Ammar Roslizar

ARBA Travel & Tours Sdn Bhd

Ammar Roslizar founded his company, ARBA Travel & Tours Sdn Bhd, as a result of his love and passion for travelling. After spending seven years abroad, he realised there was a gap in the Malaysia travel industry in terms of customer experience. Determined to change this, Ammar and his partners decided to leverage technology and also tailormake their travel packages to set themselves apart.

ARBA Travel is a global halal travel company specialising in halal tourism. Since its establishment in 2014, the company has managed to double its growth every year, surpassing the average growth rate of Malaysia’s Top 100 SMEs.

ARBA Travel is the fastest company to be awarded the Enterprise50 Award (2017) by the SME Corporation of Malaysia at just three years. Ammar is also among the winners of Forbes 30 Under 30 (2018). On its way to becoming an international travel company, ARBA Travel has strategically acquired tour operator companies in Seoul, South Korea and Sabah as new subsidiaries and is enroute to opening up an office in Istanbul, Turkey later this year. As part of the company’s pledge to give back, ARBA Travel established the ARBA Waqf (L) Foundation with ARBA philanthropic models that include the ‘Triangle Model’, Waqaf 1%, and Impact-oriented Philanthropy as the main pillars.
