Now that our tourism industry is opening up again, it’s time for us to focus on supporting the local economy. Buy food from the stall run by the uncle and aunty who always greet you with a smile. Or maybe choose a restaurant that is founded in Malaysia, we do have a few awesome ones. Also, now is the time to start looking around to see what offerings and events are ongoing. Here are some events and deals we hope you will enjoy!
Places to go!
If you’re interested in getting out of the house, into your car, and actually going somewhere physical then here are two deals. Just remember to maintain good hygiene, practice social distancing, and follow the SOPs wherever you are. We should be supporting the local economy as we move into RMCO.
Firstly, this deal is specifically for healthcare workers from the Tengku Ampuan Afzan Hospital in Kuantan, Pahang. Club Med Cherating is excited to treat you to a complimentary 3-days 2-nights stay!
Moreover, there are 200 free stays up for grabs at this popular and attractive resort. The free stay is for two adults and one kid. It is valid for one year once the voucher is claimed by presenting the hospital ID during the online booking process.
