Congestion at Johor checkpoints will hurt tourism, says tour guides association


JOHOR BARU: The continued congestion at the Bangunan Sultan Iskandar (BSI) and Sultan Abu Bakar Complex (KSAB) in Johor will hamper the state's efforts to become an attractive destination, says Malaysian Tourist Guides Council (MTGC).

"The congestion at BSI and KSAB is a major obstacle to facilitating tourists, visitors, investors as well as the locals to a smooth entry and exit, in and out of Johor," said MTGC president Jimmy Leong in a statement here on Sunday (March 31).
