Sarawak goes for common tourism packages

KUCHING -- A common tourism package to any domestic and international destination that has a direct air route from or to Sarawak will be introduced this year.

Sarawak Tourism Federation (STF) president Wee Hong Seng said detailed discussion between key players in the tourism industry and state government on the proposed common tourism package was expected to be held after the Chinese New Year celebration next month with the aim of creating more choices for local and foreign tourists who wished to visit Sarawak or other destinations.

"We are looking at the existing direct air link like Kuching-KL, Kuching-Singapore, and Kuching-Brunei," he told Bernama here Saturday.

The tourism industry in other countries which have direct air links with Sarawak would come up with similar common packages so that they would create a win-win situation, he said.

He said more tourism packages for the Brunei Darussalam-Indonesia-Malaysia-Philippines East ASEAN Growth Area (BIMP-EAGA) would also be formulated this year.
