AsiaRooms.com - MyBiotechnology Carnival 2010 to take place near Langkawi

AsiaRooms.com reports the MyBiotechnology Carnival 2010 is coming to the north-west Malaysian state of Kedah towards the start of November.

Set to take place at the National Science Centre in Alor Setar between November 6th and 19th, the occasion mirrors a similar event being held in Kuala Lumpur until October 2nd.

According to its organisers, the festival is a great experience for people to take their family and friends to, and provides visitors with the opportunity to learn about biotechnology in a "fun-filled manner".

They have predicted that it will go on to become a "landmark event" in the coming years and said it should help to raise awareness of the scientific field across the country.

Scientists, academics, students, policymakers and members of the media are all expected to attend, with the organisers forecasting that more than 100,000 people will check out the various displays and exhibitions, which include biotechnology-based interactive games.

With the level of interest expected to be so high, tourists would be wise to book nearby accommodation - such as Langkawi hotels - in the run-up to the carnival.

Travellers can catch a ferry from Langkawi to Kuala Kedah, located just a short distance from Alor Setar, for 36 Malaysian ringgits (£7.35) for a return journey.
