New heritage gem in Sarawak


The Niah Great Cave, where human remains have been found dating back at least 40,000 years.

THE inscription of Niah National Park on the Unesco World Heritage List is a significant boost for tourism in Sarawak and Malaysia, aligning perfectly with the state’s goal of attracting four million visitors this year.

Officially recognised at the 46th Unesco World Heritage Committee meeting in New Delhi in July, the park’s listing comes 14 years after its initial nomination by the state government.
