KOTA KINABALU: Sabah Tourism Board (STB) encourages business event organisers to reach out to them for assistance in planning and holding major national and international conferences in the State.
Assistant Tourism, Culture, and Environment Minister Datuk Joniston Bangkuai said constant engagement with the Board is key to ensuring that all stakeholders work collaboratively to prepare for the return of business events.
With the Malaysian borders now open, Joniston said they anticipate more business conferences and exhibitions will take place in the near future as industry players choose Sabah as a venue for business events.
“Sabah Tourism has launched ‘Sabah: BE here for you’ campaign in 2020, targeting the Business Events industry,” he said in a statement, Friday.
“It is still running to this day, and the campaign involves a RM5 million grant incentive from the state government.
“Eligible applicants can apply for this grant up to RM100,000 maximum per group, for both national and international events meetings.”
Joniston, who chairs STB said information on the campaign can be found on the Board's Business Events website at www.be.sabahtourism.com.
