State can set council to boost Terengganu tourism

KUALA TERENGGANU: The Terengganu Tourism Association (PPNT) hoped that the state would form the Terengganu Tourism Development Council (MPPNT) to strengthen and coordinate Terenggnau’s tourism industry. PPNT chairman Wan Supian Wan Ishak said the setting up the council would enable a more complete focus on the tourism industry.

“With the MPPNT, all tourism related activities can be coordinated under one roof,” he said at the launch of the Terengganu Tourism Forum by State Tourism, Culture, Art and Heritage deputy committee chairman Wan Abdul Hakim Wan Mokhtar here. He added that although the Malaysian Tourism Promotion Board or Tourism Ministry Office in Terengganu exists, its role was not complete. “When the council is established we can invite representatives from Sabah or Johor to help us boost the industry here,” he added.
