KOTA KINABALU: China accounted for the highest international arrivals to Sabah in the first seven months of 2024, contributing 262,070 out of the 706,383 total foreign arrivals, a significant increase from the 26,054 arrivals in the same period last year.
Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor (pic) attributed this surge to the mutual visa exemption between Malaysia and China, announced last December.
