Recently, USA Today released a listing of the “Top 100 biggest tourist traps worldwide” and unfortunately Penang Hill was ranked 9th in the list. “The bad reviews are about two dozen, and it didn’t take into consideration the many other good reviews about Penang Hill – which outnumbers the bad ones,” Wong said.Its general manager, Datuk Cheok Lay Leng, stated that the publication has full permission to publish the results of its research. However, it still needs to be determined whether they represent an accurate evaluation of the hill.
According to Cheok, it serves as a reminder for service providers, especially conservationists, to expand the range of services they offer to visitors to the hill, as reported by the Vibes.Since the funicular railway began in 1923, Penang Hill has attracted nearly 50 million visitors, with many repeat visitors.
