Efforts to strengthen community-based tourism (CBT) in Sarawak will be further intensified through commercialisation and craft development programmes, said Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri.

Nancy, who is also Batang Sadong Member of Parliament said that apart from enjoying the beauty of Sarawak’s flora and fauna, tourists are also looking for a different kind of tourism experience such as obtaining unique craft products which each district in the state could fully utilise to their advantage.
