Revitalizing Kuala Muda as a tourism catalyst for Seberang Perai Utara
​
Penang, a developing state in Malaysia, has witnessed significant growth in industry and urbanization. However, there is an imbalance in development between Penang Island and Seberang Perai, with the latter lagging behind both economically and in overall progress. Seberang Perai holds great potential with its cultural heritage, traditions, and natural wonders that can offer fresh experiences and exploration opportunities. The approach is focuses on developing Kuala Muda as a tourist attraction, capitalizing on its cultural and historical assets, as well as its rich biodiversity. The aim is to share these values with others, allowing them to appreciate local culture and traditions while stimulating the economy and creating job opportunities for the local community. Ultimately, this tourism development not only benefits Kuala Muda but also serves as a catalyst for tourism growth in Seberang Perai.
