Munusamy, Director of Sales & Marketing from LEGOLAND® Malaysia Resort.
“This cross-border contest is an amazing opportunity that offers families the chance to win some amazing prizes – among them, a fully paid holiday experience at Puteri Harbour, one of the most scenic waterfront developments in Malaysia. Through this contest, we want to see the moments that mean the most to you and your family, and to be moved by the stories, connections and emotions that stem from your time together,” said Philip Whittaker.
This contest comes as part of the Iskandar Puteri Destination Marketing Forum’s initiatives to drive visitation across the region. Established in 2015, the Iskandar Puteri Destination Marketing Forum (formerly known as the Nusajaya Destination Marketing Forum) is a committee that was set up and chaired by Themed Attractions Resorts & Hotels Sdn Bhd in order to bring together and streamline efforts and activities of stakeholders within the township of Iskandar Puteri.
To date, the committee has started marketing groundwork to get the things for the destination going – of which include the improvement to connectivity and way-finding to the destination, the launch of “time.together” – an initiative aimed at encouraging the public to come to Puteri Harbour and spend quality time with family and friends, and spearheading a special collaboration between Hotel Jen, Puteri Harbour and SANRIO HELLO KITTY TOWN, to produce exclusively designed Hello Kitty themed hotel rooms for families and fans of the beloved icon.
Puteri Harbour is located 10 mins from LEGOLAND® Malaysia Resort, 30 min from Senai International Airport or 55 minutes from Singapore’s Changi Airport. Puteri Harbour is accessible from Indonesia via a 90-minute ferry ride from Tanjung Balai and 2-hour ferry ride from Batam.
