The principal town and capital of Tangkak district in Johor, Tangkak is nicknamed ‘Fabric Town’ or ‘Syurga Kain’ in honour of its many textile shops. The town has been declared a tourism destination in line with the Johor State Planning Master Plan 2016-20 which aims to place the tourism sector as a major contributor to the district’s economic growth.
This new destination boasts of mesmerising wonders of nature, especially the Mount Ledang, said Deputy Minister of Natural Resources and Environment Datuk Hamim Samuri. A total of 22 old and new tourism products have been identified in the draft of Tangkak District Local Plan 2016-2020, which include the Sawah Ring, mushroom farm, lobster fishing activity in Sungai Muar, as well as textile centre in Tangkak town.
Authorities anticipate an increase in employment opportunities in the tourism sector such as in the field of hospitality, transportation, light industry and other tourism-related activities, for local residents to grab and use these opportunities wisely to earn extra income.
