"We hope the existence of a new platform, namely the Kedah-Satun Joint Cooperation Committee, since early this year to organise various tourism programmes could bring in more tourists to Langkawi Island and the main land of Kedah through the Satun-Langkawi gateway." Manikar was speaking at the launching of the Satun-Langkawi Paramotor Challenge 2010, here Friday.
There are 22 participants from Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore in the Satun-Langkawi Paramotor Challenge 2010 which started today in Satun.
Among the exciting events involving the participants are the Paramotor Show, Flour Bombing Competition, Sport Landing Competition and Flying Show before flying in their paramotor over a distance of 15 kilometres. Manikumar said the event was initiated through the Kedah-Satun Joint Cooperation Committee.
He added that the state government would consider making the Satun-Langkawi Paramotor Challenge an annual event to boost tourism in Kedah.
