Langkawi a sleepy backwater has been transformed into a major tourist destination but the question is for the billions that have been poured into its development, did it achieve its goal? We speak to Dr Hezri Adnan, CEO of Langkawi Development Authority to find out what the next phase of growth is and will there be a shift towards diversifying its economy. We also ask how LADA intends to respond to COVID 19 as the tourism sector will be a main casualty of this virus.
