EVER since George Town was awarded World Heritage Site status, I believe there has been a marked surge in tourist arrivals not only from other states but also from Japan, South Korea, China and the Middle East.
This has benefitted Penang as a whole and the traders and hoteliers in particular. The tourists tend to stay around the heritage zone in George Town and Batu Ferringhi.
