Sarawak is targeting young IT professionals in India as they are affluent, said a Malaysian minister.

KUCHING, Sept 19 — Sarawak is eyeing India as a major market to promote its tourism products, its Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister Datuk Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah said today.

“That is why we want to promote Sarawak in India,” he told reporters when announcing the departure of a multi-ethnic cultural dance troupe to India. He said the number of Indian tourist arrivals in Sarawak is"small" due to lack of promotion in the past. He said the troupe will perform the various traditional dances of the various ethnic groups in Sarawak, such as the Iban, Malay, Bidayuh and the Orang Ulu.
