KUCHING, Nov 8: Boat accommodation and fishing activities such as squid jigging are among the tourism experiences that could be developed in Telaga Air to attract more visitors and create income opportunities for the local community.

Minister of Women, Family and Community Development Dato Sri Nancy Shukri said the area had the potential to offer more than its existing seafood attractions and scenic coastal surroundings, with new tourism products helping visitors enjoy a more distinctive experience.

Citing an example from Terengganu, she said visitors there could spend the night on boats while taking part in activities such as squid jigging, suggesting that similar experiences could be explored in Telaga Air.
