As 2011 winds down, tourism officials in Perak are gearing up with their plans and projects. Why? Because it will be Visit Perak Year 2012 next year. According to a news article, the state is planning to attract tourists to the state using the Visit Perak Year 2012 programme. The tourism products being developed include a tin dredge, a floating ore-finder used during Perak’s mining era, Gua Tempurung cave and Royal Belum forest.

With only one and a half months to go, it will be interesting to see the spectacular show Perak intends to put on for the world in order to capture visitors’ imagination. The state does have many lovely tourist destinations and interesting cultural, historical and gastronomical delights, most of which are still unknown to most, even in Malaysia.

State tourism committee chairman Datuk Hamidah Osman said the initiative was to ensure that the Visit Perak Year 2012 programme would feature prominently in the world tourism map.
“Various activities are planned for the Visit Perak Year 2012 at the international level to attract more visitors in the coming years.
“For example, Batu Gajah has the only tin dredge left in the world and it is being repaired as a tourist attraction.
“We will make the tin dredge and Gua Tempurung as tourist destinations,” she told reporters after launching Taiping Tourism Festival at Taman Tasek, here, today.
Hamidah said the Royal Belum was more than 130 million years old while the Gua Tempurung was estimated to have existed more than 400 million years ago.
She said the historical aspect would also be developed as a tourist attraction in the districts and smaller towns.
She added eco-tourism and edu-tourism would be developed to attract visitors especially the foreign tourists.
