KUALA TERENGGANU – The Terengganu state government has advised tourists planning to holiday in the state to obtain tourism services from licensed agents.

State Tourism, Culture and Digital Technology Committee deputy chairman Sulaiman Sulong said guides on tourist destinations can be obtained from the State Tourism Development Department’s social media sites such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Youtube.

“Apart from that, the list of licensed tourism agents is available at the website https://www.motac.gov.my/semakan/tobtab,” he said in a statement today.

The statement was issued following the arrest of a couple believed to be involved in a homestay cheating case in Terengganu yesterday.

It was reported that the victim made an online payment for a homestay booking in Jalan Pasir Panjang, here, but later found he had been duped when there was no such residence. – Bernama, June 9, 2022
