Malaysia’s Johor state on track for 12 million tourists
Chief minister says the Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link to Singapore will be a game changer for the state next year
JOHOR BAHRU, Malaysia (MNTV) – Malaysia’s Johor state plans to extend its Visit Johor Year 2026 campaign into next year after an increase in tourist arrivals, the New Straits Times reported.
Chief Minister Onn Hafiz Ghazi said Johor recorded 4.7 million tourist arrivals from January to June and was confident of reaching its target of 12 million tourists staying in the state by the end of the year.
“Our target is 12 million tourists staying in Johor. Based on figures for January to June, we have recorded 4.7 million tourist arrivals and are on track to achieve the target,” he said at a public dialogue.
He said next year would be pivotal for Johor, particularly with the Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link, a cross-border rail line connecting Johor Bahru and Singapore that is scheduled to begin operations in February.
