MIRI: World heritage site Mulu National Park – Sarawak tourism’s crown-jewel – has lost six months’ worth of tourism business from overseas , especially from Europe.
The cost to the state is estimated to be a few million ringgit.
Latest information gathered by the Sarawak Tourism Board (STB) showed that the Mulu National Park had been excluded from tour packages offered by tour agents throughout Europe for the past six months because of difficulties in securing confirmed flight seats.
STB Chief Executive Officer Gracie Geikie said on Monday that this news was very disheartening because the Federal and state government had spent huge amounts of time and money promoting Mulu all over the world.
