Monsoon not dampening Johor tourism


Splashing good time: The long school holiday season has been a boon for several theme parks around Johor.

JOHOR BARU: The monsoon season, which has forced authorities to close popular tourist destinations such as national parks and islands in Johor, will have a minimal effect on tourism, says Johor Tourist Guides Association president Jimmy Leong Wei Kong.

“As a precaution, the authorities have not allowed any sea-related activities or those at high risk areas. But there are other alternative destinations that tourists can still visit in Johor,” he said.
