Sandakan: The Tourism, Culture and Environment Ministry is considering a proposal to turn Gomantong Cave into a tourism site as well as develop a proposed Gomantong Park to provide facilities for the visitors.
Minister Datuk Masidi Manjun, who viewed the proposal as good for long-term tourism development, said the bird's nest collection activity in the area could itself become a tourism product.
Aside from that, he said a centre for doing research on the swiftlet's nest could also be set up.
Responding to a suggestion made by Sukau Assemblyman Saddi Abdul Rahman, Masidi said a homestay programme can also be developed involving the interested villagers there as part of the effort to increase their income.
