LangkawiGeopark is Malaysia’s first establiedgeopark located in the far northwestern corner of Peninsualr Malaysia. It is also the first geopark in South-east Asia under the banner of UNESCO Global Geopark Network. Located in the Sthate of Kedah, the LangkawiGeopark is unique in the sense that it comprises 99 islands that formed the legendry Langkawi archipelago.
Langkawi, which has already been established as Malaysia’s premier tourism destination, jump started its development originally through the declaration of Langkawi as a Free-Duty Island in 1987. This declaration and the inception of the Langkawi Development Authority (LADA) later in 1990 has brought systematic development to these legendary cursed islands and transformed them into the present day modern tourism destination.
With strong support from the Federal and State Governments, LADA has placed much effort to make Langkawi an environmentally sustainable tourism destination capitalising on its rich nature diversity and recreational potential. The realisation of LangkawiGeopark is a testimony to this endless effort to make these islands a premier ecotourism destination in this part of the world.
