Kota Kinabalu: Sabah’s dive tourism is earning more than RM500 million in receipts yearly and this eco-tourism jewel needs protection from environmental degradation, particularly blast fishing.From almost zero divers in 1983, Sabah has today some 75,000 divers annually, which is set to grow, if this high-value tourism product is properly managed.
For Sabah’s MICE (meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions) industry to earn RM500 million in tourism revenue, more than 75,000 foreign attendees would be needed.
