More tourists from China will visit Sabah during upcoming CNY period, says state minister


KOTA KINABALU: Sabah Tourism, Culture and Environment Minister Datuk Christina Liew is optimistic that while it may be too early to see the impact of the 30-day visa-free travel announced for visitors from India and China, the numbers of arrivals to this state will grow particularly from China.

This is in view of the upcoming Chinese New Year (CNY) celebration, where a surge is anticipated as many Chinese nationals are keen on spending the festival in Sabah, a preferred destination for them at this time of the year.
