Malaysia plans to boost cruise sector

Hasan Malek, Malaysia’s minister for domestic trade, cooperatives & consumerism, told a conference recently that that in order reach its target of 36 million tourist arrivals and MYR168 billion (US$52.4bn) in tourism revenues by 2020, Malaysia needs to attract higher yield and luxury tourists, which brings the cruise market into the frame....
..The Southeast Asian country is well positioned to tap this sector, having extensive coastlines along the east and west of Peninsular Malaysia as well as Sabah and Sarawak. Its rivers and lakes are also navigable.
A number of cruise ships currently sail in Malaysian waters, stopping at ports including Penang, Langkawi, Kota Kinabalu and Port Klang, the gateway to KL. But Hasan suggested this was not enough.
“We have six cruise ports namely Langkawi, Penang, Port Klang, Kuantan, Kota Kinabalu and Kuching with customs, immigration and quarantine complex[es], but none could cater for larger cruise ships that could bring in thousands of tourists,” he said.
This year, Malaysia plans to welcome 28m international tourists and generated MYR76bn in revenues. But only a tiny fraction of this will be generated by cruise visitors.  .. more > Malaysia plans to boost cruise sector

Their time in the sun - TTG Asia - Leader in Hotel, Airlines, Tourism and Travel Trade News

 Hence, LADA is revising its 2015 target to four million arrivals, he
said. However, tourism receipts are still below its aim of RM3.8 billion
(US$1.2 billion), so this will be a critical year to reach it, he
added.



“We need to look at high net worth tourists because (this segment) will give higher revenues with smaller numbers.



“We don’t want amusement parks in Langkawi…We are focusing on iconic projects, not mega developments,” he said.



In line with this, Langkawi’s hotel pipeline comprises several luxury
hotels, including St Regis and Ritz-Carlton, which will boost the
destination’s room supply from the current 9,000 to 15,000 by 2017.



In addition, a host of new tourism products are opening.



Property and leisure group Tradewinds Corp is also reportedly investing
some RM4 billion to develop Perdana Quay in Langkawi’s Pantai Kok-Teluk
Burau area on the northwest of the island. This will be the first
integrated leisure, retail, residential and commercial development on
the island, and it targets the luxury segment.

Sky Bridge closure has not affected Langkawi tourism - Nazri Aziz


KUALA LUMPUR: Pulau Langkawi has not experienced a drop in tourism despite the closure of its world-famous Langkawi Sky Bridge.
Tourism and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz said tourists are still able to enjoy the view as the cable car, also known as the Sky Cab, is still in operation.
"Last year I was told the company (Panorama Langkawi Sdn Bhd) made a profit and was able to give dividends to the state government, so there is no drop (in tourists)," said Nazri in a press conference after launching the Kelantan Red Warriors football team's new jersey for the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Cup Sunday.

 NOTE: The SkyBridge is currently closed until further notice
Nazri said the safety of the tourists visiting the bridge - dubbed as the world's scariest suspension bridge, which hangs 700m above sea-level - was the priority.
"Can you imagine the impact if we allow the bridge to be used? If anything happens, that will cause a negative (impact) on Malaysian tourism.
"The Ministry was informed by the engineers that it was too risky. We had a choice of keeping the bridge open and risking the lives of tourists or closing it. I rather we closed it," he said.

The Star reported the Sky Bridge has been closed for almost 20 months due to a delay in getting funds and foreign consultants to conduct maintenance work.
The bridge, part of an RM80mil cable car project, is only due to re-open late this year. It has been closed since July 2012.... more
