KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia should negotiate with Disney Cruise Line to make Langkawi or Penang a departure and arrival hub for its Disney Adventure cruise ship, the Dewan Rakyat was told today.
Yeo Bee Yin (PH-Puchong) said Malaysia should aim to become more than just a port of call by allowing international tourists to begin or end their cruises at either destination.
"I don't think we should be content with merely being a port of call.
"I propose that the Tourism, Arts and Culture Ministry begin strategic negotiations with Disney Cruise Line to explore the possibility of making Langkawi or Penang an official embarkation and disembarkation port," she said when debating the 2027 Budget.
