New Tourism Products

Here's my thoughts about new niche tourism products

AS MALAYSIA enters an era of transformation in line with the New Economic Model (NEM), the time is now ripe for some sectors like tourism to go more into niche tourism products and services.

Take your report, “Love is in the air for newlyweds,” (Sunday Star, April 18) as a lead, we are now beginning to go for various modes and means to fulfil the lifestyle needs of our tourists.

We have heard a lot about people who are willing to fly to the romantic island of Bali just to have a wedding “made-in-heaven”. But what is so great about Bali that we don’t have on our many paradise islands of Langkawi, Penang, Redang, Tioman, Pangkor Laut, Mabul, etc?

To sum it up, I can simply say that the two winning points of Bali are the culture and arts scene. The whole island has an air of festivity day in and day out. Ours on the other hand, is a seasonal affair while some are just put together for the benefit of tourists. Bali also has all the trappings in terms of niche tourism products and services, which we sorely lack.

Talking about weddings in Bali, tour operators walk the extra mile by providing things like air tours in which one can arrive in style, or a lovers’ tour of the island and beyond.

Surely, we are not short of all these trappings and the icing-on-the cake stuff. Our tour operators should be more creative and come up with itineraries that can attract this particular segment of people.

For example, we can offer a helicopter ride for a bridal shoot to nearby Fraser’s Hill, our Little England, or to Bukit Tinggi, our “Petit France”, or to honeymoon retreats like Pangkor Laut and Langkawi, just to name a few.

We can save a lot in foreign exchange if Malaysians holiday at home instead of going to places like Bali, Bandung, Koh Samui, Ho Chi Minh City or Hong Kong like these places were their second home.

According to Tourism Malaysia, our tourist arrival figures have already surpassed the 20 million targeted mark. But then what is the quality of these visitors? Are they mere sightseeing tourists on packaged holidays or are they long-stayers with money to burn?

I suppose we must not be contented with the multiplying numbers achieved every year. If we want to raise our standard of living, we should also explore the top-notch tourist market.

I have just come back from an anniversary holiday in Lombok, Indonesia. With our strong ringgit, we were able to stay in a five-star hotel there. On the whole, Lombok is poor in terms of income and infrastructure but they are simply rich in tourism products.

By comparison, we were there for only four days and three nights while a middle-aged British couple whom we met were able to stay there for almost 20 days. Imagine, they were spending the pounds by the thousands to the benefit of the local community.

These are the visitors we should pursue. Tourism Malaysia and the local players should take the cue and lead the way in ensuring that in-bound visitors are not just day-trippers but are in the real sense of the word tourists with much disposable income to part with.

Zoo Negara

Zoo lure at travel fair





The management of Zoo Negara promises a jungle at next month’s MDTF, with plants, pythons and macaws, writes JOHN TIONG

Feeding giraffes is a popular activity at the zoo
ZOO Negara Malaysia is bringing a little part of its wildlife park to the Malaysia Domestic Tourism Fair’s Hall Three in Putra World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur from May 14 to 16.

“We will create a jungle setting with a waterfall, plants and trees and exhibit some animals such as pythons and macaws,” says its director, Dr Mohamad Ngah.

Visitors will be allowed to take pictures with these animals for free and there’s a 20 per cent discount on entrance tickets to the zoo.

As the zoo is also a place to learn about conservation work, its booth would be a very informative place for those keen to know more about nature conservation and the park’s classes and training on the subject.

Zoo Negara Malaysia, the size of about 50 international soccer fields, is only five kms from the KL city centre. It is 47 years old and is managed by Malaysian Zoological Society, a non-governmental organisation.
The zoo is well known for its huge collection of animals. There are 5,137 animals of more than 450 species, many of which are endangered. “The animals are mostly kept in enclosures that reflect their natural habitats,” says Dr Mohamad.

Visiting the zoo is a lot of fun as there are daily shows by sea lions, macaques, macaws and elephants. Visitors will get to even know how elephant nails are cleaned.

There is a restaurant, three cafes, a bee museum and a souvenir shop within the wildlife park.

It also caters to those who are looking for something different to hold personal or company functions, says Dr Mohamad, adding that the Savannah Walk — where the largest mix of animals are kept — has a scenic spot with an African setting that can accommodate up to 500 people.

Another area, the Bears, has a waterfall to enhance its green atmosphere and is ideal for small functions.

“Zoo Negara is also an open classroom for young minds to learn about and to nurture their interest and care for wildlife,” says Dr Mohamad.

He hopes visitors to MDTF will take the opportunity to learn more about the zoo and get the best deal out of packages offered at the fair.

Zoo Negara in Hulu Kelang, Selangor, is open daily from 9am to 5pm. For details, call 03-4108 3422/7/8 or email customerservice@zoonegara.org.my or visit www.zoonegara.org.my.
