Covid-19: Sarawak lowers tourist arrival target to two million, says state tourism chief

Monday, 22 Jun 2020 06:34 PM MYT

KUCHING, June 22 — Sarawak is projecting to receive only two million tourists this year, less than half of last year’s figure, because of the impact of Covid-19, said state Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister Datuk Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah. “Our target last year was five million tourists. This year I will be very happy if we have only two million tourists,” he told reporters after a dialogue session with the state tourism industry in Sejingkat here today.

He said this was due to the fact that the borders of many countries are still closed, and Sarawak requires visitors to the state to undergo a 14-day quarantine.
