DirectRooms.com – Bring in the New Year with special celebrations in Melaka

On New Year’s Eve residents across the city will be coming together to have fun and party the night away. Government authorities are organising special celebrations in the Bandar Hilir area of the city which as the clock counts down on 31st December 2010 will feature live shows and entertainment.

Bands will be performing along with traditional dance and visitors can get a chance to try some of the local delicacies including satay chicken, nasi lemak and chicken rendang.

During the evening attendees can look forward to the coupon lucky draw where a whole range of prizes will be given out to lucky members with the winning tickets.

For those feeling up to it the next day Melaka has a number of tourist attractions including the A Famosa Fort which is also located in Bandar Hilir. The fort is recognised as one of the oldest standing European building remains in Asia and is a relic of when the Portuguese arrived in the city in 1511.

People searching for hotels Melaka over Christmas and New Year are advised to do so early as accommodation can quickly get filled up over the holiday season.

Lek Boonlert, marketing head at DirectRooms.com commented: "The celebrations in Melaka and the city’s beautiful coastline will bring in extra visitors over the New Year. Hotels will also be at a premium so people should search online for the best rates."
