A 'Musabaqah Package' has been launched so that Indonesians can watch International Al-Quran Recital Competition (Musabaqah) and enjoy the Malaysia Mega Sales Carnival at special cost.

Tourism Malaysia Jakarta director Jamil Darus said the package is created with cooperation of Indonesian Muslim Tourism Operators (PKWM), Bank Rakyat Indonesia (BRI Syariah) and Malaysian Airlines (MAS).

Other than watching the musabaqah (July 17-23), buyers can shop during Malaysia Mega Sales Carnival (June 15-Aug 31) and feted to a gala dinner by Tourism Malaysia.

"This package will be promoted jointly by Rakyat Merdeka newspaper, via SMS and radio," Jamil said after the package agreement signing ceremony here Friday.

KPWM was represented by its president Syarman Syarif, BRI Syariah by marketing communication head Hanifah Fibianti while Jamil signed on behalf of Tourism Malaysia Jakarta.

Jamil said is expected to sell the packages to at least 500 people while BRI Syariah will promote them via SMS and a series of roadshow in several major Indonesian cities.

Meanwhile, Tourism Malaysia Jakarta deputy director Norlizah Jahaya said the three days and two nights package from July 16-23 involves four flights from Jakarta.

The package costs RM1,350 (single) and RM1,000 (twin sharing) per person including airfare, two nights stay in Kuala Lumpur, meals and tour guides.

Norlizah said the package buyers will save about 20 percent cost compared to usual travel expenses.
