KUALA LUMPUR- The Penang State Tourism’s efforts to spur its tourism industry continues in Kuala Lumpur, as it launches JOM! Experience Penang campaign at the Pullman Hotel, KL City Centre yesterday.

He said as the interstate travel is allowed, Penang State Government have come up with “JOM! Experience Penang”, a domestic campaign as part of EPY 2020 campaign to spur Penang’s travel industry.

“The campaign is focused on attracting domestic travellers to Penang with value-for-money promotions, namely Best Hotel Deals, Best Attraction Deals, Best Tour Packages and Thank You Frontliners, all of which are available on the campaign’s website – penangtraveldeals.com. “

“These promotions offer visitors different experiences and substantial savings on accommodations, attractions, and tours.

“I urge Malaysians to skip the jet lag and travel locally. Come discover a nearby world-renowned tourist destination this Merdeka holiday — Penang is just a flight or a road trip away.”
