Elaborating further, Mohd Yusof said that one of the strategies to attract visitors includes group packages.

“For example, visitors who purchase bundled tickets may enjoy both the Melaka River Cruise (MRC) and programs held at Panggung Bangsawan.

“MCORP will also be looking for sponsors to support the operations of Panggung Bangsawan to ensure the success of various planned programs throughout the year,” he added.
