Before that, i have missed to joined the Federal Territory Blog Competition. So i want to trying my luck to joining it.

Initially number of participants not many and rival not as difficult as which. However on secretariat's hard work explore to nationwide and bill in media cause competition this widespread. Rival becoming increasingly violent. Many of the participants especially school and IPT student show very good ability. For open category, the situation very difficult .At the middle of competition rival, I'm feel despair and loosing the focus .

However due i can learn many matters and can increase many friends. For participant from Terengganu, they have many advantages compared us participant from outside. I have to go twice to Terengganu look for information. However because of limited time, not many information that able to be acquired.

Yet it is not a hurdle. I also more knowing Terengganu uniqueness compared previously. Not denying Terengganu is one so fascinating tourism destination.Whatever also the decision, blog this will continue updated to convey information to whole world. I also determined to continue to promote tourism destination all over Malaysia. As my additional had also built blog for Kedah State, Kelantan and Sabah.Whatever experience this precious.

(PANTAI RANTAU ABANG) RANTAU ABANG BEACH



In the 1960’s, Pantai Rantau Abang was made famous for being one of the six hatching sites in the world where giant leatherback turtles lay their eggs. Visitors from all over the world gathered here from May to September every year to watch this amazing moment. The turtle travels all the way to as far as Pacific Ocean and swims across to Pantai Rantau Abang just to lay their eggs.


Due to a number of factors such as the illegal use of drag nets in the prohibited fishing zones, indiscriminate disposal of plastic bags (jellyfish is part of turtle’s diet and suffocated from eating plastic bags that looks like a jellyfish from underwater). There are foreign fishermen who catch turtles for its meat and shells for souvenir products. These are a few contributing factors that led to the dwindling number of turtle landings in most part of the world. From the late 1980’s up until 2000, the Fisheries Department records the lessen number of landings. Now conservation efforts are undertaken by the state government in doing research on the turtles’ conservation and setting up turtle hatchery sites.

Source: Bernama

The Tourism Ministry is considering making Terengganu a tourism icon as the state meets the requirement to be given such a status.

Deputy Tourism Minister Datuk Dr James Dawas Mamit said the state had idyllic islands, marine parks, clean beaches and an inland lake, which was the biggest man-made lake in the country.


“We find that 38 per cent of tourists coming to Terengganu do so for eco-tourism and nature activities while the remaining 62 per cent were undecided.

“To this undecided group, we can recommend the Islamic Civilisation Park, the islands, the lake and other attractions,” he told reporters after making a three-day working visit to Terengganu, here Sunday.

He added that connectivity was another factor that favoured the state getting the status.

NEWS:\Terengganu’s river tour to include more historical sites

From The Star:27 September 2010KUALA TERENGGANU:
Tereng­ganu’s latest tourism project, a river cruise that starts from the scenic Pulau Warisan jetty here, will be extended to the Admiral Cheng Ho temple on a riverbank at Kampung Jeram in Kuala Nerus.

Along the way, the cruise will also stop at Kuala Berang, where an inscribed stone was found that reportedly recorded the earliest spread of Islam to the Malay peninsula.

“We plan to incorporate a heritage trail in the river cruise, so that tourists could get the feel of how the early voyagers made trips here,” said state executive councillor Toh Chin Yaw.

He said the cruise, which started last week from the jetty of the new RM61mil man-made Pulau Warisan island, was expected to be a lucrative revenue spinner for the tourism industry.
New attraction: Tourists enjoying the river cruise in Kuala Terengganu recently.

Since its beginning, it has become immensely popular.

“We are thinking of extending the ride to cover the Cheng Ho temple, located upstream of the Sungai Terengganu,” added Toh, who is the state Commerce, Industry and Environment committee chairman, after taking the cruise with a group of people from the tourism and media industries on Saturday.

According to Chinese annals, Cheng Ho set foot in Kampung Jeram, a 30-minute boat ride from the Sungai Terengganu estuary, in the 15th century.

The admiral was said to have sailed here in 1414 and stopped for food and water at the small village on his fourth voyage from China to the Malay peninsula.

It is documented that Cheng Ho and his crew spent a few months at the village before setting sail for Malacca in 1415.

Legend has it that he left a footprint on the riverbed before his departure.

A century later, Chinese seafarers who came here built a shrine to commemorate his visit.

Now known as Sam Poh Kong, it was upgraded over the centuries and people flock there to offer prayers in memory of the admiral.

Toh said that apart from the temple, the river tour would make a stopover at Kuala Berang where the Batu Bersurat Terengganu was found during a major flood in 1899.

The Jawi inscriptions on the stone are believed to have been written around 1303.

Historians said this proved that Islam had reached Terengganu before the 14th century and that a government had existed long before Malacca was founded.

.............................................................

his is either Government project Terengganu in ensuring tourists arrival continue to increase. Sliding river is one tourism's main attraction and has long carried out in Venice.In Malaysia, concept this was done in Malacca and Putrajaya.Sliding biver bank s enable tourists looked with closer historical attraction and various monument that there are river outside. Terengganu that have river network that flow directly to ocean very suitable to make either one day main attraction later.
Our well done and congratulation for the great ideas

NEWS:Terengganu fears environmental damage with influx of tourists to islands

KUALA TERENGGANU, Sept 20 — The Terengganu government is concerned with the arrival of too many tourists to resort islands in the state.

State Tourism, Culture, Arts and Heritage Committee chairman Datuk Rahin Mohd Said feared that the presence of too many tourists on the islands could cause pollution and damage the corals in the area.

“It is because of this a study will be conducted to ascertain the condition at the islands is preserved,” he told reporters today.

He said about 2,000 foreign and domestic tourists went to the resort islands like Pulau Kapas, Pulau Perhentian, Pulau Tenggol and Pulau Redang every day.

Although, they brought lucrative returns to the state, the arrival of too many people could cause damage to the environment in the long term, he added.

In another development, Rahin said work on Pulau Warisan, a man-made lake, was almost completed and that a craft gallery would also be built on the island. — Bernama

This is the big problem in Tourism Industry.Tourist arrival are very important but sometimes alot of people will give more effect to the environment.In the island, tourist arrival will affect more coral reef and destroy sea life. But this another price we must pay.Goverment must do something to protect our beautiful places and make more rules for tourist
