KUCHING: An outbreak of war in Iraq would not affect the flow of tourists to Sarawak from regional markets although the Middle East sector might be affected, state Tourism Minister Datuk Seri Abang Johari Tun Openg said. 

He said feedback from the Europe Asia Trade Agreement (Eata) members showed that many airlines were now talking about new air routes, from the west to east, to bypass the troubled region.
