Good Food, Clean Restaurants to Attract More Tourists
A total of 30 tourism industry players were feted for a buka puasa dinner at Unique Seafood PJ23 last night, as part of an industry networking session. It was an opportunity for Unique Seafood PJ23, a growing franchise of restaurants offering fresh seafood dining, to showcase itself to tourism promoters in Malaysia.
The guests were hosted by YBhg. Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Mohamad Noor Abdul Rahim, the advisor to Unique Seafood PJ23, while YBhg Datuk Seri Mirza Mohammad Taiyab, Director General of Tourism Malaysia, was the guest of honour.
In his speech, Datuk Seri Mirza thanked Unique Seafood PJ23 for the opportunity to sample fresh seafood dining at the restaurant.

Currently, the top three areas that tourists spend on in Malaysia are shopping (31.3%), accommodation (25.4%) and food and beverages (13.4%). Last year, tourists spent RM9.3 billion on food and beverages out of total expenditure of RM69.1 billion.”
