Tourists arrivals on the rise in Penang

[@jumbo2254]

Penang should enhance their public transport, and limit the vehicle usage in the city. Otherwise with that small island area with a lot of car coming in, it is now become ridiculously congested with traffic jams

[@defgabc07]

Nak jadikan tempat tumpuan pelancong itu lebih menarik jangan bagi kereta atau motor masuk pada waktu malam.

[@mr.kacanghijau]

If they want to increase foot traffic in that area, then they must ban car and motorcycle entry in that area make it pedestrian friendly area. The only vehicle that are allowed would be emergency vehicle, public transport, and delivery vehicle like a van or small lorry.

Penang island its most beautiful place in Malaysia. Batu feringhi and bukit Bendera. Beautiful temples. Vegetarian foods. Clean 👏

[@markzzzzberg1312]

Islands in Sabah, Johor, Pahang and Terengganu are laughing at your comment

[@leealex24]

Problem in Penang not so easy to move around, LRT will help but too bad gonna take long time

[@faridmdkhalid]

Lol😂...too subjective... Many other places in Sabah, Terengganu, Pahang and Johor are very scenic...food-wise ? Also very2 subjective...

[@animahussin]

@@markzzzzberg1312 but few tourists come there..

[@genelee5552]

Bohong la😂😂

[@rahimmajid647]

You just gotta love the comment section here... They complain when there are no tourist. And they also complain when there are tourists. 😅

[@brandonwoo8299]

Yeah.. Malaysian king of complaints and great at doing nothing.

[@jcangie5667]

Type apa pulak jenis complain ni? Or just call them typo!

[@ahmadmad2k]

we need the right amount of tourists, no tourist is bad and too many also bad

[@rahimmajid647]

@@ahmadmad2k Ideally, what you're saying is good. But that however is something beyond our control. Well... unless you want the government to make every tourist apply for visa in advance and start rejecting after a quota is reached. And if the government does that, you will guarantee having no tourists coming to Malaysia, which is then also bad. The truth is that if we want tourists to visit Malaysia, we gotta accept the good and the bad side of tourism.

[@nuts1755]

I hope they make penang pedestrian friendly area! Tourists love to walk around

[@MDroid-bn6eb]

If no tourists, you all willing to pay RM8 for charkuaytiao and RM20 for nasi kandar? If no, then duduk diam diam one corner and don’t criticise others because business is booming again after covid. We should be thankful tourists are choosing to spend their money in Penang.

[@sheenoreiki7843]

Penangnites already paying this kind of price. Average CKT around rm7 + egg, nasi kandar wise you pick seafood easily exceeds rm20, even for chicken+egg+vege is around rm9 without a drink yet

[@HAMIDIRAMLI-sc6jd]

Should implement the no car day, it is a success in MALACCA.

[@MrAndre.]

Penang should improve the streets. Penang street should be safely walkable, comfortable and attractive. Other cities in other South East Asians have improved their streets in the cities. No improvement in Penang, tourists are no longer interested. Road along Batu Ferrenggi should be also fully pedestrianised with zebra cross walks at all junctions and traffic lights.

[@anitav4662]

Yes tourists, please come..... just don't bring your vehicles, esp. cars and big tourist buses!

[@matduyeh9958]

How about bintulu? Anybody doing something?

What's there in penang?

[@Jason-sf8vx]

Penang should change strategy to attract more tourist from this region namely Singapore , HK , Australia etc.

[@MM-tj3ko]

All Southeast Asian countries tourism sector is not back to pre-pandemic levels, including Thailand. I wonder also if the tourists themselves are doing well economically in their home countries

[@sheenoreiki7843]

Thanks for increasing inflation ffs 🙄

[@joshwai]

Lucky tourist.. it is not a Pas states, you can still enjoy night life.

[@OhnanaWhatsmyname-dh8wc]

Lol why do you have to mention PAS..they live rent free in your mind 😂

[@simont8249]

Who said no night life in Pas states. People enjoy making baby in Pas states

[@shingodzilla7564]

Stop thinking about pas all day.. you wife will be jealous of it.

nampaknya byk arak dijual berleluasa utk menarik minat pelancong luar negeri...ada cara lain kot nak tarik pelancong..

[@mrblurblur2003]

Beer too expensive, tax should be reduced to bring in tourists to enjoy our Tiger Beer, Or Kow, Heineken beer, Carlsborg.

[@soonang4191]

Tourists are not drinking due to the expensive beers.

[@t0kn3k]

Lack of promotion by tuorism Malaysia agency.....

[@changchunkit3883]

Tourist spending is a great source of money source for the local industry, it is consistent with the local wanton environment

[@sheenoreiki7843]

true, if we want progress we would aim to go for STEM industries instead

[@mistortobey1609]

Govt failed to promote nor develop country. Tourist no longer interested to visit Malaysia.

[@heatonxp]

Ridiculous laws? Selling alcohol??? what benefits come feom drunkard???

[@manalittlesis]

It is ridiculous law on what the person mentioned. I'm very sure you know nothing about what the person is saying. And your question, "what benefits come from drunkard?" Is like what benefits Malaysia gets from you? It's the same.

[@heatonxp]

@@manalittlesis just asking...coz we know they cant even differentiate man and woman ...maybe bcoz of alcohol ???

[@laloola]

You sponsor people live hood?? Thinga arw getting more expensive and like tou have subsidies to live on.

[@wanoomar2661]

Terengganu much more beautiful and better

[@rahimmajid647]

Terengganu has different beauty and Penang has different beauty. Doesn't mean one state is better than the other. It just means they're different.

[@irishque]

ALOHA!

[@BorneoHeadHunter666]

But Terengganu has way less tourists coming in per yer. One of the lowest in Malaysia after Kelantan.

[@rahimmajid647]

@@BorneoHeadHunter666 Putting state government issue aside, Terengganu has a logistical and weather obstacle when it comes to tourism. Penang is basically open for visitors all year. Terengganu, along with the other East Coast states, is pretty much only ideal for tourism for about 6 to 7 months in a year. You know... Monsoon season is not that great for tourism over there, is it? So, naturally there will be fewer tourists a year visiting Terengganu. But you do have to admit when it's not the monsoon season, the beaches on the East Coast is f...king amazing when compared to Penang, Langkawi or any other beaches in the West Coast.
