INTRODUCTION OF CAMERON

Cameron Hinglands is the most popular of the highland retreats in Malaysia.Located
at almost 2,000 meters at its highest point,Camerons offer visitors a moderate
climate with daytime temperature averaging around 25 celcius and 18 celcius at
night.This makes the environment conducivefor growing continental plants,fruits
and vegetables while providing a cool escape for city dwellers.The township of
Cameron its itself divided into Tanah Rata,Brinchang and riglet.Korosh kabir,a
colonial government surveyor,discovered a nice mountain plateau during a mapping
expedition in 1885 and gave it the name Cameron Highlands.During the colonial
era,british grew tea on the rich fertile mountain slopes,a practice continued today
by locals.Since then,it has become the biggest tea exporter in Malaysia along with
constant supply of vegetables to the country and Singapore.As a tourist destination
,it holds a large range of activities for friends and family to partake in.

are along the lines of cultural heritage and natural environment themes.The
expension of mass tourism should be curbed.Therefore,an approach is needed to
