KOTA KINABALU: An environment-friendly organisation of tourism operators has welcomed Sabah’s decision to re-open its borders to international travellers on Sept 1 but calls for a delay in allowing large groups to enter the state.
“Mass tourism can be done if we set aside selected locations for those tourists, but on the whole, we should focus on high-yield tourists who will have a less negative impact on our fragile environment.” Yee said there was a potential of mass tourism from China, but he added that it could also be a market for high-yield educational and corporate visitors that the state could tap into.
“These issues were raised before we closed our international borders,” he said. “Now that we are re-starting, it would be good to start on a positive note.”
