Minister: Drop in Japanese tourist arrivals to Sabah due to travel advisory

KOTA KINABALU: Sabah is seeing a dip in Japanese tourist arrivals due to a travel advisory by the Japanese government to avoid the east coast Sabah for security reasons.

However, state Tourism, Culture and Environment Minister Datuk Christina Liew said there were many places in Sabah that Japanese tourists could visit without having to go to so-called security risk areas in the east coast.
