It has been nearly a month since the Langkawi travel bubble kicked off on Sept 16, and it seems like the programme has been a success.

Langkawi Development Authority (LADA) chief executive officer Nasaruddin Abdul Muttalib said in a report that up to Sept 30, tourist arrivals under the programme generated RM15.97mil in revenue for Langkawi.
