KUALA LUMPUR: The proposed Kulim International Airport (KXP) – that has stirred concern from the Penang government – has the support of the Tourism Ministry which intends to use it as a “tourist gateway”. Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister Datuk Mohamaddin Ketapi (pic) described the KXP as an important project because of its location near the border with Thailand.

“Many tourists enter the country from Thailand through Kedah as it is one of the gateways from the north,” he said after the announcement on the launch of the Malaysia Tourism City here yesterday.
