of the Strait of Malacca. Set within a 100-acre integrated marina development and adjacent to the Admiral Marina & Leisure Club, it is widely recognized as one of Malaysia’s premier marine tourism destinations.

Port Dickson, located in Negeri Sembilan, is one of Malaysia’s most popular coastal resort towns, renowned for its sandy beaches along the Strait of Malacca. Situated about 90 km south of Kuala Lumpur and easily accessible via major highways, Port Dickson is well connected to the Klang Valley and neighboring states. The town is home to a growing population spread across its seaside communities, with tourism forming the backbone of its economy. The nearest international gateway is Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA), located approximately 58 km away (around an hour’s drive), making Port Dickson a convenient seaside destination for both domestic and international visitors.

Ideally travel should be arranged to arrive in Kuala Lumpur International Airport (airport code KUL). Picking up will be arranged upon your arrival at airport, our colleague will meet you at exit of airport with sign of IVM 2025.

Participants from most countries (ASEAN) will not require a visa to enter Malaysia. MOH strongly recommends that you inquire within your closest Malaysian Embassy for any updated visa information and requirements.

• Please note you do not need to contact the hotel to arrange your accommodation. IVM 2025 Secretariat will make your room booking directly with the hotel based on the flight details provided.
