Bangsar South City, No. 8, Jalan Kerinchi, 59200 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. EXTRAORDINARY EVENTS BEGIN WITH AN EXTRAORDINARY DESTINATION.
Introducing Malaysia, a melting pot of the finest that Asia has to offer, strategically combined with global standards and an international outlook.
our event is hosted in enchanting Malaysia, the gateway to all of Asia. Malaysia, Ya tropical paradise at the tip of South East Asia, offers visitors their first taste of Asia’s most dominant cultures. People of Malay, Chinese, Indian and indigenous heritage live together embracing a uniquely Malaysian lifestyle that celebrates differences.
Malaysia is truly a land of contrasts. Its attractions range from scenic landscapes of lush rainforests and crystal blue oceans to quaint little villages featuring wooden huts on stilts, with its cityscapes consisting of smart skyscrapers and multiplexes that house global corporations, international retail brands and luxurious high rise homes. The Malaysian cuisine too has gained worldwide fame for its enticing tastes, flavours, textures and smells birthed by an eclectic mix of traditional Malay, Chinese and Indian gastronomical delights.
Malaysia is easily one of the most travel friendly countries in the region. Global languages like English and Mandarin are widely spoken and extensive travel services are available at hand…
2 WEATHER As an equatorial country, Malaysia enjoys a tropical climate year round with temperatures fluctuating from 21ºC to 32ºC at sea level, while temperatures at higher elevations range from 15°C to 25°C . Annual rainfall varies from 2,000mm to 2,500mm. The wet season on the west of the peninsula (Apr-Oct) brings thunderstorms in the afternoons, but these are usually brief, and the odd downpour is a welcome way to reduce the humidity. The east coast however tends to have a heavier wet season and is best avoided during the rainy period (Nov-Feb). During these months, many of the beach resorts close, re-opening in March.
CURRENCY Licensed Money changers are based in most shopping malls in cities and operate from 10.00am to 10.00pm throughout the week. Money changing services are also provided 24/7 at most hotels.
HEALTH SERVICES In case of a medical emergency, public and private healthcare centres of international standards are located within easy reach.
CREDIT CARDS All major credit cards are accepted in most hotels, restaurants and shopping malls. Cash advances against all major credit cards too can be made at most banks while cash withdrawals can be made on payments cards bearing the Cirrus, Plus and MAESTRO logos at Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) of banks throughout the country.
TRANSPORTATION Malaysia is supported by a well-established infrastructure system consisting of a comprehensive network of expressways that facilitate smooth intra-city and inter- state road travel. Public transportation consist of taxis, express trains and light rail transit. Extensive air travel networks covering both domestic and international routes are also available.
3 AT THE HEART OF MALAYSIA LIES KUALA LUMPUR, A FAST-PACED YET FRIENDLY METROPOLIS FEATURING THE FINEST CULINARY, RETAIL AND ENTERTAINMENT OPTIONS.
onnexion Conference & Event Centre (CCEC) is strategically located at the Cheart of Kuala Lumpur, a cosmopolitan Asian metropolis which aspires to be a world class city by 2020. Featuring infrastructure of international standards, Kuala Lumpur supports a demanding business and social lifestyle and plays a key role in the fast growing ASEAN region.
Live, Work and Play is the mantra of most KLites as they balance the drive and ambition that come with living in a city as progressive as Kuala Lumpur. The city plays host to strong corporate and service sectors and complements its status as a leading city of business and commerce with equally vibrant recreational offerings. Shopping, dining and clubbing are just a few ways KLites choose to unwind. Kuala Lumpur’s many attractions draws thousands of tourists each year. Amongst her most frequently visited landmarks are:
Petronas Twin Towers – These iconic towers of steel and glass bearing Islamic motifs stand majestically in Kuala Lumpur’s city centre. At a height of 451.9 metres, the linked 88-storey twin structure is regarded as Kuala Lumpur’s crown jewel. A skybridge at 170metres which symbolises a gateway to the future connects the two towers and provides a stunning vantage point of Kuala Lumpur.
Merdeka Square is the historical site where Malaya’s independence from colonial rule was declared in 1957. It was at Merdeka Square that the Union Jack Flag was lowered and the Malayan flag was raised for the very first time. Today a flagpole bearing the flag of Malaysia stands tall on the square.
Kuala Lumpur Bird Park is 20.9 acre public aviary located in the serene and scenic Lake Gardens. It is the world’s largest Free- flight, Walk-in aviary. It is the home to more than 3,000 birds of approximately 200 species of local and foreign birds. Based on its free-flight concept, birds are let free in the aviary which closely resembles their natural habitat and are able to breed naturally in this unique environment.
Bintang Walk is regarded as Kuala Lumpur’s trendiest shopping and entertainment district. It covers Jalan Bukit Bintang and its surrounding areas and features stretches of shopping centres, five- star hotels, restaurants and clubs. Viewed as the fashion capital of the country, Bintang Walk features upscale malls carrying international fashion brands. The nightlife at Bintang Walk is also legendary amongst locals, particularly around the Changkat Bukit Bintang area where there is a concentration of exciting nightspots.
Aquaria KLCC is an oceanarium that showcases over 5,000 fish and other types of marine life from Malaysia and different parts of the world. It is located in the Kuala Lumpur City Centre area.
