In Terengganu, PAS mulls nod for cruise ships with gambling and booze in bid for tourism boost | Malay Mail

Wednesday, 13 Nov 2019 11:05 AM MYTTerengganu’s tourism, culture and information technology executive council chairman Ariffin Deraman said that the PAS state leaders have made their assessment and will approve cruises stopping in Terengganu for a period of six to eight hours. — Bernama pic

The state, which is the jump off point to popular island destinations like Pulau Redang and Perhentian, is also known for traditional Malay arts and culture like kite flying and top-spinning. “We have received word that there is no opposition for cruises to come. To use an analogy, if a traveller drives pass Terengganu and stops by a stall to buy some banana fritters while drinking a bottle of wine in his car, the sale is fine,” he said.

Ariffin said the state’s tourism target was 6.5 million inbound tourists annually from the year 2025 onwards — an increase of 35 per cent from 2018. He also said that the state has approved a European luxury hotel chain to open a high-end resort near Pulau Redang. No major announcement has been made, but he confirmed that the resort will attract high end tourists who are part of a “prestigious international club”.
