Best Destination Manager Award
The annual meeting was held at Tongyeong City, Republic of Korea from October 18 to 20. This non-profit organisation consists of eight member countries within the Asia-Pacific region and is represented by 81 cities along with major tour agencies. Its goal is to promote the exchanges and developments of the tourism industry of cities within the organisation.
Hopefully, the award will spur the mayor to continue with his exemplary job of managing Ipoh city. Incidentally, Ipoh City Council was adjudged the best local authority in Malaysia and Ipoh, the cleanest city in Malaysia, by the Ministry of Urban Wellbeing, Housing and Local Government.
The Ipoh City team to the assembly was led by Council Secretary, Zakuan Zakaria, two city councillors and three senior council staff.
