Singapore to help boost eco-tourism in Johor

Singapore is lending Malaysia its expertise in developing green reserves for eco-tourism.

The tourism agencies of both countries have started a joint feasibility study to look into how an attraction like Singapore's Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve in Kranji can be replicated across the Causeway.

The joint feasibility study, expected to be completed in 2010, is the first such venture into the tourism sector.

The first mention of the collaboration between Singapore and Malaysia in this area came from Minister for National Development Mah Bow Tan in 2009, when he gave an update on Singapore's involvement in Iskandar Malaysia, a project to develop southern Johor's economic corridor.
