putrajaya: Malacca can look forward to more tourists from China from next month, says Transport Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai.
Liow said the Melaka International Airport in Batu Berendam would receive the first direct flight from Guangzhou on Sept 29.
Malacca, he told reporters here yesterday, was also poised for more economic cooperation with China.
“Investments of billions of ringgit from China have flowed into Malaysia,” he said, citing US$10bil (RM40bil) in the Malacca Gateway project.
A deep seaport and ocean park, he said, would be built in the Malacca Gateway project as part of the “One Belt, One Road” initiative.
The project, set to become the largest private marina in South-East Asia, is scheduled for completion in 2025.
