Langkawi poised to become one of the world’s top 10 eco-tourism hotspots
Langkawi stands as Malaysia’s only Global Geopark designated by UNESCO - comprising 99 islands that together make up the legendary Langkawi Archipelago. Rolling hills, beautiful coastal areas and charming traditional Malay villages co-exist harmoniously, as the island is on track to become a world-class destination for meetings, conventions and exhibitions.
Langkawi is a regular host of annual and biennial events, including the Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition, Le Tour de Langkawi and the FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour. With its strategic position between Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, a multilingual people, tropical weather and favorable exchange rate, Langkawi is a popular destination for events.
Top choice for many meeting and event planners is the Mahsuri International Exhibition Centre (MIEC), the island’s state-of-the-art venue conveniently situated adjacent to Langkawi International Airport.
The port in Kuah—the island's main town—is another entry point as Langkawi also boasts four marinas: the Royal Langkawi Yacht Club, Telaga Harbour, Rebak Island Marina and Resorts World Langkawi. These berths welcome ferries, yachts and cruise ships from Malaysia and Thailand.
