MOTAC considers devolving tourism licensing to Sabah

KOTA KINABALU: The Federal Government is receptive to devolving the tourism licensing power to Sabah, says the State Tourism, Culture and Environment ministry.

Its minister Datuk Christina Liew said the Tourism, Arts and Culture Ministry (Motac) was open to the idea, and its minister, Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing, had informed her that it was possible to allow Sabah to issue the licences as the state has its own Sabah Tourism Board (STB).
