For more than two decades years I have been keeping the Visitors' Book of the Tourist Promotion Association of Cameron Highlands. The book is in good condition though pages punctured by earwigs. The TPA office then was a small half circular building by the roadside, on the right side as one enters Tanah Rata from Tapah. The building still stands as a tourist information centre but no visitors' book. What a pity!
Most of the foreign visitors to Cameron Highlands were expatriates working in Singapore. Local visitors were few in number.
