THE newly launched Johor Baru–Kuala Lumpur Electric Train Service (ETS), coupled with the upcoming Johor Baru-Kulai commuter service, is set to boost Johor’s tourism.
Malaysian Tourist Guides Council president Jimmy Leong said industry players had started seeing the spill-over effects of improved connectivity and were anticipating more visitors next year.
“Tourist spots outside Johor Baru, particularly those near ETS stations, should see more visitors.
“These are places that may previously have been difficult for tourists, including those from Singapore, to reach.
“Similarly, the commuter service to Kulai will also spur activities in the district, including its tourism sector.”
He said the state government’s provision of more bus services around the city would ease travel for both tourists and locals.
“We have had a meeting with the Johor Public Transport Corporation (PAJ) to discuss providing buses to several places of interest around Johor Baru city.
