“The dinner serves as a platform of getting to know the media from Terengganu whilst creating a mutual understanding between the two States in exchanging information on tourism products with one another.
“Ipoh City is listed among the ten cities most visited in Asia by the Lonely Planet Travel website where the focus is on food, hipster cafe, boutique hotel, Taj Mahal Railway Station, and Old Town.
