MALACCA: The Malacca government plans to build a gallery in Singapore to showcase tourism products aimed at attracting Singaporean tourists.
Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam said the state was looking for a suitable site and expected construction of the gallery to start in January or February.
“With the uncertain economic situation, I believe Singaporeans will choose to visit nearby destinations. Malacca wants to seize this opportunity,” he told reporters at the Istana Kampung Gelam Malay Heritage Centre in Singapore recently.
Mohd Ali, who was leading a tourism promotion delegation to Singapore, said that Malacca chose the republic to start the promotion as it was a major contributor of tourists.
Similar tourism promotions would be held in Thailand and Indonesia.
He was confident that Malacca’s new tourism product called Duck Tours, which had received a warm reception in Singapore, would be a big hit in Malacca as well.
“Duck Tours uses a mode of transportation that functions on air, land and water. It will be the first of its kind in Malaysia when it becomes operational in Malacca this month.
Malacca’s other new tourism products are Eye On Malaysia at the Malacca rivermouth and Menara Taming Sari in Bandar Hilir. – Bernama
