| dc.description | Georgetown and Melaka have been declared as Malaysia’s second World Heritage site by UNESCO in
2008. The number of tourists visiting the cities improved greatly following this listing. This paper will study
the establishment of Penang World Heritage Office or officially known as Georgetown World Heritage
Incorporated (GTWHI). The organization has been set up by the State Government of Penang to protect,
promote, and preserve Georgetown as a sustainable city. Despite of these efforts, there have been several
challenges to the organization in discharging its duties. These include the public apathy towards conservation
and preservation that have been done by GTWHI. International convention and domestic laws
related to heritage matters would be analyzed in this paper. GTWHI has also cooperated with the local
government authorities and NGOs in performing its tasks as required by the law. It is found that more
efforts need to be carried out in educating the public on heritage matters. | en_US |
