KOTA KINABALU: Sabah s rural tourism players are not losing hope and keeping their eco-tourism products intact for the industry to make a comeback in the future.
Despite the slowdown in tourism since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, the rural tourism operators are committed to ensuring their community-based eco-tourism areas are always well-kept to welcome future visitors.
One such place is Kisakot Eco Tourism at Kampung Melangkap Tiong where villagers are pooling resources to build several rest huts to improve the existing infrastructure facilities.
Kadamaian Tourism Association chairman Walter Kandayon said Kisakot Eco-Tourism was among more than 80 rural tourism operators in Kadamaian who had successfully obtained approval for a RM20,000 grant application under the Sabah New Deal.
