Tourism Malaysia and the Sandakan Tourism Association (STAN) officially launched the new A Guide to Sandakan brochure as part of their vigorous efforts to promote interstate travel to Sabah in light of the Visit Malaysia 2026 (VM2026) campaign.
A Guide to Sandakan offers a variety of interesting options: an enticing blend of stunning natural landscapes, diverse flora and fauna, adventure activities, rich cultural experiences, and gastronomy in Sandakan.
The launch was graced by deputy minister of tourism, arts, and culture Khairul Firdaus Akbar Khan together with tourism secretary-general Shaharuddin Abu Sohot, Tourism Malaysia director in Sabah Haryanty Abu Bakar, and STAN president Chee Kim Teo, President Sandakan Tourism Association.
Khan said in his remarks that the guide will help encourage domestic and international visitors to plan their holiday or even weekend getaway to Sandakan.
He said: “From cosying up with the orangutan in the wild, to coming up close with the Bornean Sun Bears, the mascot of Visit Malaysia Year 2026. With the blend of wildlife and adventure, unique local eats and fresh seafood, Sandakan is the ideal getaway to explore the state of Sabah.”
