Pahang - Subdued with silver lining in 2021

From the mountain tops of Genting Highlands and Cameron Highlands to the dense rainforest of Taman Negara, the sandy beach at Cherating, and also the touristy island of Pulau Tioman, Pahang is not short of an international audience when it comes to tourism. With each segment of tourists looking for a different kind of experience, one could say Pahang has it almost at its feet, except maybe the glitzy lights and congested atmosphere like that of Kuala Lumpur, but that would be a different kind of tourism madness altogether. As the turbulent times have dictated the pace of Malaysia’s economy, and it got worse when the Covid-19 pandemic did not dissipate after the several permutations of the Movement Control Order (MCO) imposed since 18 March 2020, Pahang’s property market was not spared either although some potential might emerge over the course of time when the mega projects go beyond groundbreaking ceremonies to actually delivering promises as planned.
