LANGKAWI: A total of 132 events have been listed in the
Langkawi Events Calendar 2025 to enhance the island's tourism sector in
conjunction with Visit Kedah Year 2025 (VK2025).
Langkawi Development Authority (LADA) chief executive officer
Datuk Haslina Abdul Hamid said the events involve collaborations with
government agencies, private entities, and non-governmental organisations.
She said six main clusters will be the focus this year,
highlighting the arts, culture, sports, promotions, community, and geoparks
that are unique to Langkawi's identity.
"The Asean Summit 2025, including the Asean Foreign
Ministers' Retreat from Jan 18 to 19, is a key event to kickstart Langkawi's
tourism calendar this year.
"This will be followed by the Royal Langkawi
International Regatta (RLIR) 2025, running from Jan 20 to 25," she said
during yesterday's Langkawi Events Calendar 2025 launch and New Year's Eve
celebration.
She said that out of the 132 planned events, 36 are dedicated
to sports and culture, 17 to international promotions, ten to domestic
promotions, and 26 to community programmes.
"In addition, there are 24 investment mission programmes
and 19 geopark events, all aimed at achieving the target of 3.5 million tourist
arrivals by year-end," she said.
Meanwhile, Langkawi district officer Mohamad Subhi Abdullah
expressed confidence that the VK2025 campaign would successfully attract 3.5
million domestic and international visitors to the island.
"Our target is to welcome 3.5 million tourists to
Langkawi this year, contributing to the state government's goal of seven
million visitors to Kedah during VK2025," he said.

BUKIT KAYU HITAM: Kedah optimis untuk menarik kedatangan enam
juta pelancong ke negeri ini dengan menyediakan lebih 150 acara sempena Tahun
Melawat Kedah (TMK) 2025.
Menteri Besar, Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor, berkata
pelancong Thailand dilihat mampu menjadi penyumbang terbesar berikutan
kedudukan negara itu yang berhampiran dengan Kedah.
Justeru katanya, kerajaan negeri akan mengadakan kerjasama
dengan pihak berkuasa di wilayah selatan Thailand dalam pelbagai bidang
khususnya pelancongan.
"Insya-Allah, selepas ini kita akan tingkatkan lagi
program usaha sama khususnya dalam sektor industri makanan halal dan kita harap
industri pelancongan dapat digiatkan lagi antara dua negara ini.
"Pelancongan kini merupakan antara sektor yang paling
pesat berkembang, dan kita harap ini akan memperkukuhkan lagi hubungan antara
kedua-dua negara.
"Baru-baru ini juga, Gabenor Songkhla melawat Kedah dan
kita merancang untuk membalas kunjungan itu bagi membincangkan langkah
memajukan sektor pelancongan antara wilayah selatan Thailand dan utara
Semenanjung," katanya.
Beliau berkata demikian ketika ditemui selepas majlis sambutan
ketibaan pelancong sempena TMK 2025 di Kompleks Imigresen, Kastam, Kuarantin
dan Keselamatan (ICQS) Bukit Kayu Hitam di sini, hari ini.
Selain itu, Muhammad Sanusi berkata pihaknya juga dengan
Tourism Malaysia mengeluarkan risalah atau senarai tempat menarik untuk
dilawati di Kedah dan diedarkan kepada pemain industri pelancongan di seluruh
negara.
"Kita juga buat kerjasama dengan Tourism Malaysia untuk
mengadakan promosi di luar negara, saya harap 2025 ini akan menjadi titik mula
kepada kebanjiran pelancong untuk datang ke Kedah sama ada pelancong domestik
atau pelancong antarabangsa," katanya.
IPOH: Perak attracted 8.4 million tourists throughout last
year, surpassing the state government's target of 8.35 million in conjunction
with Visit Perak Year 2024.
Perak Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Saarani Mohamad said that,
according to Tourism Malaysia data up to September last year, 627,292
international tourists had visited the state.
He said the figure represents a 135 per cent increase in
tourists compared to the Visit Perak Year 2017 campaign.
Saarani said this achievement reflects the right direction of
all efforts to promote Perak as a tourist destination.
"Ipoh and Pangkor Island continue to be the main
attractions, but what caught our attention is the extraordinary success
achieved by the Larut, Matang, and Selama districts.
