MELAKA: About 50 luxury cruise ships with an estimated 25,000 foreign tourists are expected to make a stopover in Melaka during the Visit Melaka Year 2024 (TMM 2024).
State Tourism, Heritage, Art and Culture Committee chairman, Datuk Abdul Razak Abdul Rahman, said the state government, through the Tourism Promotion Division (BPP), will work with tour agencies and luxury cruise companies to offer various attractive travel packages to tourists.
"We also want to ensure that tourists who board luxury cruise ships can stay overnight in Melaka, whereas now they just stop over for a few hours to visit the state's tourism destinations and attractions.
"Many programmes have been lined up, and special and attractive packages will also be offered to tourists visiting Melaka," he told reporters at the Customs, Immigration and Quarantine (CIQ) Complex at the Melaka-Dumai International Ferry Terminal .
He said this after welcoming the MS Amadea cruise ship with 390 tourists, mostly from Germany, which made a stopover at the ICQS from Singapore at 8.45am this morning.
