TOURISM Johor will be making a concerted effort to highlight the beauty of Johor’s islands to tourists, says its director Sharil Nizam Abdul Rahim.

Noting that many tourists were unaware about what Johor has to offer, Sharil Nizam said the islands off the state’s Mersing district were “comparable to the Maldives” and would be promoted accordingly in the build-up to Visit Johor Year 2026.
