SELANGOR has started an initiative to create a new experience for tourists with the help of trained “storytellers” and “masterminds” who will promote the state’s unique heritage and shine a spotlight on the rural communities.

These licenced tour guides, known as community hosts, undergo six months of training under the Selangor Community Host Training Programme 2019 organised by Tourism Selangor.
