The Explore Johor Fest exhibition which will held for the first time, is scheduled to have a big impact on the various destinations in the state.

The inaugural event will take place from Friday to Sunday this year at the Senai International Airport here.

The event is aimed to provide the opportunity for visitors to know and appreciate Johor's natural beauty and locations such as beaches, islands, waterfalls and national parks.

It also acts as a guide to allow potential tourists to plan their stay in Johor at these exciting destinations according to their budgets.

Johor tourism, domestic trade and consumerism committee chairman Datuk Tee Siew Kiong said tourists to Johor can make smart choices based on the information and tips during the exhibition.

"At the same time, the exhibition also aims to educate potential tourists on what is on offer at tourist destinations such as lodging and food," he said recently.

Tee said the exhibition will be joined by several companies and 11 tourist clusters such as theme park operators, hotels, resorts and tourist destinations from the state.

"At the same time, visitors will also get to enjoy food and delicacies from the various districts in the state by chefs from several renowned hotels.

"In addition, there will also be cultural performances, local handicraft exhibitions, and also a lucky draw," he said.

The state government, together with the Iskandar Malaysia Public Transportation authority will provide free bus service to the public during the entire exhibition period.

In conjunction with the exhibition, the state government will also launch the Johor Tourism Master Plan by Johor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin.
