MELAKA: The state will get its
first cable car as well as a
theme park by the end of this
year, said its Chief Minister
Datuk Seri Idris Haron.
He said the project called
“Seven Mini Wonders” cost
RM46mil and the cable car
would run across the Marina
in Pulau Melaka to Klebang
here.
He said the 2.5km cable car
line was proposed to run
overhead at certain busy
locations overlooking the
Straits of Malacca.
“The project will complement
other new tourism products
that have also been planned
for this year,” he said after
chairing the weekly exco
meeting at Seri Negeri here.
“The theme park will be
strategically located and the
whole project aims to attract
even more tourists to the state,”
he said, adding that it would
help boost the state’s image as
a family-oriented holiday
destination.
Idris said the state’s objective
was to draw more tourists and
record higher arrivals in 2018
than last year.
“The state is looking at the
cable car and theme park
project as an economic driver
to lure more tourists.
“This will lead to economic
spillover in the state’s tourism
related industries such as
malls, hotels and resorts,”
he said.
