GEORGE TOWN: There is a need for better infrastructure and amenities to cater to the surge in the number of cruise tourists here, such as pedestrian crossings, more rubbish bins and parking spaces, say tour groups.

Penang Tourist Guides Association (PTGA) president Clement Liang (pic) said the cruises brought business back to Penang and tourists liked to visit places such as Penang Hill and Kek Lok Si Temple.
