Kuala Lumpur - Ready, Willing And Able

Kuala Lumpur gears up for gatherings of all sizes.

- Ellen Clark

ONE HAS TO WONDER what Kuala Lumpur’s original inhabitants would think if they could time-travel into the 21st century. Poor tin miners, they lived a hard-scrabble existence in wooden houses with palm frond thatching at the confluence of two muddy rivers. Who knew then that Kuala Lumpur — fondly known as KL by locals — would turn into a megalopolis of buildings reaching to the sky, ribbons of roads crammed with cars and a population in the millions?

Today this progressive, fast-moving, continually growing city is ready, willing and able to welcome meetings, incentives, conventions and exhibitions of all kinds from all countries. The city’s excellent infrastructure, efficient transportation and communications systems, growing economy and IT-savvy population make it a perfect fit for MICE events. And for unwinding after a long day of meetings, visitors enjoy a variety of tourist attractions, a plethora of shopping options, peaceful parks and some lively nightlife.
