BEAUFORT: The Sabah government will intensify tourism development programmes in the Beaufort parliamentary constituency, especially at the Pulau Tiga resort in Kuala Penyu known for its volcanic mud pool, under the Ninth Malaysia Plan (9MP)
Deputy Housing and Local Government Minister Datuk Azizah Mohamad Dun said the projects planned included a bridge across Sungai Situmpoh to link Kampung PaluPalu and Pekan Kuala Penyu.
She said the bridge would shorten the travel distance by land from the state capital to Kuala Penyu via Membakut and Kampung Pimping, before a boat is taken to Pulau Tiga.
“With the construction of the bridge, more people will go to Pulau Tiga,” she said.
She welcomed investors keen to set up resorts in the coastal areas of Menumbok, Tanjung Aru and Tampurung.
Azizah, who is also Beaufort MP, said that efforts would be made to beautify Beaufort to be a stopover town serving tourists from Brunei and Sarawak travelling to Kota Kinabalu.
She said that Beaufort could also be promoted for ecotourism, especially Klias which had the proboscis monkeys.
