Panorama Langkawi & Pos Malaysia Launches The First Ever Skypos In Malaysia

From 11.11.11, the cable car ride to the peak of Mount Machinchang, Langkawi will be even more special with today’s opening of Skypos, a new tourism initiative to boost the key economic industry of the tax-haven island.
A collaboration effort of Pos Malaysia and Panorama Langkawi - a subsidiary of Syarikat Prasarana Negara Berhad (Prasarana) and operator of the Langkawi cable car – Skypos provides a special service for visitors to share their 'I was here' moment with their loved ones back home by posting a postcard, letter or greeting card via a specially placed Pos Malaysia post box at the Top Station, atop Mount Machinchang.
With the Langkawi cable car service having named recently as one of the World’s Greatest Attractions by Geobeats and winning several awards for its astounding engineering and breathtaking views, Panorama Langkawi provides memorable moments second to none.
“We believe that this initiative also will help in creating a world class attraction in Panorama Langkawi” as said by Mr. Ebi Azly Abdullah, the Chief Operating Officer, Panorama Langkawi.
Located 708 metres above sea level and the first of its kind in Malaysia, the Skypos post was officially launched by Encik Bahaman Kamaruzzaman, who is Pos Malaysia’s Chief Operating Officer of Pos Mel, En Mohd Hussin Ali, the Northern Director of Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission and Ebi.

Panorama Langkawi in rebranding exercise

LANGKAWI: A geo-tourism product, which will enhance technology and educational elements, along with improved jungle-trekking activities are among several sub-brands which will be unveiled by Panorama Langkawi Sdn Bhd as part of its brand restructuring exercise.
 
The company, a wholly-owned unit of Syarikat Prasarana Negara Bhd, currently operates the Langkawi cable car system.



As part of its rebranding exercise, it also unveiled yesterday its new tagline, "Welcome to Happiness".

"Langkawi Cable Car has been the island's flagship brand for a decade, but the time has now come for Panorama Langkawi to be brought to the forefront of public attention as our main brand," the company's chief operating officer Ebi Azly Abdullah told reporters during a media gathering here .

He said Panorama Langkawi is now in talks with a telecommunications provider and local university to set up a collaborative arrangement for the project.
"By partnering these two parties, we will be able to develop the content and facilities required for this new product, which we are touting as Malaysia's first," Ebi Azly said without elaborating.

Ebi Azly said with the brand restructuring of the company's assets, which include the cable car and a 700-metre-high curved bridge, Langkawi Cable Car will be better positioned to host its present and future products.

"By rebranding ourselves as Panorama Langkawi," he noted, "present and future world-class products can be parked comfortably as sub-brands.

"We are now at the threshold of change and this rebranding exercise will also see the inception of a completely new brand identity, which in the months to come, will transform our venue into a more tourist-friendly destination."

Interesting to hear Panorama planned to extend their business for jungle trekking. 

I suggest they should make a trek from the lower part of the cable car to the upper part. But make sure that it will not harm the virgin rainforest.
