SHAH ALAM, June 16 — Tourism Selangor is offering RM150,000 worth of project grants through a pitching competition on the state’s domestic tourism recovery plan.
Its general manager Azrul Shah Mohamad said the competition, which starts from June 14 to July 31, aims to attract at least 50 pitches from the public, industry players, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), associations, institutions of higher learning, registered tourist guides and Selangor community hosts.
“Our target in organising this competition is to foster domestic tourism in Selangor via effective approaches based on the new norms or through initiatives geared towards bracing the global pandemic.
“The pitch should also focus on one of these three categories, namely ‘Creative and Innovative Tourism’, ‘Sustainable Tourism’ or ‘Tourism Digitalization’.
“Winners will also get the opportunity to present their projects at the 2021 Tourism Selangor Global Convention which will be organised in November,” he said in a statement yesterday.
