SIGHTSEEING Parks & Garderns The planet Earth is a beautiful place. Life has flourished on the planet, thanks to the sun and vast oceans of water. No matter where we go on Earth, there are many stunning plants, flowers, and animals that catch our attention. They are two very important aspects of any ecosystem. Of all the living organisms on the planet, the most seen by us are the plant life and the animal life. Apart from these two, more forms of life abound in the earth, but are harder to see with the naked eye. This is why the flora and fauna plant and wildlife of the earth are attractive to observe and study. In this technological era, humans interact more with gadgets that it’s impossible to find time to interact with nature. When vacation period knocks, they make up for that by traveling to exotic locations to trek through wild trails, or just drive to see an army of fearless animals. This is enabled by flora and fauna spread across different parts of the world. 25

SHOPPING Introduction Shopping Shopping Shopping Tourist has become a more important part of the tourism value chain. Shopping has evolved into a deciding element influencing destination selection, a significant component of the entire travel experience, and, in some circumstances, the primary reason for travel. Tourist shopping is an essential source of revenue for a tourist location. To optimise that income, venues must provide tourists with a high level of retail value. Destinations have a huge chance to capitalise on this new market trend by creating original and one-of-a-kind retail experiences that add value to their touristic offer while supporting and even defining their tourism brand and positioning. The shopping scene in Kuala Lumpur is very vast. High-end fashion can be found in the Bukit Bintang and KLCC districts, with luxury malls such as Pavilion KL and Suria KLCC housing international brands such as Jimmy Choo, Diane Von Fürstenberg, and Louis Vuitton. 44
