KOTA KINABALU: There is a critical need for courses that offer rural tourism players with the skills and knowledge to do well in the tourism industry, said the Sabah Tourism Board (STB).

STB chairman Datuk Joniston Bangkuai (pic) said this is because there is a continued growing interest in rural tourism among the local communities, in part due to the ongoing efforts by the state to promote and encourage rural tourism or community-based tourism in Sabah.
