MIRI: There has been a surge in the number of tourists from peninsula Malaysia and Sabah visiting Sarawak marking a significant development not only for tourism but also for national integration.
Latest figures compiled by the Sarawak Tourism Board (STB) showed that domestic tourists arrivals in Sarawak increased by 47% last year compared to the year before.
However, the number of European and Australian tourists entering Sarawak dipped, apparently because of the flight rationalisation exercise by Malaysia Airlines and Air Asia in August last year.
STB chief executive officer Gracie Geikie, releasing the statistics, said Sarawak recorded some three million tourists last year, with the bulk of them domestic.
