According to Yeoh, concerts such as this can help the tourism industry by bringing in visitors from out of the city to come and witness local or international performances or artistes.

 

“This can lead to increased hotel bookings, restaurant reservations, and other tourism-related activities.

 

“Besides, concerts can also attract people to a particular area and lead to an increase in the local economy.

 

“Furthermore, hosting concerts in our state can also create a sense of community and cultural pride, which can attract more visitors to Penang.

“After all, Penang is a popular cultural hub and has a vibrant arts scene, making us an attractive place for international musicians and performers to tour,” he added.

 

Yeoh added that the Indian market has always been a key focus area for the state government.

 

“We have always been embarking on various promotional trips to India with the aim to reconnect and revive the tourism and business events industry in Penang and India.

 

“Due to the fact that there is always a demand for direct flights between major cities in India and Penang, I have been trying to expand our outreach and connectivity with them.

 

“We have done several roadshows in India to exchange ideas, network and share the success of business events and the tourism industry in Penang. That is also to entice more investors into our state.

 

“We know that this concert has been highly anticipated by music fans all over, and we can assure you that it will be a night to remember.
