KOTA KINABALU: Tourism,
Culture and Environment Minister Datuk Masidi Manjun is set to sign a
memorandum of collaborative agreement with the Tourism Ministry of Jiangmen to
promote State tourism in China.
The deal will be signed when
he performs the closing ceremony of the 3rd World Youth Congress of Jiangmen on
June 3 at the Magellan Sutera Harbour Resort.
The State tourism industry
has great potentials in attracting tourists from China and other countries to
visit our renowned diving paradise, beautiful islands and the UNESCO world
heritage site of Mount Kinabalu, said Masidi.
He hopes that all the
delegates from the various countries would explore our beautiful tourist
attractions and to experience the goodwill of our people after the congress.
He said this after accepting
the invitation to be the guest of honour to do the closing ceremony when
receiving a courtesy call from the congress organising chairwoman cum United
Sabah Sze Yip Association (USSYA) president Datuk Susan Wong Siew Guen.
Also present were the
association’s vice chairman Peter Ma and its organizing committee members.
This the first time the
congress is held outside of China and the USSYA was given the honour to host
the biennial event this year in Kota Kinabalu. The inaugural congress was held
in Jiangmen in 2008 while Macau hosted the second one in 2010.
About 1,000 youths from all
over the world including Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, America, Canada, England,
Australia, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, the Philippines and Malaysia will
converge here to attend the congress.
Besides signing the
agreement to promote the State tourism sector, the other programmes will see
Kota Kinabalu and Jiangmen sign a memorandum of understanding to establish a
twinning city; presentation of the world’s ten Outstanding Jiangmen Youth
Award, handing over of the flag to the next host and the presentation of songs
and dances by delegates from Sabah, Jiangmen and Hong Kong.
dgn kerjasama ini pasti ia dpt memberi manfaat kepada dua pihak.

ReplyDeleteSaya sokong usaha ini. Harap Sabah akan terus menjadi tumpuan perlancong dari luar negara. Sabah yang kaya dengan tempat perlancongan sememangnya dapat menarik pelancong dari luar negara.
ReplyDeleteIndustri yang semakin berkembang banyak membawa manfaat kepada Sabah
Deletememang nampak kesungguhan kementerian pelancongan Sabah yang bertungkus lumus mahu memajukan industri pelancongan di negeri ini.. hasilnya, jumlah pelancong yang datang ke Sabah lebih tinggi dari pelancong yang datang ke Sarawak..
