KOTA KINABALU: Sabah is looking to learn from an Indonesian tourism village to help bring its community-based tourism sector to a new level.

State Tourism, Culture and Environment Assistant Minister Datuk Joniston Bangkuai was in Yogyakarta on the island of Java on Friday to visit the award-winning Nglanggeran Tourism Village.

“We should not limit ourselves to our own examples of success, but instead look to the achievements of others and draw ideas and motivation from them.“We want to see the high-end offering in our rural destinations so we can lure quality tourists,” Bangkuai said after touring the Nglanggeran Tourism Village with his team from STB.

The United Nations World Tourism Organisation had named Nglanggeran Tourism Village the World's Best Tourism Village for 2021. It also won the 2017 Asean Community Based Tourism Award. “I have informed Fertas to get in touch with the Nglanggeran Tourism Village committee with the hope that we can make future engagements in Sabah,” he said.
