Accommodation

Please be informed that most international air flights arrive at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA), located about 360km from Penang Island.  Some will arrive at Penang International Airport (PEN), which is on Penang Island itself.  If you are arriving at KLIA, take a connecting flight from KLIA to the Penang International Airport at Bayan Lepas and then a taxi from the Penang International Airport to the Parkroyal Penang Resort which is situated in Batu Feringghi, about 30 km from the airport. Taxi fare from the airport to Batu Feringghi is RM 60. A much cheaper but more arduous method is by Rapid bus no. 102 which will cost you approximately RM 4 but could take up to one and a half or two hours (travel time and waiting time). More information on Rapid bus services is available on http://www.rapidpg.com.my/. For local presenters travelling by coach/bus you will arrive at the Sungai Nibong Bus terminal (Terminal Bas Ekspres Sungai Nibong). From there you can take a taxi to Batu Feringghi for about RM 45. Rapid buses also make trips between the bus terminal and Batu Feringghi for a fraction of that price. Please refer to the link above to plan your journey.

Parkroyal Penang Resort is the host hotel and venue for INCoH2011. The hotel is offering special room rates for conference

participants. Please kindly fill in the hotel reservation form and submit it directly to Parkroyal Reservation Manager, either by fax

or email not later than 14 May 2011. Participants are advised to make early reservation. In order to get the special rate, please

be sure to mention that you will be attending the International Conference on Humanities 2011 when making your reservations.

Please note that all participants will be responsible for making their own hotel arrangements. The room rental and all expenses

will be charged on the participant's own account. Participants are requested to make their own transportation arrangements to and

from the hotel.
