KUANTAN: Fancy exploring Malaysia's third largest state on big bikes? Pahang Tourism Malaysia aims to promote new packages where visitors will travel around the state on powerful two-wheelers next year.
“We want to try new and interesting things so that there is diversity in the state's tourism industry. “Travelling by big bikes presents something fresh,” said its director Amran Abd Rahman. It would be a niche area but the agency already has cooperation from a travel and tour company which specialises in that particular transportation mode, he said.
“Travelling by car is already an established way of getting around and the business has generated good earnings,” he said during a media appreciation gathering here on Monday.
Amran said another riding activity that was already popular was cycling and this could be promoted as a sports tourism product.
The agency, he said, would work with local authorities to have designated lanes for cycling around town to ensure the safety of cyclists. “Sightseeing should be done at a leisurely pace,” he said. Amran also said at least four events would be highlighted at the national level next year.
They are the 1Malaysia Fabulous Food (1Fab Food), 1Malaysia Contemporary Art (1MCAT), 1Malaysia Green 1Malaysia Clean (1MG1MC) and “Fly and Drive” campaigns, he added.
