Abstract

Under the East Coast Economy Region (ECER) scheme, Kuantan has been selected to become the capital city of the eastern part of the peninsular. Since Malaysia is all out to boost her economy in the tourism industry, Kuantan has the opportunity to develop the urban tourism sustainably taking into account the waterfront and her rich heritage. The scope of the proposed Kuantan Tower is to promote tourism related activities organised by the Ministry as well as state run activities through tourist information counters, websites, printed materials and electronic board.The tourist hub will manage programmes including cultural and tourism related events through shows, exhibitions, briefings and demostrations to attract local and international tourists. The concept of combining Kuantan Tower together with the tourism hub is to provide a one stop centre for tourists to gather or collect information and at the same time experience the aerial views of Kuantan city from the top of the tower.