"This district recorded 1,050,144 visitors, making it the
third-highest district in Perak regarding tourist arrivals.
"This increase proves that the tourism sector not only
benefits urban areas but also brings economic opportunities to rural and
suburban areas rich in uniqueness and heritage," he said in his speech at
the Finale of Visit Perak Year 2024 held at Sultan Azlan Shah Roundabout here,
last night.
Saarani said this success would not have been possible without
the efforts and cooperation of various parties, including government agencies,
particularly Tourism Perak, industry players, and the people.
"You have all indirectly become tourism ambassadors for
the state.
"Every social media post, every photo shared, and every
positive experience you spread helps introduce Perak to the world," he
said.
Saarani also launched the logo for the "Coffee Trails of
Perak" package.
Also present was the state Tourism, Industry, Investment, and
Corridor Development committee chairman Loh Sze Yee.
The event, held in conjunction with the New Year's Eve
celebration, was enlivened by cultural dance performances featuring various
ethnic groups and highlighted performances by renowned singers Tomok and Ramlah
Ram.
Saarani, along with more than 35,000 visitors, counted down to
midnight, marked by a fireworks display to welcome the New Year 2025.
MELAKA: Tahun Melawat Melaka 2024 (TMM2024) berjaya merekodkan kehadiran 15 juta pelancong, menepati sasaran ditetapkan kerajaan negeri.
Serentak itu, Melaka turut berjaya menjana hasil keseluruhan RM12.68 bilion menerusi pelbagai aktiviti pelancongan sepanjang penganjuran TMM2024 sejak Januari tahun lalu.
Berikutan kejayaan berkenaan, Ketua Menteri, Datuk Seri Ab
Rauf Yusoh, berkata TMM akan diteruskan sehingga 2026 sejajar dengan Tahun
Melawat Malaysia yang bakal dianjurkan tahun depan.
Beliau berterima kasih dan menghargai kerjasama serta komitmen
semua jabatan, agensi, badan bukan kerajaan (NGO), pengamal media serta semua
pihak yang menyumbang tenaga menjayakan TMM2024.
"Usaha ini selaras dengan pemilihan Melaka sebagai tuan
rumah Hari Pelancongan Sedunia (WTD) dan Persidangan Pelancongan Sedunia (WTC)
2025, disusuli Tahun Melawat Malaysia 2026 (VM2026)," katanya pada majlis
perasmian Ambang Tahun Baharu 2025 dan pelancaran WTD 2025 di Banda Hilir, di
sini malam tadi.
Perasmian disempurnakan oleh Yang di-Pertua Negeri, Tun Dr
Mohd Ali Mohd Rustam dan turut dihadiri EXCO Kanan Perumahan, Kerajaan
Tempatan, Saliran, Perubahan Iklim dan Pengurusan Bencana Melaka, Datuk Rais
Yasin serta EXCO Pelancongan, Warisan, Seni dan Budaya negeri, Datuk Abd Razak
Abd Rahman.

Semasa, Rangkaian Televisyen Media Prima, Azhari Muhidin.
Lebih 50,000 pengunjung membanjiri Banda Hilir bagi
memeriahkan sambutan itu yang diakhiri dengan pertunjukan bunga api.
Ab Rauf berkata, kerajaan negeri juga berterima kasih kepada
Kementerian Pelancongan, Seni dan Budaya (MOTAC) atas kepercayaan kepada Melaka
sebagai tuan rumah sempena WTD dan WTC 2025 pada September depan.
"Kalau dahulu, kita bergiat aktif mempromosikan Melaka
sehingga ke luar negara, sekarang sebagai kota pelancongan terhebat, kita
membawa dunia ke Melaka pula," katanya.
Melaka dipilih sebagai tuan rumah WTD dan WTC 2025 mewakili
Malaysia selepas Pertubuhan Pelancongan Sedunia (UNWTO) tahun lalu sepakat
memilih Malaysia sebagai lokasi penganjuran program berprestij itu tahun ini.
Acara berkenaan yang dijadual berlangsung pada 27 September
depan bertemakan 'Tourism and Sustainable Transformation'.
