South Korean tourists make a beeline for Sabah


KOTA KINABALU: A total of 21,541 visitors from South Korea came to Sabah in January alone, almost 40% of the 55,152 tourists from that country who visited the state for the whole of last year.

“The South Korean market is so important to us that it was the first country the Sabah Tourism Board team visited when borders reopened in April last year to engage with airlines and travel agents there,” said Datuk Joniston Bangkuai (pic).
