Kemudahan asas dinaik taraf sempena TMK 2008
SUNGAI PETANI: Kerajaan Kedah sedang menaik taraf kemudahan asas di kawasan pelancongan di negeri ini sebagai persiapan menyambut Tahun Melawat Kedah (TMK) 2008.

Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Pelancongan, Belia dan Sukan negeri, Datuk Othman Aziz, berkata kerajaan negeri akan membelanjakan RM35 juta daripada keseluruhan RM69 juta dalam Rancangan Malaysia Kesembilan (RMK-9), bagi menaik taraf kemudahan sedia ada atau membina yang baru.

"Daripada jumlah itu, RM15 juta adalah untuk menaik taraf dan membina kemudahan baru di jeti Sungai Merbok, RM7 juta untuk membina Kampung Tradisi dekat Gunung Keriang serta memperelokkan laluan gua di gunung berkenaan.

"Sebanyak RM5 juta lagi untuk menaik taraf dataran warisan berhampiran masjid Zahir, Balai Besar, Balai Nobat dan Balai Seni di Alor Star serta mencantikkan laluan pejalan kaki di Pantai Cenang, Langkawi," katanya selepas merasmikan Misi Jualan Domestik Zon Utara 2007 anjuran Lembaga Penggalakan Pelancongan Kedah di sini, baru-baru ini.

Hadir sama, Pengarah Perkhidmatan Pelancongan di Kementerian Pelancongan, Idros Mohd dan Pengarah Pelancongan Kedah, Ammar Abd Ghapar.

Seramai 300 peserta terdiri daripada agensi pelancongan, perhotelan dan pengusaha produk pelancongan dari seluruh negara mengambil bahagian dalam program selama tiga hari itu.

Misi jualan domestik itu mendapat sambutan menggalakkan apabila 93 syarikat pelancongan seluruh negara menghantar wakil, selain 38 agensi pelancongan dari selatan Thailand.

Othman berkata, kerajaan menjangkakan lebih 3.7 juta pelancong akan mengunjungi Kedah sepanjang tempoh depan.

Beliau berkata, sambutan TMK 2008 yang juga serentak dengan perayaan 50 tahun pemerintahan Sultan Kedah, Sultan Abdul Halim Mu'adzam Shah akan menyerikan lagi kempen menarik pelancong asing dan tempatan itu ke negeri ini.

Katanya, Perbadanan Kemajuan Negeri Kedah (PKNK) juga giat menaik taraf chalet yang ada di Gunung Jerai bagi membolehkan lokasi itu dipromosi semula sebagai destinasi pelancongan menarik di negeri ini.

Sejak beberapa tahun lalu, potensi pelancongan tanah tinggi di Gunung Jerai suram apabila chalet di situ tidak diselenggara dengan baik.

Katanya, kerajaan setakat ini sudah merangka 50 acara besar dan 200 acara sampingan dalam kalendar pelancongan Kedah sempena TMK 2008 itu.

If you feel a bit adventurous, you can head on over to the Junjung waterfall which is a bit further from the town area. Over there, you can cool down by the pool or even have a family picnic. Its open to the public daily, but do beware of some slippery spots if you plan to climb up the waterfalls.

Getting there is easy. From Kulim town, ask for directions to the new police station building. You will see a traffic light right in front of the building.
