Johor's New Draws Will Make Tourists Spend More, Stay Longer

on 18 June, 2012

KUALA LUMPUR: The opening of several attractions in Johor is expected to improve tourists spend by a fourth and an average stay by at least two days.

If domestic tourism statistics in 2011 are anything to go by, the top five most frequented destinations in Johor are Tebrau, Gunung Ledang, Danga Bay, Plaza Angsana and Desaru.

All this could change when at least 11 new attractions are scheduled to open in the state. Six of these are being developed by companies under Khazanah Nasional Bhd.

Themed Attractions and Resorts (TAR) Malaysia for example, will open Hello Kitty Town, Little Big Club and Lat themed attraction in Puteri Harbour later this year.
