Penang once again receives international recognition as National Geographic Music features the vibrant island and its upcoming world music festival. On 6 March, National Geographic promoted the Plenitude Penang World Music Festival in its website together with a brief history of Penang and an introduction to George Town, a UNESCO World Heritage City.
Alongside New York Times’ article – “36 Hours: Penang”, Yahoo! Travel’s mention of Penang in “10 Islands To Explore Before You Die” and other recognitions by CNN and Lonely Planet, Penang is gaining much international attention, and with so much to offer in terms of history, heritage, culture and food, Penang is certainly making its way to be one of the top destinations in the world.
The Plenitude World Music Festival is happening from 30 March to 1 April at the Penang Botanic Gardens featuring 20 bands from all over the world, as far as Russia, Guinea, Mongolia, Vanuatu, Columbia and more. There will also be preview shows on 28 March at Hard Rock Hotel and 29 March at Straits Quay. Tickets can be purchased online at www.ticketxpress.com.my, or at the Penang Tourism Office at Level 53 KOMTAR, Tourist Information Centre at Beach Street, Switch Outlets (http://switch.com.my/), Penang Botanic Gardens, Hard Rock Hotel Penang, Queensbay Mall, Discovery Overland Holidays and more.
