More support is pouring in for the proposed revival of the stalled Mazu (Goddess of the Sea) project – this time from the association representing tourism players who know the industry best.
The Malaysian Association of Tour and Travel Agents said it is what Sabah badly needs right now post-Covid with neighbouring countries like Thailand, Indonesia and Philippines in fierce competition for scarce tourist dollars.
” Last week, State Culture, Tourism and Environment Minister Datuk Christina Liew said Sabah would experience a tourism boom if the stalled Mazu project is allowed to proceed. Hence, she said, the Mazu project warrants another look by the Gabungan Rakyat Sabah-led State Government. She also said it was time to put aside past political differences and do what is right for Sabah and its people.
