KUALA LUMPUR: New Special Tourism Investment Zones (STIZ) will be developed in Johor, Melaka, Negri Sembilan and Sarawak.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said this would involve collaboration between the federal government, state governments, the private sector and cooperatives.
"These zones will serve as catalysts for the creation of new tourism products, including those based on artistic, cultural and heritage assets, as well as natural attractions."
He cited the Sungai Batu Civilisation site in Kedah, Lenggong Valley
and Niah Caves, all recognised by Unesco, as examples of natural attractions.
The five-year 13MP, which covers the period from 2026 to 2030, provides a strategic framework for Malaysia's economic, social and environmental priorities.
The plan comes as the nation navigates an increasingly complex
global environment and a broad domestic reform agenda.
The 13MP will also serve as a key policy platform for the unity government, which has anchored much of its governance on the principles of the Madani Economy.
Previously, Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil said the 13MP
reflected the government's commitment to building a more inclusive and
sustainable economic foundation over the next five years.
