JOHOR BARU: The state government is considering three locations as part of its preparations to welcome back tourists if the travel bubble to Pulau Langkawi is proven a success.

Tourism Johor director Suhairi Hashim said the potential locations were islands off the coast of Mer-sing, Desaru and Iskandar Puteri.
