Pulau Langkawi (Langkawi Island) Tours
The
99 islands of Langkawi stand firm and majestic above the waters
of the Straits of Malacca, off the north-western shore of Peninsular
Malaysia. It is far enough from the mainland towns of Kuala
Perlis and Kuala Kedah. Kuah and Padang Matsirat are the bustling,
busy townships of the main island of Langkawi, whilst Pulau
Tuba is the only other inhabited island. The total population
is approximately 45,000 and made up of many races. Majority
is Malays, followed by Chinese, Indians and other races. The
original economy of Pulau Langkawi (Langkawi Island) was based on its agricultural and
fishing production.
Over the years, with encouragement from the Federal Government,
the island has now been transformed into one of the more exclusive
resort destination in Asia for leisure travellers and convention
organisers.
