Sabah Tourism Board engages with countries that issued travel warnings to east coast

KOTA KINABALU: Sabah Tourism Board (STB) has proactively engaged with countries that have issued travel advisories against visiting Sabah’s east coast.

In a travel advisory issued by the United Kingdom’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, it advises against “all but essential travel to all islands and dive sites off the coast of eastern Sabah from Sandakan to Tawau, including Lankayan Island, due to kidnapping threats.”
