Because of this historical event, tourists and sailing fans are sure to come in droves for the experience, and Terengganu is ready for the surge of people during this time. Most hotels in the area offer decent lodgings for their vistors, including the Felda Residence. Strategically located in the heart of the town overlooking the Sungai Terengganu River and easily accessible from the Kuala Terengganu Airport, it is ideal for those intent on following the developments of the race.
