KOTA KINABALU: Nautical tourism has the potential to bring visitors to Sabah who will stay for extended periods that will benefit the economy through spillover.

State Tourism, Culture, and Environment Assistant Minister Datuk Joniston Bangkuai said Sabah needs to capitalise on the prospects of recreational boating given Sabah's advantageous location and abundance of waterways.

"I think we should develop Sabah into a vibrant boating culture because we have received many locals and foreigners participating in recreational boating activities. "Hosting successful sailing and boating events can enhance Sabah's reputation as a nautical tourism destination. Such events can generate temporary and permanent employment opportunities for the local community," he said.

This, he said, is the case with Marudu Bay, which is accessible to rural destinations where sailors can stay longer and explore the surrounding attractions as well as the local community.
