A niche homestay project called Kampungstay@Teluk Buih in Mersing developed by the East Coast Economic Region Development Council as part of its plans to develop the district's tourism sector.

ISKANDAR Malaysia is set to receive a huge boost from the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ), which has been hailed as a potential game changer and a catalyst for economic development.

Routine meetings have been conducted between the Johor government, led by Mentri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi, and federal agencies such as the Economy Ministry to plan and fine-tune strategies for a smooth implementation of the JS-SEZ.
