A new, upmarket factory shopping outlet opening in Iskandar will boost tourism to the region says Iskandar Regional Development Authority (Irda) chief executive officer Harun Johari.

“The Johor Premium Outlet is a strategic and catalytic project in Iskandar Malaysia and for the overall state of Johor. It will create a new market segment in tourism such as a luxury shopping destination,” he says and adds, ”We welcome such investments in Iskandar Malaysia as it will contribute to the gross domestic product.”

The project is expected to increase jobs for local people and to bring additional opportunities for small and medium sized enterprises.
