KOTA KINABALU: Sabah will be able to attain the 2.5 million tourists’ arrival mark in the 2011 State Budget.
Tourism, Culture and Environment Minister, Datuk Masidi Manjun told press members after launching the BlissMedia’s LCD advertising campaign yesterday that he is optimistic of the State’s capacity to achieve the target.
“Short of world catastrophe, I believe we can touch the figure,” he said.
He added that Sabah has fantastic tropical forests which served as a tourism product.
He also said that government’s effort in gazetting new forest reserves have also been received well by the world’s community.
One aspect that remains lacking in Sabah is adequate quality human resources in the service industry, he said.
“Our workers in the service industry keep on being snatched up by hotels in Singapore and West Malaysia,” he said.
He said this was a problem in the tourism industry.
