Despite pandemic, quaint Kelantan village draws visitors in droves - superadmin - 11-01-2020
KOTA BHARU: Despite the gloom brought by the closure of the country’s borders since the movement control order was enforced in March, the sleepy village of Kampung Pulau Tengah, Kubang Kerian, near here, is seeing a boom in tourists.
The visitors are thrilled by this natural haven. The traditional village has become an agro ecotourism destination.
A village committee member, Mohd Hishammudin Ghazali, 38, said the natural beauty of the village has spread by word of mouth, attracting at least 500 people during the weekends.
He said this has helped improve the villagers’ income and made them want to improve their services to tourists.
