Uncovering Perak gems

TOURISM Malaysia is expecting an increase in tourist arrivals to Perak in view of the 10 new events to be organised to promote the Silver State. Its state director Norshamshida Abdul Rahman said the Ipoh Food Trail, which was launched last year in Pulau Pangkor, was just the start in promoting Perak as there were still many “hidden gems” in Perak .

“We will also introduce Perak holiday packages through e-marketing to further boost the number of tourists,” she said during a getting-to-know-you session with the media and tourism representatives in Ipoh. “Holiday packages can be booked via the Tourism Malaysia website,” she added.
