Malaysia Wants High-end Tourists for Cruises and Yachts

Malaysia has a Bid to woo tourists with cruises

Malaysia is focusing on developing cruise tourism and yachting to attract high-end tourists from the United States, Canada and Europe, said Tourism Minister Dr Leo Michael Toyad.

He said cruise liners plying the Caribbean and the Mediterranean would have a “new playground” in the South-East Asian region, with routes beginning in the Andaman Sea and stopovers in Phuket and Langkawi.

They would pass through the Straits of Malacca, Java and around Borneo Island before ending in Manila Bay.

Pirates? Terrorists? What pirates? What terrorists?

Other than that, pretty good idea.
