Anaklangkawi :- Those statistic shows there's an increase number of tourist in Langkawi. I wonder if LADA have done enough to promote Langkawi as a tourist destination by geo-Park status. By right LADA should have a statistic how many tourist had come due to the geo-Park status looking at the funds used by this status. Who can provide the figure?
