Islands seek monsoon aid

Island-hopping is one of the tourism activities helping to generate income for resort owners and boat operators in Mersing.

Tourism players in Mersing, Johor, want the state government’s help to introduce programmes to promote and attract visitors to the district before the monsoon season kicks in at the end of October.

Shaz Resort Pulau Tinggi owner Datuk Md Zairi Zainal said the recent National Day holiday was a boon for all resort owners on the islands.
