SHAH ALAM, Oct 2 — The Shah Alam City Council (MBSA) is upgrading its tourism infrastructure this year in preparation for Visit Selangor Year 2025.
Among the improvements are Pocket Park in the city centre, beautifying the city’s roundabouts, and upgrading Catopia Park, Laman Syifa’ and Taman Anggerik, said MBSA acting deputy mayor Madiyan Baweh.
“This initiative was implemented under the landscape beautifying project. MBSA has also improved tourism products such as the Selangor-Japan Friendship Park, Laman Seni 7 mural, Shah Alam Zipline, and Musical Fountain Cultural Park.
“This is aimed at drawing tourists to Shah Alam, and, at the same time, helping the state government achieve its target of attracting eight million tourists next year,” he said when officiating a target group discussion on the assessment and profiling of Shah Alam’s tourism destinations, attended by some 100 people from various agencies here today.
To promote Visit Selangor Year 2025, the state government has undertaken efforts such as advertising, digital and social media campaigns, and events, roadshows and exhibitions.
The campaign, with over 60 offerings next year, is set to draw eight million domestic and international visitors, with a receipt collection target of RM11.7 billion.
