Sarikei lines up 6 tourism products for Visit Sarawak Campaign
SARIKEI: The division has lined up six tourism products as part of Visit Sarawak Campaign.
Administrative officer Nurashiqin Abdul Rahman who represented Sarikei Resident said this during the local leg of the campaign’s roadshow organised by Ministry of Tourism, Arts, Culture, Youth and Sports here last Wednesday
These are Sarikei Fishing Safari on April 27; Julau Pepper Fest (July 20 to 28 ); Sebangkoi Mountain bike (Aug 17); Pakan Fest (Aug 17 to 24); Bintangor Orange Fest ( Oct 19 to 27), and Sarikei Pineapple and Fruits Festival (Nov 23 to Dec 1).
Locals responded well and hopefully organisers and relevant parties would promote these activities to foreign tourists.
She hoped the ministry would allocate more fund for the activities as the amount received so far was not sufficient.
She reminded the various organising committees to submit their expenditure’s estimate to the Resident’s Office for onwards transmission to the ministry’s office.
Among those present were Siti Awa Suib representating permanent secretary to Ministry of Tourism, Arts, Culture, Youth and Sports; Mohd. Hisyamudin Bolhassan representing CEO of Sarawak Tourism Board; Meradong District officer Badjuri Bidin; Pakan District officer Seroji Ludin, Temenggong Junia Olia and representatives from Sarikei and Julau District Office.
