Johor should create joint tourism package with Southern Thailand, says consul
Johor should create a joint tourism package with Southern Thailand according to Malaysia's consul-general here.
Consul-general II, Mohammad Shaharul Md Osman proposed for the package which could be initiated in the spirit of Asean, to start from Phuket and Hat Yai, Thailand to Johor.
"The tourism industry in Southern Thailand is very robust and has helped to stabilise the national economy; at certain times it is overwhelmed by visitors particularly to Songkhla and Hat Yai.
"In this regard, Johor should capitalise and initiate a cooperation with southern Thailand to persuade its tourists to proceed to Johor," he told a Johor media group that visited the Malaysian consulate here recently.
The group was in southern Thailand in conjunction with a Johor Media-Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTMB) exploration mission.
Mohammad Shaharul opined that Southern Thailand's tourism players deserved credit for successfully promoting their tourism packages and local products.
"They smartly diversify and come up with other products besides the island destinations, food, shopping and entertainment to attract visitors, for example the Khlong Hae floating market in Hat Yai," he said.
