KOTA KINABALU: Plans are underway to set up a tourism information centre at Pekan Nabalu to capitalise on its strategic location as it is the mid-way point to the popular Kinabalu National Park.
The tourism information centre could be spurred further with the enthusiastic participation of villagers in community-based tourism in the surrounding villages, state Tourism, Culture and Environment Assistant Minister Datuk Joniston Bangkuai said.
"The Ministry recognises the significance of Pekan Nabalu as a strategic location and believes that the centre will play a pivotal role in enhancing the tourism infrastructure and offerings in the area.“The tourism centre can further strengthen this engagement, providing valuable information and services to tourists planning to explore the area's natural wonders, adventure opportunities, and culture," he said.
Pekan Nabalu is located within the Kiulu state constituency and is in the heartland of the Kadazan-Dusun indigenous community.
