Johor has opened its very own handicraft centre, named 'Ole-ole Johor'. The flagship outlet at Kompleks Kraf Johor, Jalan Cenderasari, Larkin, here offers myriad Johorean handmade handicrafts. State Tourism, Domestic Trade and Consumerism Committee chairman Datuk Tee Siew Kiong said the handicraft centre features authentic items at affordable prices.
"This is an added feature which will complement the tourism sector in the state. It is also part of our state tourism marketing plan for this year," he said during the centre’s launch today. Tee said the RM500,000 project is a smart partnership involving the state government and Johor handicraft manufacturers, adding that similar outlets will be opened in the future at tourist spots state-wide.
Among products sold at Ole-Ole Johor is merchandise commemorating the Sultan of Johor's Coronation last year. "Ole-ole Johor will also be a centre where tourists can obtain information on local products and tourist destinations.
Brochures and the state's tourism bulletin, Xplore Johor, are available at the centre," Tee said. Ole-ole Johor is open between 10am to 6pm, daily. Admission is free. For more information on the centre, or about Johor tourism, visit www.tourismjohor.com
