MIRI: The Mulu National Park, a Unesco world heritage site, near here, is losing tourists following problems that have emerged with the air service rationalisation exercise in Sarawak, Chief Minister Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud said Saturday.
He said many tourism wholesalers around the world have taken Mulu off the list of destinations that they wanted to promote after the exercise resulted in undue cancellation of flights as well as air connectivity problems.
"This is a very great disincentive for the entrepreneurs who have worked hard and invested their money in the hotel business (to accommodate tourists going to Mulu) and yet find the air access problem has not been tackled," he said when opening the Imperial Hotel, here.
