MELAKA: 
The construction of a cruise terminal in Pulau Melaka, Banda Hilir here, is poised to significantly enhance Melaka’s economy through increased tourism, says transport minister Loke Siew Fook.

He said the project is in line with the federal government’s focus on the maritime economy’s essential role in national development.

“Cruise tourism holds immense potential, especially as we (the government) are actively promoting this sector. We have major cruise ports, including Port Klang and Penang.

“We anticipate that the completion of this terminal (in Melaka) will significantly benefit the state’s economy and stimulate regional development,” Loke said following the launch of the Melaka International Maritime Economy Conference 2024 (Mimec 2024), which was officiated by chief minister Ab Rauf Yusoh here today.
