Sabah,Sabah Tourism Board,Study

BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - Diego Maradona's children filed a request with the Argentine Courts on Thursday to move the former football great's body 'to a much safer place' and for fans 'to pay tribute' in a mausoleum.

Tourism, Culture and Environment Minister Datuk Christina Liew chats with Sabah Tourism Board chief executive officer Julinus Jeffrey Jimit and others during the ministry’s Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebration in Kota Kinabalu on Thursday .

STB chief executive officer Julinus Jeffrey Jimit said the study's findings would be used to formulate effective promotion strategies and ensure a hospitable atmosphere for tourists. He was responding to complaints that foreign companies are dominating restaurants and tour bus operations in Sabah to cater for their countrymen, especially those from China and South Korea, taking business away from local players.

Agreeing that such a monopoly is unfair, state Tourism, Culture and Environment Minister Datuk Christina Liew said the study would also explore ways to give tourists greater exposure to attractions and tourism activities across the whole of Sabah.
