Food operators and tourist spot owners in the city were urged to improve on their cleanliness to attract more tourists.
State Tourism and Environment committee chairman Hoo Seong Chang said that cleanliness and hygiene were among the top things that tourists look into when visiting a place.
“Cleanliness and hygiene should always be maintained in such premises, public toilets and places of interest.
“We will be monitoring and conducting checks especially at restaurants to ensure that they maintain a certain level of cleanliness,” he said after chairing the state tourism committee meeting at Bangunan Sultan Ibrahim here.
Food haven: Hawker food stalls, which are popular among locals and tourists, should maintain cleanliness at all times.
Hoo added that he was also briefed on the latest developments on the Johor Premium Outlet in Kulaijaya, which was slated to open in November this year.
“The outlet which will have at least 100 shops offering 85 high-end brands is expected to attract tourists especially from neighbouring countries,” he said, adding that Legoland Malaysia Themepark in Nusajaya would also open its doors end of next year.
He added that in other efforts to boost domestic tourism, the committee was also coming up tour packages to visit Kota Iskandar, which is the state administrative centre.
