LANGKAWI TO CARRY OUT PROMOTION IN CAMBODIA, FINLAND, SINGAPORE

LANGKAWI (Kedah, Malaysia), Jan 17 (Bernama) -- The Langkawi Development
Authority (Lada) will carry out three simultaneous tourism promotions to
Cambodia, Finland and Singapore this week, its tourism manager Megat Shaharul
Azman Abas said.

The events will take place at the Asean Tourism Forum in Cambodia on Jan 19-23,
Matka Finland on Jan 21-23 and Singapore on Jan 21-23.

"Lada hopes that the promotions would further increase tourist arrivals to the
island," he told Bernama.

The promotions would be carried out in collaboration with Tourism Malaysia and
participated by hotels as well as tour and travel operators, he said.

On the promotion in Finland, he said there had been an increase in the number of
tourists from the Scandinavian and Baltic countries due to the availability of
charter flights.

He said that Finnish airlines mounted 14 flights a week from last month to March
from Helsinki, carrying over 200 passengers each from Finland as well as from
Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Estonia and Latvia.

Lada targets 2.5 million tourist arrivals this year. Langkawi – an
archipelago made up of 99 islands on Malaysia’s west coast – is the country’s
best-known holiday destination.
