Seremban: Shopping tourism is seen as a potential draw for more visitors to the state, especially in the run-up to Visit Negeri Sembilan Year (TMNS) 2026, said State Tourism, Culture and Arts Committee chairman Nicole Tan Lee Koon. She said this included the opening of a new clothing store by renowned brand Uniqlo in Seremban 2, which could further boost the state's economy.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Tan highlighted that it's not just the existing tourism products that can attract visitors, but also through shopping tourism. She noted that Seremban hosts many large shopping centres comparable to those in Kuala Lumpur, which can help enhance the tourism industry in Negeri Sembilan.

Tan mentioned that Negeri Sembilan recorded 5.5 million tourist arrivals in 2021, which rose significantly to 20 million last year, with expectations for further increases in the coming year. She assured that the state government would continue efforts to promote Negeri Sembilan more widely and bring a positive economic impact to the local community.
