KOTA KINABALU: Determined to avoid a red notice, the Semporna District Council is working to ensure the tourism industry in the district will not be hit by a government advisory.
District Officer Alexander Liew said the financial effects will not only be felt by tourism players if the federal Tourism, Arts and Culture Ministry issued the notice.
He said this in his speech during an engagement session between local authorities and government agencies with tourism players in Semporna on Monday . He said the changes proposed by the federal tourism ministry must be implemented to ensure Semporna continued to grow as a popular and preferred destination for domestic and foreign tourists.
Last week, Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing warned that he might be forced to issue a red notice against travel to Semporna following a food poisoning complaint by a tourist at a resort.
