There are plans to offer several family packages. "There is a lot of potential for travel between Perak and Medan, but we must be creative and competitive to ensure we package our offerings attractively," said Perak Tourism Committee Chairman Nolee Ashilin.
274,000 passengers arrived at the airport in Ipoh in 2017, compared with 270,000 in 2016.
