Sabah tourism is recovering, while targeting wider markets_Kota Kinabalu, 29th June 2022. A growing number of direct international and domestic flights into Sabah, a Malaysian state, is recorded. A total of 389 weekly flights now available since the interstate travel was lifted last year and the international border reopened in April this year (compared with 445 weekly flights before the pandemic), according to Datuk Joniston Bangkuai, Assistant Minister of Sabah Tourism, Culture and Environment, as quoted by The Star on June 18, 2022. Preliminary figures showing a progressive growth in domestic and foreign visitors: 408, 530 arrivals between January and April this year (392, 968 domestic and 15, 562 international tourists). "This represents a 412% increase over the same period last year, " said Joniston. Sabah international arrival for tourism is highly dependant on China, who made up half of tourist arrivals between 2017 and 2019, according to Free Malaysia Today on April 5. However, China's "zero-Covid" policy, which strictly limits travel to and from the country, has been causing a pain for Sabah tourism. According to Teo Chee Kim, president of Tourism Association in Sandakan, second largest city in Sabah after Kota Kinabalu, the state must look into opening up other markets: Singapore, Thailand, India, Indonesia and Japan, Free Malaysia Today reported. Sabah also targeted South Korea, which is only second behind China in terms of international arrivals within the same period. Tourism is the third largest constributor to the economy—after agriculture and manufacturing—of Sabah, a state where the highest unemployment rate in the Malaysia (13.5 percent) occurs. "The pandemic has opened an opportunity to reflect on the pre-existing issues on tourism and reset the current approach for a more responsible and sustainable tourism industry in the future, " wrote Hong Ching Hoh in a Dec 2021 paper published on Research in Globalization (accessed via Science Direct).
