Golf and medical tourism are set to be given greater attention in the state next year in anticipation of the Visit Selangor Year 2025.
Tourism Selangor event and focus tourism manager Mohamad Faroul Mustaffa Ngadamin said the agency will introduce specific packages for these two tourism markets.
He said packages that combine the two categories also have the potential of increasing the number of domestic and international tourist arrivals into Selangor.
“Selangor is the state with the most number of golf courses in Malaysia, with 29. We can certainly promote these.
“We are also optimistic the packages we will introduce in the near future will be able to generate interest from among locals and foreign tourists,” he said.
The state organised a big scale golf tournament recently with participation from over 100 golfers comprising individuals from the public and private sectors, as well as media practitioners.
Meanwhile, Farouk said he welcomes cooperation between the government and corporate sector to jointly organise a bigger golfing event next year.
“This tournament is highly-anticipated by golf fans and we intend to organise a larger scale event in the future.
“If we can work together with other agencies or the private sector, it will be better. It will also attract more tourists to Selangor,” he said.
