MTF VISITOR CENTRE

The Malaysian Tourism Federation, recently registered, is seeking to secure an old building in Kuala Lumpur with a heritage value for its national secretariat and tourist centre.

Tourists will be able to enjoy a ‘three-in-one’ service at this centre which is currently being offered at the Johor Baru Visitor Centre from Feb 21 by the Johor State government.

In an effort to boost tourist arrivals at the city, State Tourism and Domestic Trade committee chairman Hoo Seong Chang said visitors can obtain information about Johor Baru’s tourist attractions at the JOTIC complex here.

“Other than that, the Johor Baru City Council (MBJB) gallery also showcases the city’s rich and historic culture and heritage.

“The third service provided by the centre is the quad-cycle ride, where visitors can hire them to tour the city centre,” he said.

The MTF centre instead will introduce a touch screen map kiosk that provides tourism information in Malaysia. The touch screen application provides pictures, maps and facts about tourist attractions in Malaysia.

Visitors can also view several video clips on Malaysia's main tourist attractions at the centre’s mini theatre.

The tourism visitor centre will be located very distant from existing centres by other agencies such as the Tourism Malaysia.
