With only domestic travel the only option for now, why not take a trip to Penang where there are already seven world wonders await. 

Rest assured these top attractions are on par with any other world class destinations.

State Exco for Tourism, Arts, Culture and Heritage, Yeoh Soon Hin recently highlighted these attractions as the World’s Steepest Tunnel Track (Penang Hill), World’s Highest Altitude Stressed Ribbon Bridge (The Habitat), World’s Longest Water Slide awarded by Guinness World Record (Escape), World’s First Butterfly and Insect Sanctuary (Entopia), World’s First Tower Curved Skywalk (The Top), World’s Highest Ropes Course Challenge (The Gravityz) as well as the World’s First Free Standing Vertical Drop Slide (TechDome).

Yeoh was commenting during the Malaysian Chinese Tourism Association Travel Agents Business-to Business Session held here recently.

“Penang is a multi-faceted travel destination with various unexplored sides to Penang such as Balik Pulau and Seberang Perai.

“Due to the pandemic, we are only able to travel domestically. However, we can turn this into an opportunity to position Penang as one of the country’s top domestic destinations,” said Yeoh.

Yeoh said Penang Global Tourism has also recently launched “JOM! Experience Penang” campaign to stimulate Penang’s economy. The public may book travel packages and deals on penangtraveldeals.com.

Malaysian Chinese Tourism Association (MCTA) Penang chapter chairman Andy Chuah added that the association is working closely with several destinations within the state to bring in revenue worth 2.5mil to various sectors through the “JOM! Experience Penang” campaign.

Also present were Dato Albert Tan, President of Malaysian Chinese Tourism Association (MCTA) and Ooi Chok Yan, Chief Executive Officer of Penang Global Tourism.
