A LETTER written in the name of tourism operators representing hotel owners, transport providers, food and beverage businesses, and adventure organisers in Gopeng, Perak, was recently published by the media ("Call to regulate adventure tourism").

The group expressed concern about the Nov 15 drowning of three participants in a team-building activity while rafting in Sungai Jahang amidst continuous heavy rain that resulted in a water surge, capsizing a boat carrying six passengers and a guide ("Investigation underway following drowning of JKR staff in rafting accident").
