KOTA KINABALU: Sabah is set to see a potential rise in Japanese tourist arrivals next year, thanks to strong transit connections and an increase in direct flights from Japan to Sabah.
Expressing optimism, Sabah Tourism Board (STB) chief executive officer Julinus Jeffery Jimit said he hoped Malaysia Airlines would introduce a direct route from Haneda to Kota Kinabalu by early 2025.
