Introduction
Today, tourism industry has plays an important role in Malaysia. Tourism has become so significant in social development and contributes to our economic. In 2009, there were 23.6 million tourists arrivals based on the report by the Malaysian Tourism Board, an increase of 7.2% reported in 2008, i.e. on average an average of 64,000 tourist arrivals daily. This was translated to RM53 billion in total receipts and RM34 billion in total GNI contributions which have developed into a major sector of the economy – the second largest foreign exchange earner after manufacturing.
There have many tourism places in Malaysia. One of the famous places is Sabah. Sabah is located in the North of Borneo and is surrounded by the South China Sea to the North, the Sulu Sea to the north east, the Celebes Sea. It is a mountainous country with tropical rainforests and coastal swamp plains intersected by many rivers resulting in diverse ecosystems supporting many unique flora and fauna. In here we can find the world’s largest flower, the Rafflesia. Besides, one of the highest mountains in South East Asia, Mount Kinabalu and also one of the world’s top dive sites, Sipadan Island are also located in here.
Sabah is not only richly blessed with nature diversity and unique cultures but also full with fun adventure, beautiful beaches, and fantastic cuisines for the adventurous taste buds. Sabah has more than 30 different ethnic races and over 80 local dialects spoken. There have a culture village with allow tourists to visit and expose. The fantastic cuisines such as Guo Min noodle, Hilltop Fish noodle, Inanam Custard Bread, Damai Roti Kahwin and others also can find in Sabah. The adventure in Sabah sure will give tourists a great and unforgettable experience!
