TOURISM MELAKA SENDS 26 PERSONS TO MELAKA

18th. September 2010

Tourism Melaka was contracted to send 26 persons for a family outing by a private company based in Kuala Lumpur to Melaka for a day.

The company found out about this day tour service offered by Tourism Melaka on-line and we organised the day trip for their personnel.

The group of 26 gathered in front of the Malaysian Tourism Center at Jalan Ampang to board the double decker airconditioned bus to Melaka. They left at about 9.30 am to Melaka.

Besides organising day tours to Melaka for groups, we also cater for individuals who sign up for this unique Day tour to Melaka from Kuala Lumpur. Interested parties can log onto our website at www.tourism-melaka.com and sign into the day tour form on-line. Once down, we will do the booking and once confirmed, we will inform you via email.

IMPROVEMENTS NEEDED TO SPRUCE UP MELAKA ESPLANADE

Notice the different levels of the walkway and the drain?

Some months back, Malaccans finally had their esplanade back after a decade or so. Malaccans and visitors can now enjoy the evening breeze along the Melaka Straits and see the sun set.

However, some improvements must be made to make the place more palatable to visitors. The walkway is covered with tar and narrow. The space near the sea is not well done and there is a drain separating the walkway and the sandy space.

Is it possible to have some concrete benches along the esplanade for elderly to sit and enjoy the sea breeze and sun set? Some companies will gladly donate these concrete benches. Also, more sand must be placed onto the space so that it is more even.

At the same time, the space behind the esplanade should be converted into a padang where soccer, rugby, hockey and cricket can be played.

The Melaka Historical City Council should initiate these worthwhile developments for Melaka citizens and visitors alike.
