All natural and cultural heritage sites have tourism potentials. Agreed, fragile archaeological sites such as the Lenggong Valley’s excavations must be carefully managed to “safeguard the integrity of the site”. Selective visitation may be the rule. Non-sustainable tourism cannot be allowed. When the Perak Heritage Society members visited Lenggong in 2004, a guide recommended by the museum was hired.

Off the beaten track, the dedicated museum at Kota Tampan is not well-visited. Exciting events can be held there, but who will go all that way? While locals can easily visit the museum for information and knowledge, any promotional infotainment to raise awareness of the universal archeaological values of the Lenggong Valley should be held in urban areas with a ready audience. Better still, make a documentary on Lenggong Valley and air it in rtm TV.
