TYPES OF PATHS

2. DIRT ROAD

TYPES OF ROADS

• NO ACCESS RESTRICTIONS

• SUITABLE WIDTH FOR WORKER’S VEHICLES TO ACCESS

• LESS STEEP WALKWAY

COLLECTIVE ANALYSIS

LONG WALKWAY

STAIRS PATHWAY• HEIGHT TOO STEEP

• SLIPPERY ROAD CONDITION DURING WET SEASONS

LONG PATHWAY• CONGESTED FOOT TRAFFIC DUE

TO SHORTER PATHWAY ACCESS

• UNSAFE WALKWAY FOR PEDESTRIANS DUE TO VEHICLE SHARING

STREAM AREA• ENABLES PASSERBY TO SPPRECIATE

THE SURROUNDING VIEWS OF TEA PLANTATION

• GREAT PLACE FOR RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES

PATHWAY TO FOREST

• STEEP SLOPE

• WET SEASONS; ROAD CONDITION DETIRIORATES

• NARROW PATHWAY

- PROPER PAVED CEMENT ROAD- STAIRS AS SHORT ACCESS TO

TEA PLANTATION- SHADED PATHWAY

- LONG WINDING PATHWAY - EXPOSURE TO SUNLIGHT

AND RAIN

- PAVE THE DIRT ROAD- STAIRS ON STEEP SLOPES

PEOPLE

TOURIST 1 (50-60, Kedah)

REASON FOR VISIT • RELAXATION AND COOL WEATHER

• NEARER LOCATION

IMPROVEMENTS• LACK OF ATTRACTION BESIDES TEA PLANTATION/

FLORA AND FAUNA THAT COULD ADD TO AMBIANCE

• BUGGY SERVICE THAT EASE ACCESS FOR OLDER VISITORS

REASON FOR VISIT

• CAME FOR THE NATURAL AMBIANCE AND COOL WEATHER

• LIKES THE NATURAL SURROUNDING AS IT OPPOSES THE BUSY CITY ENVIRONMENT

TOURIST 2 (couple 25-30)

TEA PLANTATION WORKER

PRODUCE• 200-300KG OF LEAVES HARVESTED PER DAY

(EACH SACK 50KG)

• LEAVES ARE SENT TO THE FACTORY NEAR THE SITE

• THE LEAVES ARE DRIED OVERNIGHT AND CAN BE USED STRAIGHT AFTER

WORKING CONDITIONS • FACE RISK OF GETTING STUNG BY HORNETS

• STAFF ENJOYS FREE TEA MONTHLY

• MOSTLY NEPALESE OR BANGLADESHIS WHO PREFER COFFEE THAN TEA

DEVELOPMENT• PLANNED CONSTRUCTION OF CABLE CAR TO

CROSS THE VALLEY

• HOST A RUN THAT USES THE TEA PLANTATION TRACKS (MARKETING STRATEGY)

ENVIRONMENT• LANDSLIDE RECENTLY DUE TO INCONSISTENT

WEATHER (NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE)

• CLOSED DURING NIGHT TIME TO NOT DISTURB WILDLIFE AND ENSURE CUSTOMER SAFETY

• DO NOT DISTURB ANIMALS IN THE PROCESS BUT TAKE STEPS TO PREVENT THEM FROM COMING NEAR THE PLANTATION

SUPERVISOR

• NATURAL SURROUNDING AND COOL WEATHER

• NO RETURNS DUE TO LACK OF ATTRACTION

• AVERAGE SPEND OF 2-3 HOURS AT THE VALLEY INCLUDING ENJOYING A CUP OF TEA

• MOSTLY TEA SHOPS

• MINIMAL AVAILABILITY OF COFFEE

• LOCAL POV: HEALTH SUPPLEMENT AND ENJOYMENT

ATTRACTION AND TEA CULTURE

• SHORT GETAWAY PLACE

• THE SCENIC LANDSCAPE CREATES A ROMANTIC AMBIANCE FOR COUPLES

• LACK OF ACTIVITIES IS THE CAUSE OF LESSER TEENAGE VISITORS

• ADULTS AND ELDERLIES SHOW A BETTER APPRECIATION TOWARDS NATURE AND THE OUTDOORS
