Restore Langkawi’s duty-free privileges to safeguard tourism growth


Filepic/The Star

MCA Tourism Bureau supports the call by the Langkawi Tourism Industry Players Association to restore Langkawi’s full duty-free status as it remains a cornerstone of the island’s tourism appeal and economic vitality.

Langkawi’s duty-free privileges are not merely a policy feature but also a strategic advantage that has, for decades, differentiated the island from other regional destinations.
