The Famous Bazar Kota, Kota Tinggi

Number of tourist after the flood

On September 1, we got the chance to asked traders and sellers around Kota Tinggi about the number of tourist before and after the flood. 60% of traders and sellers said the number of tourist decrease after the flood when compared to the number before flood hit Kota Tinggi. Majority of them also complain their business was not very well after the flood because the decreasing of tourist. Traders and sellers along associated with tourism(restaurant, handcraft seller, fireflies sightseeing business) felt their business was not so good compared to their fellows that was not associated with tourism industry (eg: fish mongers, local market, etc). Nevertheless, many traders and sellers have recovered since July 2007.
