Raub Malaysia

The small town of Raub is situated almost at the middle of peninsular Malaysia. It was the center of gold mining activities in the late 1800 when the colonial British came in large number to open up gold mining activities. Now the gold has been depleted and so are the British.

The town has to look for new ways to create wealth. The fact that the tourism minister for Malaysia is a local lass from Raub will help to develop the local tourism industry. One of the potential features than can attract cultural tourism is the home stay. In fact Raub has a number of homestay facilities intended to attract foreign visitors. These visitors like to have a feel on how the local people live. They cannot get that in the big city like kuala lumpur.

The homestay system will give the foreign visitors to experience first hand on how to live the local life. Some of the attractive events are the Hari Raya celebration or Eid Fitri and a local wedding ceremony. This can be found at Rabub Pahang.
