KOTA KINABALU: Sabah is keen for Indian holidaymakers to return to the state after a previously encouraging influx of guests before the Covid-19 pandemic.

Tourism, Culture and Environment Assistant Minister Datuk Joniston Bangkuai said there had been an upward trend of Indian arrivals to Sabah prior to the pandemic, with 5,606 Indian visitors registered in 2018, and 6,548 recorded the following year.

The group comprising 32 travel agents from India are now in Sabah to explore the state’s potential as a new tourist destination catering to the Indian market. Bangkuai said the group's visit supports the STB’s continued goal of introducing Sabah to the Indian market as a new and hidden gem of Malaysia.
