    LANGKAWI, MALAYSIA, February 18, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The second Putrajaya International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta could be on the agenda for people using Langkawi hotels next month.

Taking place from March 18th to 21st, the festival will feature 23 balloons from 12 countries, including returning participants Belgium, the USA, France, Japan and Malaysia.

New balloons from nations such as Sweden, Germany and Thailand will also be on show.

People attending the event can watch as the colourful balloons take to the skies above Putrajaya.

The event takes place under the theme "one world, one Malaysia, one fiesta", which aims to promote a message of unity and mutual understanding.

As well as the balloons, the busy festival programme features a number of events to keep visitors entertained, including displays of remote control flying aircraft and paper aeroplane contests.
