Travelling around Penang has never been easier (and made even more reasonable) with the Travel Privilege Card Penang, as Zac Teo explores
It could be a joy when visiting a new place or country, with countless new attractions to see and in Penang's case, plenty of food to eat as well. With the influx of tourism into Penang growing boundlessly over the good part in the last decade, three parties have joined arms in launching the Travel Privilege Card Penang - namely the Ministry of Tourism & Culture, Tourism Malaysia Penang and the Penang Tourist Centre. In a nutshell, this card provides the holder with excellent incentives when visiting mainly tourist attractions and heritage places, plus a couple of restaurants and public transportation.

Penang365 has been very supportive of progressive action taken to boost tourism in the state, and have obtained one from the Penang Tourist Center office at King Edward's Place. Priced at a relatively reasonable RM20 (~USD5), this card is valid for a year. For those not too familiar with the Penang Tourist Center, alternative places that retail this card would be
- Ghost Museum
- Seabreeze Hotel
- PG Gold Museum
- Aquarium Fish Exhibition
- Penang 3d Trick Art Museum
- Goh Kaki Childhood Museum
- Wonderfood Museum Penang
- Penang Amazing World Studios
- Made in Penang Interactive Museum
I've recently used the Travel Privilege Card when bringing some friends from abroad around Penang, and one of the destinations was the Ghost Museum Penang. Our group enjoyed a 20% discount off the entrance fee, and this rate applies to other museums around Penang as well. Do refer to the appendix list below for the full coverage of the card.
