Rich
Legacy
 George
Town, the state capital of Penang, has one of the largest
collections of 19th, and early 20th century buildings in
Southeast Asia. It is a living historic city, with inner
city communities, places of worship, guilds, wet markets
and bazaars, traditional trades and retail shops, trishaw
peddlers and hawkers.
 Daily,
hundreds of tourists both local and foreign, visit this
vast preservation of treasures in George Town, in which
may be seen and enjoyed the story of Penang's man-made heritage.
As
the starting point of Penang's multicultural community,
the inner city of George Town has many houses of worship,
guilds, mosques, temples, clanhouses, district associations,
sanghams and lodges which are Penang's 'open museums' of
migration and cultural history. The many heritage tour guides
are only too happy to reveal to the visitor the beauty and
wonder, and the inspiration and spiritual meaning that lie
behind each building, each community and each culture. Click

Business
Avenue
MICE
is the acronym for meetings, incentives, conventions and
exhibitions, and represents a niche market that the local
travel trade is seeking to promote.
Penang
-- comprising Penang island, tucked in the north-western
coast of Peninsular Malaysia, and Seberang Perai, a thriving
industrial area -- famed
for its hawker delights, myriad culture, electrifying night
life, happenings and unique attractions, certainly fits
the bill as an ideal MICE destination. Click
