In Malaysia, most coastal tourism attractions are located near the rural areas and are accessible via the roadways. Through a rural route, tourists have theopportunity to experience the rural landscapes and natural attractions, traditional villages, taste the local food and conduct recreational activities. However, for a route that has not been recognised as a tourism route, the attractions and landscape features are usually sparsely located and lack integration.
