From outstanding local culture to amazing natural wonders, Terengganu continuously brims with exciting offerings for travellers. Compared to other parts of Peninsular Malaysia, Terengganu is less crowded and its rural areas are almost unperturbed and sleepy, which explains how local culture and traditions remain intact. Travellers can expect a truly relaxing, local-centric destination that is far away from the deafening cacophony of the metropolises. With Visit Malaysia Year 2020 approaching, this state that claims itself as Darul Iman (‘Abode of Faith’) goes full throttle to welcome more travellers. In this regard, Terengganu Tourism, in collaboration with Gaya Travel Magazine, recently organised a familiarisation trip for members of the media and influencers to explore Terengganu, specifically the regions of Setiu, Marang and Kuala Terengganu.
