Kuala Lumpur: Langkawi escaped the worst of the pandemic and as a result, Malaysia plans to reopen tourism there in a pilot scheme. However, not everyone is aiming for a return of the masses in the tourism sector there.
Instead, the focus will be on ecotourism and the 550-million-year-old Machinchang Cambrian Geoforest Park.
A three-phase Langkawi Tourism Recovery Plan 2021-2022 – introduced by the Langkawi Development Authority (Lada) – focuses on quick wins to prepare and rebrand Langkawi as a Covid-19 free destination, concentrating on safety and sustainability.
