KUALA LUMPUR: Transit passengers at Kuala Lumpur International airport (KLIA) will be offered a short city tour.
Those who are in transit for at least four hours will be able to enjoy a ride on the high-speed KLIA express train to KL Sentral followed by the tour.
There is also a special package to Menara KL (KL Tower), which includes a guided tour, nature walks and meals.
Tourism Malaysia director-general Datuk Mirza Mohammad Taiyab described the programme as a positive way of getting visitors in transit to experience the sights and sounds of Kuala Lumpur.
“Getting visitors in transit to sample a small part of what the city has to offer promises great returns, as I am confident tourists will want to return for more,” he said at the launching of Discover Kuala Lumpur.
Malaysia Airports Holding Berhad senior general manager (operations) Datuk Azmi Murad said the service would be tapping a new market segment and further enhance the facilities offered at KLIA.
