FROM ONE BLUNDER TO ANOTHER

A nine- kilometre boat ride lasting 40 minutes provided by the River Cruise Service along the Terengganu river has been introduced as a new attraction for visitors at the Islamic Civilisation Park (TTI) here.

TTI sales and marketing manager Nor Sabihah Fidri said everyday about 400 tourists visited the park to experience the joy of riding in several boats that had been made available for them at the park.

This is a miserable figure compared to the money spent to create this theme park called Taman Tamaddun Islam which was inspired by the Alhambra of Spain.

"We receive visitors to go for between seven and eight trips a day along the river," she told reporters in conjunction with a quiz programme organised by the TTI-Terenganu FM radio service here Saturday.

Undoubtedly many efforts have been carried out to promote the theme park but without much success. Not in this heat and weather of Kuala Trengganu.

The quiz contest held in collaboration with the radio station started on Dec 1 last year and will end on Jan 31.

So what are you waiting for. Just hit the road and head for TTI, you will be surprised what you can see there and ask yourself if the trip has been worthwhile.
