cameron

PETALING JAYA: New tourist attractions as well as “hipster” and franchise cafes that have popped up in many parts of Pahang over the recent years have driven up food prices, say residents.

The owner of Blue Cabins homestay in Cameron Highlands, Tengku Zulfadzil Tengku Mohamed Ariffin, said many new attractions that have opened up in the area, such as Flower Gardens and Hobbiton village, are attracting more tourists, inevitably increasing food prices.
