This piece of paradise has been two million years in the making, and here you will find one of the world’s premier resorts nestling in the shade of forest giants as old as the land. You will find no other resorts – just secluded bays curled around pristine beaches, evening skies woven with colour, and a deep sense of serenity reserved exclusively for our guests. A combination of luxury, natural beauty and age-old wilderness woven together to produce an environment where peace and magically memorable moments are the currency. Of the island’s 300 acres, only a fraction has been developed to house the Resort and its eight Estates. Wooden buildings blend seamlessly into the forest as if nature had been the architect dictating how walls curve around foliage, and roofs open up to allow trees to continue on their journey to the sky. Nature is respected here, almost revered, and it rewards visitors in ways that simply need to be experienced. It is located one and a half kilometers (one nautical mile) to the south-east of the main Destination island of Pangkor, off the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia. It is truly a tropical isle with rocky outcrops and white sandy beaches fringed by the rain forest whose luxuriance is supported by the copious rainfall and warm tropical sun. A British Colonel, Freddy Spencer Chapman DSO, was one of the first Europeans to make Pangkor Laut his destination for thirty-six hours in May 1945. After spending three and a half years in hiding from the Japanese in the jungles of Malaya, Spencer Chapman made his way to Pangkor Laut’s Emerald Bay to escape by submarine. Despite the short visit, the beauty and tranquility of the resort left a great impression on Spencer Chapman and his time on the island is detailed in his book “The Jungle is Neutral.” Location Map PERLIS THAILAND Kangar Kota Bahru LANGKAWI Alor Setar KEDAH Machang Georgetown Penang to Marina Island Pangkor PENANG ( 2 hrs 40 mins ) Kuala Terengganu Penang PERAK International KELANTAN Airport TERENGGANU Sultan Azlan Sultan Azlan Shah Airport Shah Airport to Marina Island Pangkor ( 1 hr 30 mins ) Dungun Ipoh Cameron Highlands Marina Island Pangkor to CHR Marina Island Pangkor Resort (CHR) ( 2 hrs 30 mins ) Pangkor Island Skypark Subang Terminal to Marina Island Pangkor Marina Island ( 3 hrs 15 mins ) Pangkor Pangkor Laut PAHANG Resort (PLR) to PLR KL city to ( 15 mins ) Marina Island Pangkor ( 3 hrs 30 mins ) Kuantan SELANGOR KLIA to Marina Island Pangkor ( 4 hrs ) Kuala Lumpur city Skypark Subang Kuala Lumpur city to Tioman Terminal Skypark Subang Terminal ( 30 mins ) KLIA Boat Route Air Route KLIA to Subang Car Route ( 45 mins ) Boat JOHOR Airport Car Singapore to Sultan Azlan Shah Airport Time estimates are based on ( 1 hr 20 mins ) ordinary traffic and weather conditions.

Under the so called Perak Amanjaya Development Plan, some of the things that we have tried to do are the same things that I believe many others here are concerned about: first, balanced development and economic distribution between the urban and rural areas by focusing on developing small towns; second, poverty eradication regardless of race or religion so that no one remains on the fringes of society or is left behind economically; and, third, youth empowerment. Under the first one, the state identifies viable small- and medium-size companies which can operate from small towns. These companies are to be working closely with the state government to boost the economy of the respective areas.

Furthermore, to fulfill the aim of the research by using techno-centrism’s philosophy, and content analysis to tabulate the research which was conducted for 3 months, we tried to develop new prospective destination by finding the way out how to improve the amount of destination down Perak areas.

  • Adventure Tourism in Kampar, Malaysia: Profile and Visit Characteristics of Domestic Visitors
    International Journal of Business and Society, Vol. 19 S1, 2018, 175-185 ADVENTURE TOURISM IN KAMPAR, MALAYSIA: PROFILE AND VISIT CHARACTERISTICS OF DOMESTIC VISITORS Zulkifli Mohamed Universiti Putra Malaysia Syamsul Herman Mohammad Afandi. Universiti Putra Malaysia Sridar Ramachandran Universiti Putra Malaysia Ahmad Shuib Universiti Putra Malaysia Puvaneswaran Kunasekaran Universiti Putra Malaysia ABSTRACT There were 7.96 million domestic tourist arrivals to Perak in 2015, which marked an increase of 13.71 percent over the previous year. The arrival of domestic tourists to Perak in general and Kampar in particular have prompted a significant increase in demand for facilities and services for adventure tourism activities in Kampar, which is considered to be one of the icons of tourism in the state of Perak. However, a lack of information on the profile of visitors has hampered industry players in Kampar when it comes to identifying their target markets, marketing strategies, and added value products without losing sight of conservation priorities in Kampar. The aim of this study was to determine the profile and visit characteristics of visitors in Kampar from the perspective of adventure tourism. To achieve this objective, a study was conducted on domestic visitors who participated in the adventure tourism activities available in Kampar. On-site data from 102 visitors were collected. The results showed that adventure tourism in Kampar is comprised of visitors with an average age of 33 years and a mean monthly income of RM 3638.72. Most of them travel with friends and obtained the information about the destination through word of mouth and social media platforms.

  • Tourism Development and Planning at a Local Authority Level: a Case in Manjung, Perak, Malaysia
    SHS Web of Conferences 12, 01092( 2014) DOI: 10.1051/shsconf/20141201092 C Owned by the authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2014 Tourism Development and Planning at a Local Authority Level: A Case in Manjung, Perak, Malaysia Nor Hasliza Md Saad1 , Siti Nabiha Abdul Khalid2, Norliza Zainol Abidin3 1School of Management, Universiti Sains Malaysia, 11800 Penang, Malaysia 2,3Graduate School of Business, Universiti Sains Malaysia, 11800 Penang, Malaysia Abstract. Due to the importance of the tourism industry in the country, it is crucial to ensure that local authorities in Malaysia implement sustainable tourism development. In the 10th Malaysian Plan, the government set a key target to be achieved for the tourism sector. One of the key parties responsible for ensuring that the set targets are achieved is the local authorities, who are responsible for providing proper maintenance because the tourism destinations fall under their area of jurisdiction. The aim of this article is to explore tourism development and planning in one of the popular tourism destination and to analyse the role that local authorities play in the development process. This paper explores the local authorities' views and opinions on their tourism development area using interview and focus group approaches. The paper also combines the analysis of government policy and planning documents with a review of tourism development literature. The findings reveal challenges and issues that are experienced by the local authorities in regard to setting the direction, development and management of tourism development. The issues of tourism development are then discussed for the government to ensure tourism development sustainability in the long term.
