KUCHING, Oct 20: The Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture Malaysia (MOTAC) has approved the upgrading of eco-tourism infrastructure at four locations in Sarawak, including Santubong National Park, Similajau National Park, Kubah National Park and Matang Wildlife Centre.

Minister of Tourism, Creative Industry and Performing Arts Dato Sri Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah said the initiatives would enhance tourism facilities and accessibility while improving the overall visitor experience.

“These initiatives will enhance tourism facilities and accessibility and improve the overall visitor experience,” he said during his ministerial winding-up speech at the Sarawak Legislative Assembly (DUS) sitting today.
