Art tourism to boost Malaysia


KUALA LUMPUR: Tourism Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ng Yen Yen has gone another step to aggressively put Malaysia on the map by promoting “art tourism”.

“We are positioning Malay­sian art as a tourism product. We encourage tourists to visit the country not only because of food, beaches or shopping but admire homegrown art pieces,” said Ng during an exclusive interview with BBC World News’ Fast:Track host Fiona Foster at the 1Malaysia Contem­porary Art Tourism 2010 (MCAT 2010) held at Galeri Seri Perdana here yesterday. .
