Tourism Minister wants Malaysians to holiday at home more
Lack of Malaysians travelling locally worries tourism minister
Wednesday August 16, 2006

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysians are not travelling a lot domestically and this gives the Tourism Minister much worry.

“Our people are unaware that there are lots of places to visit in our country,” said Minister Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor.

“We want our people to spend their vacations in Malaysia as we are worried that there may be more Malaysians visiting other countries than foreign tourists coming to Malaysia.”

He said the ministry would re-examine its plans to encourage Malaysians to travel domestically.

“For example, Gua Tempurung is for the adventurous traveller. If you want a change of weather, you can go to the highlands such as Bukit Tinggi, Genting Highlands, the Cameron Highlands and Fraser’s Hill,” he told reporters at the briefing on the Langkawi International Boat Exhibition (Libex) at the Putra World Trade Centre here yesterday. - The Star
