The launch took place during the Keningau Tourism Creative Industry Awards Night on April 2 at Bandukan Resort here.
The book was officially launched by Deputy Permanent Secretary II of the Sabah Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Environment, Datin Dr Cleopatra @ Clay Asing.
KeTCA Chairman Rafie Datuk Robert said the publication is part of ongoing efforts to strengthen the promotion of local tourism, which still holds significant untapped potential.

Rafie noted that continuous promotion of local tourism products would not only attract more visitors but also contribute to boosting the local community’s economy.
Meanwhile, he hoped that “Discover Keningau” would serve as a useful guide and a source of inspiration for tourists to explore the district’s natural beauty and unique cultural heritage.
