Malaysia's Melaka to Promote Durian Tourism

Low Chee Leong said a new durian market in Kota Laksamana will help farmers and traders sell durians to tourists.

This will help Melaka's tourism and local farmers who have too many durians and low prices.

A worker shows a popular durian, Musang King, at a shop in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Two years ago, Musang King durians cost about $19 per kilogram, but now they cost about $3 per kilogram. Many people in Malaysia are eating durians now.

Low Chee Leong said they must use the low prices to attract visitors from other countries.

Durian season in Malaysia starts in June or July and ends in September.

Malaysia opened the first durian experience center in Asia in Kuala Lumpur.

Malaysia now offers durian tours where visitors can go to farms and do fun activities like camping and hiking.
