MELAKA: The oldest dragon boat race in the state, which was first organised in 1983, will be turned into a significant event for Visit Melaka Year 2024 (TMM 2024) in a bid to lure international participants and boost the tourist arrival figures, says Datuk Abdul Razak Abdul Rahman.

The state tourism, heritage, art and culture committee chairman said the race was an event that would take advantage of the state’s position as top tourist destination through sports.
