The target market is anybody who's interested to live with and experience local culture.

Great to know you can get a taste of the local culture! Cute that you were 'adopted' by one of the locals! Must have been fascinating to see them hard at work.

At the same time, the govt sets a certain standard and requirements to ensure that they offer a wholesome experience to their guests so that the guests' interests are protected as well. That's why there is only a small number of approved homestays in Malaysia - to ensure the quality of the products/services offered as well as to protect the interests of guests.<br /><br />If you ever come to Malaysia, you should give it a shot! ;)Ramble and Wanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03336881437780077950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2877877240777118514.post-82652871168440074112017-06-13T21:35:19.189+08:002017-06-13T21:35:19.189+08:00It was indeed a great way to connect with them and...It was indeed a great way to connect with them and learn about kampung life.
