Sg Linggi poised for ecotourism spotlight
MELAKA: Sungai Linggi is set to become a key ecotourism destination aimed at stimulating economic growth in rural areas, says Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh. The Melaka Chief Minister said the Sungai Linggi Eco Cruise is expected to be launched on Sept 1 and will be promoted as a fresh tourism product for the state. 'This is a brand new package – one on a classically themed boat – offering a river journey and showcasing Sungai Linggi's natural beauty,' he said after launching the state government's monthly assembly at the Melaka International Trade Centre in Ayer Keroh here yesterday. The event is organised by the Melaka River and Beach Development Corporation (PPSPM). Ab Rauf said PPSPM will also be rolling out other new tourism products. He said the Melaka sea cruise, featuring island-hopping and snorkelling packages, as well as a premium cruise experience, are among the latest attractions. 'Additionally, two more products under PPSPM will soon be introduced in Jasin, namely the Sungai Rambai Eco Cruise and a boat service at Tasik Chinchin. 'These packages are designed to highlight the scenic charm of Melaka's rivers and lakes,' he said. Commenting further about the Sungai Linggi Eco Cruise, Ab Rauf said visitors can look forward to an hour's river cruise from the mouth of Sungai Linggi to the Telok Berembang jetty, with meal packages also available. 'This new attraction will offer a relaxing cruise experience complemented by dining options for visitors,' he added.
