KUWAIT CITY: A new tourism product is being created in Malaysia, catering exclusively to Arab women, Tourism Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ng Yen Yen said. Dr Ng, who earlier met leading tour operators here, mooted the idea after receiving feedback that well-heeled Kuwaiti women frequently made trip overseas for excursions. “We have tagged this new package as Ladies Tour where these tourists can look forward to a magnificent holiday in Malaysia,” Dr Ng said.
She was speaking at a Malaysian Gala Dinner which was attended by several prominent Kuwaitis, local tour operators and Malaysian hoteliers at a hotel here on Sunday night. Dr Ng said based on feedback, Kuwaiti women have a tendency of spending heavily on beauty products and grooming. She said that the package would be designed to attract women who were now flocking to London and Paris for the same reason. Dr Ng described her two-day tour here as a very successful trip and was optimistic that tourist arrivals from Kuwait would increase significantly. Dr Ng said Malaysia received 22,200 Kuwaiti tourists in 2009. Her ministry has set a target of 25,000 for this year.
