IPOH: A geopark research centre in Lenggong is in the pipeline to boost Perak tourism, says Datuk Seri Dr Shamsul Anuar Nasarah.
The Lenggong MP and Lenggong geo-community committee chairman said the centre would help promote education tourism in the area.
"For now, we have the geopark gallery which features some of the research carried out in Lenggong," he told reporters after closing the geopark seminar at a hotel here on Friday . "It is hoped that the centre will attract not only tourists but also international researchers to conduct experiments in Lenggong.
In 1991, archaeologist Prof Datuk Dr Siti Zuraina Abdul Majid discovered the 74,000-year-old Palaeolithic stone tool site, alongside the world-famous 11,000-year-old Perak Man.
